To DISABLE printing of the test page, send to the LaserWriter:

     serverdict begin 0 exitserver statusdict begin false setdostartpage


To ENABLE printing of the test page, send to the LaserWriter:

     serverdict begin 0 exitserver statusdict begin true setdostartpage


BTW, you don't need the spaces in front of the word 'serverdict'.  They're
just there for aesthetic purposes. :-)
