Public bug reported: When I use an attached PPD encoded in JIS83-RKSJ (Shift JIS Japanese; traditional Japanese PPD encoding), most of applications including CUPS Web UI, system-config-printer or gtk-print can't display item names. See attached screenshot of CUPS Web UI and SCP.
This bug is reproduced in Oneiric and Precise both, but I haven't tried older version or other distros yet. It seems upstream bug but I can't find STR on CUPS.BUGS.
