Bug#903407: evince: Fail to generate valid print job for files with '&' in the name

[Kit Haines]

Package: evince
Version: 3.22.1-3+deb9u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

(I've replaced my legal name with 'Legal Name' here, since I don't use
it.  My legal name has no special characters nor ampersand in them).

I'm trying to print a document named "Legal Name - Option Cancel &
Reissue Agreement.pdf"; but when I click print, I get the error (on
the commandline):

kit at gelnora:~/Downloads$ evince Legal\ Name\ -\ Option\ Cancel\ \&\ Reissue\ Agreement.pdf

This is inconvenient because of the filter on the printer at my
office.  I need to set the printer name to the approved document to
print.  I do not have this error when I copy the file to print
`NoName.pdf'.

I expected evince to escape the file name for me.
