Thanks for letting me know. Are these packages the normal Debian
ones, or have they been built from the upstream release tarball?
The current Debian packages don't translate the PPDs, so you should
have plain ASCII/US English. If you look in the CUPS web interface,
are any of the configuration labels and parameters in English
(i.e. British English). I build the packages in an en_GB UTF-8
locale, but this shouldn't affect anything.
Regards,
Roger
