Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2006-05-25 12:21:01 UTC 
Fixed in CVS.
Comment 2 Anton Guda 2006-05-26 15:31:28 UTC 
Tested system-config-printer-0.7.9-1 :OK
Bug may be closed.
Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2006-05-26 15:53:03 UTC 
The actual trigger is that one LC_... variable is different to another LC_...
variable.  In that case, trying to getlocale(LC_ALL) can't return a sensible answer.

0.7.9 is still afflicted with this; try:

LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 system-config-printer

However, system-config-printer-0.7.10-1 should now handle this correctly.
