Title:
  cups produces error on attempt to print test page

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cups

  Actions taken:
  1. point browser to localhost:631
  2. select Printers | Manage Printers
  3. select the physical printer (as opposed to the Virtual PDF Printer)
  4. select Maintenance | Print Self Test Page

  Expected: printer issues the well-known CUPS test page
  Observed: error message: Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-command'!

  Background:
  I have been upgrading to new Kubuntu versions on this four or five-year old machine ever since I bought it. I have space for three releases at any one time. The home directory is in its own partition and I have always left it intact. I was suffering several small but infuriating functionality problems that drew zero response from several increasingly plaintive postings. I suspected cruft in my "dot files" (configuration files). I did a "bare metal" reinstall of both the OS and my own user partition, copying back only config directories that contained useful data, as opposed to config settings, e.g. ~/.cddb and ~/.thumbnails.

  I provide this detail because the previous Lucid Lynx instance on this
  machine --- as well as the karmic and jaunty releases --- have always
  printed the CUPS test page uneventfully. It is therefore puzzling to
  receive this error on the "cleanest" reinstall that I have done in
  years.

  OT: the cruft removal exercise does, however, seem to have resolved
  the other functionality problems.
