Comment 1 Daniel Nicoletti 2019-03-28 12:28:07 UTC 
This text comes from the PPD driver file, can you check if it has valid unicode? Does the text looks right at http://localhost:631 ?
Comment 2 t34 2019-03-29 19:51:53 UTC 
http://localhost:631 also shows the umlaut incorrectly.
Comment 3 t34 2019-03-29 20:01:52 UTC 
I found a file /etc/cups/ppd/Kyocera_ECOSYS_P3045dn.ppd
The Editor open this file as UTF-8 and the "ä" is shown correct. It is the only umlaut in that file. The ppd does not start with a BOM.

Thank you for the bug report, and I'm sorry we weren't able to resolve it. A lot has changed since it was reported; can I ask you to see if this is still an issue with Plasma 6.4 or later? Thanks a lot!

The problem is no longer observed with Plasma 5.27.12
