Public bug reported:
The printing option dialog (see attached PNG file) is broken with Bionic
Japanese environment.
This issue seems to be coming from the generated PPD file with wrong
language/encoding.
I tried with Epson EP-879AW.
Steps to reproduce:
1) generate a print queue by driverless feature with ja-JP locale:
$ LANG-ja_JP.UTF-8 lpadmin -p driverlesstest-ja -E -v `driverless` -m
everywhere
2) check the generated PPD (attached driverlesstest-ja.ppd)
$ sudo less /etc/cups/ppd/driverlesstest-ja.ppd
Expected: PPD have same language/encoding with content (if the content
have Japanese, language/encoding should be Japanese/UTF-8)
Actual: PPD has Japanese strings, but language/encoding is
English/ISOLatin1
