Chapter 5. Test Page Printing

Table of Contents

5.1. ASCII Test Page
5.2. PostScript Test Page

The queues are saved when finishing the printer module. When testing printer, only the queue being tested is saved. The names of these saved queues are y2test, or y2testNUMBER (first free number is found in order to avoid collision of queue names). The problem may occur when tested queue is somehow connected to other queue that hasn't been saved yet (eg. create a queue A and then create a queue B which will be a network queue forwarding jobs to the queue A of the local host which hasn't been saved.

After a queue is saved, the test page is prepared. There are two kinds of test pages: ASCII test page and PostScript test page.

5.1. ASCII Test Page

There is no need to update the ASCII test page before being printed. It is just passed to the spooler.
