I am looking for a source (preferably an on-line source) for the
Latin text used by printers and designers in laying out pages. The
text begins with the words "Quousque tandem" and continues for many
pages.
If you have this, please email me a pointer (or post it here for our
world to see).

I'm not a printer, but the text you want is readily identifiable from
the two words you quote. It's Cicero's first oration against Catiline,
and it's available in most libraries.
"Quousque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra?"
"How long, O Catiline, will you abuse our patience?"
