Paul, which printer are you using? Does it actually support the
functionality you are requesting? The "Print Self Test Page" is intended
for printers which have a built in self test page (usually to discover
clogged nozzles) and the driver is supposed to send a special code
sequence to the printer to make the printer print this test page (not
send a test page from the computer to the printer).  "Clean Heads" is
supposed to tell the printer to run its internal cleaning cycle.

Unfortunately, the buttons sometimes appear in the Properties dialog of
system-config-printer if the printer does not have the mentioned
functionality, for example with the virtual "PDF" printer which gets
created when installing the cups-pdf package (there are really no print
heads to clean).

Or are you developing printer maintenance support for your Kodak driver?

** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
