Description of problem:
When running "ptal-init setup" after installing the hpoj drivers, the script
successfully manages to detect the printer (in my case an HP OfficeJet K60) but
after setting everything up, "ptal-init setup" exited with an error message.

WORKAROUND
----------
If I start the progam using the wollowing command instead, it works:

    $ LC_ALL=C ptal-init setup


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start "ptam-init setup" with an HP OfficeJet K60 printer attached to the USB bus.


Actual Results:  Currently defined device names ([*]=default):
    *** The following devices are using an obsolete configuration
    *** file format.  Use "/usr/sbin/ptal-init setup"
    *** to delete and re-probe them:
    --> "mlc:usb:OfficeJet_K60"
 
A system-wide default device name is not currently defined.
 
Press <Enter> alone to continue with no default,
or enter a new default device name here --->

-----
here you are back at the shell prompt with an incorrect printer installation


Expected Results:  The printer should have been installed.


Additional info:

The installer has a problem reading the configuration file it created. I did
this on a sunday, and "sunday" in swedish is "s�ndag" (note the special
character). The current date is pasted into the generated config file which
could be the cause of the problem.

I did try to remove the (possibly) offending character but it still wouldn't
accept the configuration. I only managed to get it to run after re-probing with
LC_ALL set to C.
