I found the problem with the PPD generation. When generating
"untranslated" PPDs for the POSIX "C" locale, the locale was not set
explicitly, and so ended up as en_GB with UTF-8. This made genppd
automatically translate and recode the output to UTF-8...
The fix is as follows (against upstream CVS; I've make the change to
Makefile.in in the Debian source for a variety of reasons):

I've now built a new set of packages, and the generated data is
(AFAICT) all ASCII-only. You can download them from
http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/gimp-print/sid/4.2.7/
(please download all the ones you have installed, not just
cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data). Does this fix the problem?

That is weird. I've no explanation for that one! If this still
occurs with the fixed packages, please file a bug against cupsys.

It's the first time it was reported :-/
