Hi Sven,

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
