[cups.general] Problem printing Self-Test Pages

[Michael Sweet]

The issue is that the PPD file lists application/vnd.cups-pdf, which makes cupsd think it is not a simple PostScript printer and cannot use the standard PostScript command filter.

Please file a bug (and include the version of CUPS you are using):

In the meantime, the regular Print Test Page stuff should work...
