Local fix

Problem summary

• For Wrong Status:
  On Unix systems the printer status is gathered by running
  /usr/sbin/lpc status command. The output of this command is
  parsed and according to the results the status is returned. With
  C locale the result is parsed correctly but in case of Japanese
  locale the result obtained from running lpc status command is in
  Japanese and there parsing fails and it fails to return the
  correct status.
  For incorrect QueuedJobCount:
  This was returned wrongly because wrong line from lpc command
  was being parsed.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  1.4.2 SR13-2
  5.0.0 SR11
  .
  The JVM has been updated to prevent wrong parsing of lpc
  command.
  .
  To obtain the fix:
  Install build 20090822 or later
