Yup, the RU strings tripping the errors are 49 characters taking up 88 
bytes.  CUPS has a hardcoded upper limit of 80 characters for these 
strings.

As an aside, the PPD spec doesn't seem to explicitly mention a limit for 
translation strings (beyond the per-line limit of 255 bytes) so it 
appears that this is a CUPS implementation detail.

If you disable strict conformance checks, CUPS will accept the PPD but 
truncate the string at 80 bytes, possibly resulting in illegal UTF-8.
