[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#467117: Please reopen #457771, hplip: hp-setup fails to find PPD file

[Slaven]

I've just installed version 2.8.2 and this bug is still there. By 
specifying standard C locale I can work around this bug, as earlier 
suggested.

This bug is also reported in #467117 and it seems that the same problem 
is causing bug #458291. I quote the workaround below.

Cheers,
Slaven
