When I use attached PPD encoded in JIS83-RKSJ (Shift JIS Japanese;
traditional Japanese PPD encoding), most of applications including CUPS
Web UI, system-config-printer or gtk-print can't display item names.
CUPS 1.4.x works fine with the PPD (I tried Ubuntu 10.04 LTS; CUPS
1.4.3-1), and I haven't tried CUPS 1.6 yet.
JIS83-RKSJ is a valid encoding defined in Apple PPD specification, so CUPS
need to handle these "traditional" style encoding right to backward
compatibility.
