I'm sorry for taking so long to come back. Inkscape somehow couldn't export the files to pdf. This was solved by converting everything to plain svg paths. Anyway... This version brings back the Ubuntu logo and the page borders (for printable area testing).

[Bug 298935] Re: test print uses far too much ink
Thanks for the new test page design, it looks really great. Only point to improve are the borders. What distance did you choose? I suggest to put the borders exactly as in the old test page: 8 lines, 1/16 of an inch apart, so the innermost being 1/2 of an inch away from the border. Line styles as in the old page, too. This makes it much easier to see how big the unprintable borders are and which value in PostScript points (1/72 inch) has to be used in the PPD file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298935 Title: test print uses far too much ink -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm working on it. Should it be simply a thinned-down version of the original test page, without the Ubuntu logo? ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Lucas Camargo (lucaspcamargo) -- test print uses far too much ink https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 298935] Re: test print uses far too much ink
Here's a preliminary version of the test page. I believe it will save us some ink, but still fill in enough color for solidity verification. Color cartridge alignment can also be checked with it. I think it's missing an Ubuntu logo. It's not an essential thing, but would look more professional. I'm open to suggestions on where to add it, what's the best size, etc. ** Attachment added: New ubuntu printer test page.

Thank you very much for redesigning the test page. Please re-add the borders to test the unprintable margins.

[Bug 298935] Re: test print uses far too much ink
Well I'm not sure if this is really a bug... Of course it uses some more ink than just a simple your printer works-page. But on the other hand you can see everything relevant: How big the crop at the edges is and if colors are printed correctly (no tint). Maybe an alternative test page could be a solution but I guess you can achive that yourself by opening OOo, typing a few words and trying to print. -- test print uses far too much ink https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes; the printer test page in Ubuntu waste far too much ink. This is a big problem that needs to be addressed NOW. After two or three test pages my printers are running low on ink. Ubuntu's printer test pages simply suck all the ink out of the printer. Not very beneficial to end users.
