[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [9] RFR: JDK-8139216: Non-ASCII characters in CUPS printer names are not properly displayed

[prasanta sadhukhan]

Hi All,

I have modified the fix to assign printer name in case 
UnsupportedEncodingException is thrown which is unlikely as we are using 
UTF-8 as character encoding and not any user-supplied encoding.
