[SOLVED] Scheduling a repeating print job

Not sure if this is right forum for this, so mods, feel free to move it as needed.

I have recently bought a new inkjet printer.

My printing habits involve periods of intense printing, followed by long periods of no printing.  Well, sitting around and doing nothing is bad for an inkjet printer.  So, I was thinking it would be a good idea to "schedule" a print job.  Something that prints 2 color pages say, once a week.

What's the easiest way to do this?

CUPS has command line options:  https://www.cups.org/doc/options.html and the test page is just a file: /usr/share/cups/data/testprint
