Testing, testing, testing. It prints

In lieu of a standard test page, I print the google home page.

Assuming it's not a doodle, the google logo + search box has all the ink colors for most printers, and is very low coverage.

Wow, whether through legacy support, or they just don't care, when's the last time you heard Microsoft or Apple talking about the print diagnostic page? Perhaps Ubuntu will finally crack the Linux as a truly (your grandmother can use it) alternative desktop OS.

Maybe MS and Apple think other things are much more worth talking about. I would concur, personally.

It is astonishing that they took four years to fix their incredibly wasteful custom test page.

I assume their todo list resembles mine, but more complex.

I've got a lot of stuff (116 todos) as line items. Some of that is important, priority 1 stuff.

A lot of it it is not, and will be gotten around to as time permits.

Changing a test print-out would seem to me to be one of those low-priority fix it when you have time, deals.

Or they could just revert it to the CUPS default page.
