According to whom, Brian? (Apart from you, obviously :) ). According to
the Internet (so it _must_ be true) it stands for Common Unix Printing
System. Are they, and the Gutenprint driver which prints that on its
test pages, just making sh*t up then? (To be fair I don't know which
component creates the test page, but I do know, because I am sitting
here with one about an inch away from my left hand, that when you ask
CUPS to print a test page, it prints that on the test page.)

driver install...)
