test.ps is PJL encapsulated PostScript document text.

A system consisting purely of packages from a single(!) Debian suite is 
what we call a Debian system.

A system involving packages not only from a a single Debian suite, but 
including just a single package from elsewhere - whether or not a Debian 
origin! - is a mess.  Possibly a nice and useful mess, but a mess.

We welcome our users of Debian to report issues with using our work - 
arguably also when using single package in a mess.  Messy systems are 
far more difficult to debug however, and package maintainers may want to 
prioritize issues reproducible on proper Debian systems (and some 
outright dismiss issues on messy systems).

Therefore make sure to always mention immediately in bugreports when 
dealing with a messy system, to help minimize time wasted on making 
false assumption e.g. about dependency chains and reproducability.

1. Please do

   cp /usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf/CUPS-PDF_noopt.ppd /usr/share/ppd/custom/test.ppd

   (test.ppd can be deleted later on).

2. Activate debug logging as described at

   
https://wiki.debian.org/DissectingandDebuggingtheCUPSPrintingSystem#The_CUPS_Error_Log

   Empty the error_log and (as root) do 'lpinfo -m'. Attach the log
   to your next mail sent here.

   (You might have to restart cups after using cupsctl.
'systemctl restart cups').

3. Check whether ppds.dat has changed.

stretch and stable are the the same distribution at present. The second
two lines are duplicates of the first two. (In year or so, stable will
be buster).

Ok.

I've never mixed stable and unstable sources, so do not know what the
consequences could be. Someone?

Cheers,
