Package: printer-driver-cups-pdf
Version: 3.0.1-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

using the cups-pdf printer with a short document title (< 32 chars) results in faulty generated filename. This don't affect titles >= 32 chars.

example:
lp -d PDF -t short INPUT.pdf

result:
a generated PDF file named "short__rtin_PDF.pdf"
(in this case, file name seems to be the target path (/home/martin/PDF) with first characters replaced by the title in some magically appeared brackets)

expected:
a generated PDF file named "short.pdf" in /home/martin/PDF/

some logging:

Since this is merely a question of preferred behavior that can be
easily configured by changing the value for TitlePref, I'm closing
this bug.
