Ok, but here you are triggering queue creation manually from the shell with (I suppose) every locale-related environment variables set correctly. Will it be the case for hotplug-triggered creations ? (it seems not to be the case today) BTW some vendor PPDs only include a subset of the formats a printer can process (the manual tray can typically eat whatever strange enveloppe format you feed it), so I wouldn't trust them blindly.
