For Ubuntu 12.04 the testpage is in the following location:

/usr/share/cups/data/default-testpage.pdf

Also true for Ubuntu 14.04. The location seems to have changed after Rinzwind's answer. – dasup Aug 31 '15 at 14:13
same for RHEL/CentOS 7 – user1403360 Mar 14 '16 at 12:58
This path is valid in Kubuntu 22.04. I, successfully, changed the default-testpage.pdf to new one. – SaidbakR Jan 08 '23 at 19:42

These 2 are on our system:

/usr/share/system-config-printer/testpage-a4.ps
/usr/share/system-config-printer/testpage-letter.ps

Oh and looks like if you delete these the CUPS test page is used.

In more recent Ubuntu, the location seems to have changed. See @konrad ’s answer – Frédéric Grosshans Nov 15 '16 at 19:09
I agree with @FrédéricGrosshans – SaidbakR Jan 08 '23 at 20:04
