In Ubuntu 14.04.5 this issue seems to be fixed. Now the test page is sent to the appropriate printer rather than to the default printer. So this bug can be closed.

I've got one printer in my system, HP LaserJet 3052, which is connected as network printer. Obviously, it is set as default. Its URI is 'hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_3052?zc=NPIE50CCB' and its driver is 'HP LaserJet 3052 Postscript (recommended)'. Later I added second printer using GNOME Printers applet. Second printer model is HP LaserJet 1220, it is connected via SAMBA with URI 'smb://XX.XX.XX.XX/HPLaserJ' and I used recommended driver for this printer. When the setup was finished I sent test page to this printer and nothing happened. I switched from recommended driver to CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.8 driver and sent another test page, but nothing happened again. My default HP LaserJet 3052 pinter was turned off at this moment, but when I switched it on, both test pages were printed on this printer instead. They got Job ID, Driver Version and Description of HP LaserJet 1220, but both tests were sent from the spool to the default HP LaserJet 3052 printer, not to the printer they were intended for.
