Brazilian portuguese kde too:

kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 18, in kpythonpluginfactory_bridge
  File "/usr/share/kde4/apps/system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py", line 4005, in CreatePlugin

    return unicode(i18n(string), "utf-8")
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 4-6: invalid data

My system:
kubuntu 9.04 with all updates
kde 4.3.0
Comment 2 Andrés Becerra 2009-09-03 18:23:46 UTC 
Definitively is a localization bug, if I do:

LC_ALL="en_EN" kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde

the module loads correctly in my spanish locale.
Comment 3 commat 2009-09-05 19:11:09 UTC 
How to fix it.

Edit file:
/usr/share/kde4/apps/system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py

Go to line 223 and ...

Replace -> special_choice=_("Automatic rotation")),
by -> special_choice=i18n("Automatic rotation")),

It works for me.

Definitively, that change fixes the module, thanks.
