Thanks. Didn't really need the whole journal, was most interested in the 2 
tests in question. I reviewed these tests, and I'm not seeing that they 
even use cups. Tried to verify that with the author, but he was vague, 
saying "most do not use cups".

Test 3 output indicates it is just testing the content of stdout from the 
foomatic call:

520|4 3 25504 1 10|Output written to stdout did not contain
"\%\%Page:\s*1\s+1.*\%\%BeginFeature:\s*\*Option4\s+Choice\d.*gsave.*\%\%Page:\s

:\s*\*Option4\s+Choice\d.*gsave"
220|4 3 1 23:15:55|FAIL

Test 11 is not as clear, but looking at the code I don't see any call to 
"test_cups_job"

This would tend to make me think that cups isn't the issue at all, but 
that somehow the foomatic-rip behavior in your build has changed.
