Try to PDF-print something other than the test page. The test page seems
to be broken for PDF/file and PS/file (it sends an invalid printer
specification to CUPS), but printing other documents to a PDF works for
me with kdeprint 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-1. (Actually I had not even noticed the
problem with the test button until I saw your email and tried it.)
