[Pkg-cups-devel] CUPS test page broken

Hi All,

I spent an hour or two this evening trying to diagnose a failure with my 
printer.

As far as I can tell I fixed the problem quite early on (usb device not 
loaded) however it took my quite a long time after that to realise the 
printer was actually fine because the CUPS test page appears to be broken

Printing anything else works fine - but when I try to print the test 
page I get an error like this:

Hope I've sent this to the right people
