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?

Indeed, the CUPS error is trivially (and exclusively) reproducible for me if
I run:
# LANG=en_US /etc/init.d/samba restart
Otherwise, Samba always correctly negotiates UTF-8 as the display charset
based on my en_US.UTF-8 locale.

unix charset = iso8859-15
"dos charset" and "display charset" are not set.
Is it realy required to rename files on disk to resolve this problem?

How can I check this?
Is it sufficient to reconfigure locales package and reboot afterwards?

Since it appears to be the 'display charset' which governs interaction with
CUPS, probably not.

When you sent your initial bug report, reportbug listed "de_DE.UTF-8" as
your locale. Was this on the machine where you experienced the problem? If
so, it should be sufficient for you to run:
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 /etc/init.d/samba restart
to test whether this fixes your problem. If it does, then I guess you need
to reconfigure your locale so that the change is persistent across reboots.
Thinking about this report, it's my opinion that this is a bug in Samba. We
know that CUPS 1.3.5 and above require UTF-8, so Samba should always use
UTF-8 when talking to CUPS, regardless of the display charset setting. If
you can confirm that the above changes fix the problem for you, I'll forward
the report upstream.
