[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#486088: hplip: hp-setup fails when LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15

[Karl E. Jorgensen]

Package: hplip
Version: 2.8.4-1
Severity: normal

When trying to setup a printer (with LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15) hp-setup
fails in two ways:
- It cannot locate the PPD file (the list of PPD files is empty, and a
  PPD has to be selected manually through clicking "Select Other")
- It fails to install the printer , resulting in these two entries in the
  syslog:
  Jun 13 10:13:27 jorginator python: hp-setup[10755]: error: Printer queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again.
  Jun 13 10:13:52 jorginator python: hp-setup[10755]: error: Fax queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again.

The printer in question is a HP Color LaserJet 2840.

But, when running hp-setup from the command line:
	LANG="" gksu hp-setup
everything worked!
