CUPS test page does not look very good at A0

Bug Description

Binary package hint: cupsys

When printed at A0, the fonts on the border of the CUPS test page are too large and overlap/run off the page. This is especially obvious on the borders that measure in length in centimeters. It would be good if the CUPS test page choose the size of these fonts in centimeters, rather than as a percentage of the page dimensions.

This is a bug in the design of the CUPS test page (/usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps), which is a PostScript program which draws the page dependent on the paper size.

Therefore I have reported the problem upstream now:
