Public bug reported: When the cups system is upgraded during an Ubuntu release, the ppd file for the Konica Minolta printer that I use is replaced.
The PPD file I found on the Konica site starts like this: ``` *PPD-Adobe: "4.3" *% Linux Version [cut license] *FormatVersion: "4.3" *LanguageVersion: English *LanguageEncoding: ISOLatin1 *FileVersion: "20002.0000" *Manufacturer: "KONICA MINOLTA" *ModelName: "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS/P" *ShortNickName: "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" *NickName: "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" *PCFileName: "KOC451UX.ppd" *Product: "(C451)" *PSVersion: "(3015.102) 1" ``` When the system upgrade occurs (this has happened several times over the years), the English language version is replaced by Chinese. ``` *PPD-Adobe: "4.3" *% Linux Version *FormatVersion: "4.3" *LanguageVersion: Simplified Chinese *LanguageEncoding: None *FileVersion: "20002.0000" *Manufacturer: "KONICA MINOLTA" *ModelName: "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS/P" *ShortNickName: "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" *NickName: "KONICA MINOLTA C451 PS(P)" *PCFileName: "KOC451SCX.ppd" *Product: "(C451)" *PSVersion: "(3015.102) 1" ``` I asked about this in the "askubuntu" forum a few months ago, but waited till now to say it really is a bug and report to you. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1038456/printer-config-uses-wrong-language The bad effect of this is that the printer menus do not have correct English language labels and options, so you can't see, for example "Print 2 sided". You see just question marks and failed efforts to show Chinese. ** Affects: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829274 Title: ppd file has wrong language after cups update Status in cups package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When the cups system is upgraded during an Ubuntu release, the ppd file for the Konica Minolta printer that I use is replaced.
