...and that's already the end of the story. Since CUPS-PDF has no means to determine whether a specific page is a CUPS test page (no, CUPS-PDF will never do an in-detail analysis of the contents of the PostScript passed to it) the test page will always be printed as the user CUPS chooses for printing it. > 2. where should the test page file be saved to?

In case of denied anonymous accesses already now CUPS-PDF prints an "anonymous access denied" as INFO-message to its log file.
