[cups.general] Unknown device: stp (was Re: Setting locale failed

[Till Kamppeter]

Which PPD file are you using? From where did you get it? Are there also 
PPD files with "gimp-print-ijs" in their name, use a PPD file 
"gimp-print-ijs" and it should work. The "stp" driver compiled into 
GhostScript is obsolete. Currently you should use the IJS driver 
("gimp-print-ijs" PPDs) or the CUPS raster driver of Gimp-Print.
