Comment 2 for bug 415452

Okay, I figured out why is this package actually useful.

When you open a given printers properties window in system-config-printer, the Printer Options tab looks like this:

These English strings are coming from the gutenprint ppd file, and are translated in the gutenprint po files.

It turns out, that the po files in this package are used to localize the ppd when one adds a new printer. Because this package is not installed by default, you see the previous picture. After installing it, I can see the following:

Much better, but there are still some English strings. Let's see what happens, when I msgunfmt the mo file from the langpack to the place of the gutenprint_hu.po from this package:

Almost perfect :).

So, I think we need to ship gutenprint's po files (I have no idea why do they use po and not mo format... but at least it works) from Launchpad either as updates of this package and making sure it is installed by default, or as part of the language packs, in which case this package could be really eliminated.
