[ale] CUPS Test Print Generation

  Under CUPS 1.4.4, CUPS apparently doesn't keep a "testprint.ps" 
hanging around and instead apparently generates one on the fly using 
instructions that read as follows:

#CUPS-BANNER
Show printer-name printer-info printer-location printer-make-and-model 
printer-driver-name printer-driver-version paper-size imageable-area
Header Printer Test Page
Footer Printer Test Page
Notice This test page was produced by CUPS 1.4.4.

I want to capture the Postscript file that these instructions generate 
for a given print device (in this case, a label printer).  Anyone know 
how to get there from here?
