I've created a generator for the attached PDF file, which I use not to test
printers but to test my pkpgcounter software. Maybe this can help or
serve as a basis for more complex test documents.

The source is available at :

http://trac.pykota.com/browser/pkpgcounter/trunk/tests/runcolors.py

(or http://svn.pykota.com/pkpgcounter/trunk/tests/runcolors.py)
