Right now it uses the DefaultLanguage setting in the cupsd.conf file,
which defaults to the (equivalent) of "printenv LC_ALL" (if LC_ALL
is defined) or "printenv LANG" (otherwise).

I suspect we should be using the CUPS language API to get the default,
since it will do the "right thing" to get the default locale on
MacOS X, but I'm not sure how that works when run in the background
(the Internationalization settings are per-user...)
