Same here (cups to a PS printer via SMB). Cups test page works, and claims
that the imageable area is 260x367mm, which is plainly ridiculous (this is
an A4 printer), although I do now know where those numbers come from.

Printing the A4 test page results in the printer spinning up (so something
is sent there), but no print is produced in the end.
