Regarding banners and test page:

CUPS banners and the CUPS test page are no longer supported since CUPS >= 1.6.

The banners and the test page from cups-filters must be used instead.

The CUPS banner files in /usr/share/cups/banners/ and the CUPS testpage /usr/share/cups/data/testprint (which is also a CUPS banner file type)
are basically useless since CUPS >= 1.6 because there is no longer
a filter that can convert the CUPS banner files, see
http://www.cups.org str.php?L4120

Therefore those files will be no longer be provided in the cups RPM.

Since CUPS >= 1.6 only the banner files and testpage in the
cups-filters package work via the cups-filters PDF workflow
and the cups-filters package also provides the matching
bannertopdf filter.
