Public bug reported:

On Linux Mint 22.3 LTS / 24.04 LTS noble German/DE Locale

Trying to print in Libre Office causes a crash instantly 
when selecting a printer with an older .ppd driver.
(in this case for a Konica Minolta C364e Version 1.27 Date 5.7.2024 in 
https://www.konicaminolta.de/de-de/support/download-center, Printer does not 
need to exist to test it).
Libre office does not respond any more and needs to be killed. 

lpoptions -p [printername] -l
creates "Assertion failed on Memalloc", so its definitly a cups and not a libre 
office issue

Seems to be somehow related to Locale Settings, with LCMESSAGES=C 
lpoptions -p [printername] -l created the expected output, 
but Libre Office did then still crash often on selecting printer.

Affected Systems can be fixed via downgrade to 2.4.7-1.2ubuntu7.9 and holding 
the package 
with this code in Terminal:

sudo apt-get install --allow-downgrades cups=2.4.7-1.2ubuntu7 cups-core-
drivers=2.4.7-1.2ubuntu7 cups-daemon=2.4.7-1.2ubuntu7
libcups2t64=2.4.7-1.2ubuntu7 cups-client=2.4.7-1.2ubuntu7

sudo apt-mark hold cups cups-core-drivers cups-daemon libcups2t64 cups-
client
