For printer-state-reasons keywords (persistent conditions you report
via STATE: messages), use the PPD compiler to localize your
cupsIPPReason attributes.

For filter-generated messages ("Printing page 1, 15%", etc.), use
CoreFoundation and bundle your filter.  An example of this is
available from Apple in the "SampleRaster" project.
