Description

Hallo.

In process for solving following issue https://github.com/OpenPrinting/libcupsfilters/issues/99 found that generate_banner_pdf function have untranslatable strings used for creating test print page:

libcupsfilters already include gettext dependency.

We can use translation domain presented in current repository for that?

Research direction

Inspect cupsfilters/bannertopdf.c around generate_banner_pdf and the listed lines to identify the untranslatable test-page strings. Read how the existing gettext dependency and translation domain are used elsewhere in the repository. Done means those strings use the appropriate translation mechanism and domain for localized output.
