This looks like a repeat of bug #451105 in CUPS.  In general, this appears
to be a behavior change in CUPS which results in stricter configuration
requirements for Samba.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451105#40 describes a
particular method for fixing the problem.  Can you check what you currently
have for your 'dos charset', 'unix charset', and 'display charset' settings
in smb.conf?

Your 'display charset' value may be set to 'LOCALE'.  I see that you filed
the bug report from a UTF-8 locale, but is it possible that other users on
your system (e.g., root) are still using an ISO8859-1 locale?
