Even worse, if such a PPD is + installed into the system's PPD repository, the corresponding printer(s) + will not auto-setup. + + [Test Case] + + Take a PPD file which is not UTF-8-encoded, for example a PPD file for + Windows with Windows-1252 encoding. Try to set up a que with it or to + change an existing queue to use it by means of system-config-printer. + system-config-printer will crash. + + With the proposed package the PPD can be used without problems. + + [Regression Potential] + + The changes are very simple and therefore the regression potential is + low.
