It is a CUPS upstream bug, it is in /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops. To reproduce:
0. Do "sudo apt-get install gv" (Include universe in /etc/apt/sources.list if needed) 1. Create a PostScript file which does not contain a "%%Title:" line, either by printing from an appropriate application into a file (for example Firefox, document content does not matter) or by deleting this line from an existing PostScript file with a text editor. 2. Type cat file.ps | /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops 1 user a 1 "" > result.ps gv result.ps You will see your PostScript file in a window. Close the window 3. Type cat file.ps | /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops 1 user 'a and press <Enter>. Then type b' 1 "" > result.ps and press <Enter> again. You have made pstops now treating a job with the title "a<newline>b". Do gv result.ps and you get an error. So pstops cannot treat jobs whose titles have a newline inside, or where due to a misinterpreted encoding a byte of decimal value 13 (= ASCII value for newline) is not understood as part of a special character.
