How old am I? Old enough that I still never use special characters in file names, precisely because this kind of nonsense hides everywhere (although I probably would have fallen for this one, too).

For example, my home NAS runs on OpenMediaVault, which is great, except that not only doesn't it allow special characters - it fails the upload with a generic error message so you have no idea why it isn't working.

Just a reminder that any tech chain may have hidden legacy issues.

(Other things I do: never user spaces in file or folder names, and always end every text file with an empty line 🙂)

I added a bit more context to my post and also wrote a bug report:

(The bug *might* be in the Brother software, not CUPS, but I still wanted to make the CUPS team aware of it)

Just saying.
