TB Printer Options.png

Hi, so as you ask me I will share some "insights".
First, I use Ubuntu 20.04 with the nice Unity desktop environment. Others may show different.

Almost all views in the TB printer dialogue are perfectly localized to German with one exception, the advanced tab shows the options in English, and only for 2 of the 3 HP printer drivers I have installed, see screen shot. Also a different count of options is shown for the 3 drivers, and for the HP PS driver there is an additional tab "Printer quality".
As far as I guess, the translations and options come from the /etc/cups/ppd*.ppd files, shipped by the driver. for example, the file for the HP PS driver has 137 kb whereas the 2 others have only 14 kb. The first contains several translations, whereas the 2 smaller have only English items. Don't know from where the translated items in the TB dialogue come from.
The print dialogue for TB and the PDF viewer are the same, so they seem to come from the OS, but the printer dialogue for LibreOffice looks very different.

Hope that helps!
