From gimp-print README This package normally builds translated versions of the PPD files. This provides PPD files translated into the languages that this package supports. However, the translation process does not work correctly on all systems; in particular, many BSD systems are known to simply build multiple copies of the English PPD files. If your system does not build these files correctly, which will be apparent when you use a CUPS front end to select a PPD file and you see something like this: EPSON Stylus Photo EX, CUPS+GIMP-print v4.2.1(en) EPSON Stylus Photo EX, CUPS+GIMP-print v4.2.1(en) EPSON Stylus Photo EX, CUPS+GIMP-print v4.2.1(en)
The current development version of redhat-config-printer handles CUPS, and does not suffer from this problem.
