Creating a printer name containing a number sign (pound sign #) causes problems

If you create a printer via the web interface whose name contains a pound sign, its attributes are forgotten and you cannot delete it via the web interface. Recommend that you have an error message when people try to create printers with a pound sign in their name. (We were trying to add our second printer "LaserJet4si#2" to our system.)

I suspect there may also be other pound-sign-unfriendly fields, since the printers.conf file probably takes them all to be comments.

Thanks!
