How do I keep my HP1510 All-in-one from printing so many test pages?

How do I keep my HP1510 All-in-one from printing so many test pages? My printer is connected to my laptop, and it seems that every time I disconnect, the printer wants to print an test page when I reboot. I don't know where the option is to turn this off.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The pages are likely alignment pages.  When a new cartrdige is installed the printer will print an alignment page that must be placed on the scanner glass and the Scan button pressed to complete the alignment process.  If the alignment is not completed it will repeat when the printer is turned on or perhaps at the end of print jobs.
The alignment page will stop printing when the alignment process has completed.  See the page here for information.

  • How do I keep the "Open all tabs" button from just suddenly appearing on my taskbar?

    There is a weird glitch that keeps happening in my Firefox browser. It involves my taskbar and happens almost every time I use Firefox. Not sure when it started, seems like after I upgraded to FF 11.0 but don't hold me to that. Anyway, here is what I see, behind my open windows and apps buttons on my taskbar, I can see part of another button that is labled as "Open all tabs". Every so often, the button actually shows infront of my other taskbar buttons. I have my OS (Windows7 (64bit) set to run with best performance and in classic view if that might make any difference. I'm also noticing more frequent times of FF becoming non-responsive, when I open taskmanager and close FF, the dialog says there are 3 windows open when I only have 2 browser windows open.
    Here are other specs:
    OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bits)
    Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
    Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU E3400 @ 2.60GHz, 2603 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)

  • How to use Epson Workforce 635 all-in-one to print from iPad2?

    Have no idea how to connect iPad2 to the printer and was unable to find printer when chose Print. Wireless networking has been set up (tested w/ a PC). Pls help.

    That printer does not support AirPrint, so you cannot print natively from the iPad.  You'll have to use a third party app like print n share or Printopia.  They are in the app store.

  • HP OfficeJet J4580 All-in-one not printing the top of page

    My HP OfficeJet J4580 has had many problems in the past, but they always have seemed to work themselves out. Currently the issue is that it cuts off the entire top edge of my paper.
    I am a college student and it's mandatory that my format and margins are correct, but the printer is cutting off the header completely and most of the top margin. I have tried everything in my power before posting for help. I have reset the printer, restarted the printer, re-installed the printer, tried to do an alignment sheet, etc. but nothing seems to work. I'm at a loss here and would just like to be able to print things without having to go out and buy a new printer because this printer isn't that old.

    @syddie101 I was looking at this printer spec online, and I saw the margin specification. Take a look at this page (in the print margin section). 3mm top margin seems to be quite small for many document headers, but just to check, is your top margin less than 3mm?
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01430100&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
    If your document top margin is not less than 3mm, are you printing double-sided?
    Though I work for HP, I'm speaking for myself and not HP. I'm just trying to help with my limited knowledge

  • How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
    The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
    Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
    Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
    Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
    Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
    We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
    Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
    As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."

  • I was syncing everything to itunes and I tried to do my contacts, not knowing quite how. I ended up erasing all of them from my phone without any of them syncing to my computer or itunes. Is there any way I can get them back? I really need them all.

    I was syncing everything to itunes and I tried to do my contacts, not knowing quite how. I ended up erasing all of them from my phone without any of them syncing to my computer or itunes. Is there any way I can get them back? I really need them all.

    There are lots of ideas floating on the web for this particular issue - all of which I tried. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my USB cable. I thought the cable was fine as it would charge my phone and play but the data transfer pin was bent. I replaced the cable and it fixed the problem. Worth a shot as it is an easy fix!

  • HT1848 How do I tranfers playlist and all my music from my IPOD Touch to my pc?

    How do I tranfer playlist and all my music from my Ipod Touch to my pc?

    Simply select only the Music that you want to sync to the iPad in iTunes. I assume that you auto sync.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes if it does not start on its own. Assuming that you do auto sync, let the process complete. Click on your iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Music Tab in the iTunes window on the right side. Click on all of the albums, playlist, artists, - whatever - that you want to sync to the iPad, uncheck the music that you do not want to sync, make sure that the Sync Music heading is selected - and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

  • HP1510 All in one - Driver installation fails

    I am trying to install HP1510 all in one onto a new windows 7 machine. Using the HP provided software the installaion fails and it seems that the computer cannot detect the printer (although the machine does detect the printer and yellow triangle is seen on hp1510 in the device manager).
    I tried the HP Printer install wizard which recognizes my printer and the USB connection and after diagnosis, says that all relevant software are installed but basic driver is either not installed or configured properly and  wants me to manually update the driver.
    If I try to manually update the driver, I see driver is installed and on trying to use it get the  "Unable to find core drive package that is required by this driver package".
    HP Print andScan doctor doesn't recognze the printer at all.
    PS: I have used the latest driver software downloaded from HP website and connected the printer only when requested. This printer corects works with my other PC so I feel that harware is OK and it is a system issue. I have also run windows update to make sure my PC is updated.

  • How do I uninstall my Canon all-in-one printer software?

    How do I uninstall my Canon all-in-one printer software? I followed the online HELP instructions of moving the apps to TRASH. But I still had lots of files, and one app, that I could not get rid of.

    Huh! How simple can it be?
    Thank you, very much. I still have a few Canon files and one app remaining. I'll send them to the trash. But, the really annoying scanner icon on the bar at the top of the screen is gone.
    Thanks, again.

  • How can i keep mine and my husbands contacts from combining when syncing phone

    How can i keep mine and my husbands contacts from combining when syncing our phones

    Don't sync each iPhone with the same supported address book app on the shared computer.
    There are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air such as with a free iCloud account, with a Yahoo account, Gmail account, and Hotmail account.
    Do that instead with different accounts for each of you and no longer sync contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer.
