Thx Simon,
I apologize, I have no problem with another newer testing
installation.

The issues begin from a machine that upgrades testinig for a long
time. Some cups configurations / dependencies is broken probally, I'll
reinstall it. How can I close the bug report? I'm novice contributor.

I'm sorry Luca.

As the message says, this is normally a bug in an application that
uses D-Bus. Something (either lpstat itself, or a library that it uses)
is passing a non-UTF-8 argument to a libdbus function that requires UTF-8.

Please get a backtrace from lpstat or some other program
that is crashing: that will tell us which layer is passing
an invalid argument to libdbus. For more information see
. For example, as root:

# apt install gdb

then as an ordinary user:

$ gdb -batch -n -ex 'set pagination off' -ex run -ex bt -ex 'bt full' -ex 
'thread apply all bt full' --args lpstat

To diagnose that bug report, a list of dependencies (not just libdbus)
will probably be needed, so please send the output of

reportbug --template cups-client

to this bug. If your lpstat executable is not provided by cups-client,
use the name of the package that provides it instead - it might be lprng,
depending how your system is configured.

Thanks,
smcv

Bug#944368: libdbus-1-3 printing issues

[luca]

Package: libdbus-1-3
Version: 1.12.16-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Many tools or commands crash in printing.

These are output errors issuing lpstat -t:

@pc:~$ lpstat -t
dbus[14481]: arguments to dbus_message_iter_append_basic() were
incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_utf8 (*string_p)" failed in
file ../../../dbus/dbus-message.c line 2754. This is normally a bug in
some application using the D-Bus library.

D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
