Bug#718263: Backtrace when adding printer with French locales

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: system-config-printer
Version: 1.4.1-3
Severity: important

Hi,

When trying to add a new printer I get the following backtrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py", line 3587, in on_tvNPModels_cursor_changed
    self.fillDriverList(self.NPMake, pmodel)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py", line 3539, in fillDriverList
    iter = model.append ((driver + _(" (recommended)"),))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 11: ordinal not in range(128)

This seems to be related to the French translation of "recommended" (using fr_BE.utf8 locales).

Changing the locales to "C" is preventing this backtrace

Cheers

Laurent Bigonville
