Comment 53 for bug 282186

Till, I have a question:
In comment "Till Kamppeter wrote on 2008-11-26:" you wrote
--------------------------------------------------
one should not use the CUPS test page in a PDF printing workflow anyway.
Use the Ubuntu test page /usr/share/system-config-printer/testpage-a4.ps instead.
--------------------------------------------------
I assume there is also a testpage-letter.ps but what do you send to the printer
when its default paper size is neither A4 nor Letter but e.g. A3 or Legal
and/or when the printer cannot print on A4 or Letter (e.g. because it is
a small-format photo output devide or a label printer or whatever else).

I think the attempt to provide ready-made test pages is futile
(except the test page is a true PostScript program).

The real solution would be that the printer setup tool autogenerates
the test page (in PostScript or perhaps even better in PDF format)
during runtime according to the current actual settings for
DefaultImageableArea, ColorDevice/DefaultColorSpace,
and DefaultResolution of the print queue.
