Seems OK to me.

I agree with ARM's suggestion.

However ARM is wrong here. We have used "pish farz" for "default", and 
it has been used extensivly before.
As to how to translate this string I underestand your problem. Personaly 
This method has worked for me:

In the first line write "be soorate pish farz"
and then hit enter and go to the next line, and type this in the second 
line:
/usr/share/cups.</p>\n

All translators remember, in KBabel, you can hit enter and go to a new 
line whenever you want. No one says that your translations should 
follow the original message about the number of lines. You can hit 
enter and go to a new line whenever you feel appropriate, and you can 
combine two lines, if necessary. The overall format of a string in 
KBabel, doesn't have anything to do with the way a message will be 
displayed in the actual software. So, feel free to enter a new line. 
this specially helps when translating strings that have combine farsi 
and english texts.

Cheers
