Sure, please try these new versions on your printer. They test fine on
my Epson Stylus Photo R200. The source package remains exactly the same,
you can use this to make any modified test page you want (if you have
Scribus installed).
Please note that although these files are Postscript not EPS, I have
renamed them with the .eps extension so they will work as drop-in
replacements. Otherwise you will have to change the source code of
gnome-cups-manager to call .ps files. Without either of these changes,
gnome-cups-manger will just error when you ask for a test page to be
printed.
The old versions were made EPS because that's what the original Ximian
tool had, and I was trying not break compatibility. The EPS versions
still worked in 64 Studio last time I tried them; maybe we ship some
library that isn't in a default Etch desktop install.
Cheers!
Daniel
