[Theppitak Karoonboonyanan]

Package: system-config-printer
Version: 1.4.1-4
Followup-For: Bug #718263

Dear Maintainer,

Same for Thai locale when trying to open printer properties dialog:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 1666, in on_edit_activate
    self.dests_iconview_item_activated (self.dests_iconview, paths[0])
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 512, in dests_iconview_item_activated
    parent=self.PrintersWindow)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/printerproperties.py", line 573, in show
    self.load (name, host=host, encryption=encryption, parent=parent)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/printerproperties.py", line 1477, in load
    self.updatePrinterProperties ()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/printerproperties.py", line 1637, in updatePrinterProperties
    state += ' - ' + reason
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Or the print queue:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 1705, in on_view_print_queue_activate
    parent=self.PrintersWindow)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/jobviewer.py", line 508, in __init__
    self.JobsWindow.set_title (_("Document Print Status (%s)") % title)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

And the dialogs just don't open at all, rendering the program unusable.
