Yes, It did it with the computer off, and unplugged from the printer.
I have gone through the scan the alignment page for the third time now, and it appears to have finally decided to work as it should.

I have a psc 1510. how do i get it to not print a test page every time i turn it on?

I would like the PSC 1510 to NOT print up a test page automatically every time I turn the printer on. I don't do a great deal of printing, so I don't want to waste paper by having an extra page printed up evry time I want to just print up a couple of pages. Is there a way to disable this test page at startup?
I am using the PSC 1510 on a Mac, OS X 10.6.8.

How to stop a printer from printing a test page every time we turn it on

We have an HP Photosmart C3180 All-In-One. We are using it with an I-Mac. For some reason, whenever we turn the printer on now, it runs a black-and-white test. This has never happened before. How do we get it to stop?

Hi,
Please check this (same series of your printer):

How can I stop my psc 1310 from printing a test sheet every time I turn it on?

Ever since I changed the cartridge in my all-in-one, it prints the test sheet whenever I turn it on. I tried unplugging it and reinstalling the software, but it still keeps on wasting paper and ink.

NO! HOW DO YOU STOP IT FROM WASTING OUR INK WIHOUT ALINGING.
MY PRINTING WORKS ABSOLUTELY FINE AND DOES NOT NEED ANY ALIGNMENT BUT EVERY **bleep**ING TIME IT PRINTS AN ALIGNMENT PAGE BEFORE I CAN SKIP IT AND PRINT MY OWN STUFF\
HOW DO I STOP IT FROM WASTING MY GOD **bleep** INK BEFORE I DECLARE A FINANCIAL WAR AGAINST HP.

Hp 1350 all-in-one not printing-except test page

I cannot get my printer to print. Things show up in the que but don't print. I checked all of the cables...unplugged, rebooted, etc., etc. nothing seems to work. It constantly prints out "test page" every time I turn it on. I changed the ink awhile ago. Help.

I too am having the same problem with a psc 1355. The Check paper light on the printer is not on but every piece of software I try to print from says that the printer is out of paper. I am using Windows Vista.

Whenever my printer (C3180) is turned on it automatically prints a test page. How do you stop this?

The printer will print a test page every time I turn it on. Is there any way to stop this from happening? Why is it doing this?

The page is an alignment page, it will print until the alignment completes properly. See here for information on how to complete the alignment.

Hp deskjet aio auto scans every time it's turned on

deskjet 340 aio every time I turn it on (if it's connected to my computer {windows xp pro}), it automatically opens scan window, scans (usually a blank page cuz nothings in the scanner) and opens a photo software program. How do I change these settings? It takes a long time and I can't do anything until it all stops loading and scanning etc. Frustrating if all I want to do is print out a page!

Hi Len77,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Photosmart c3180 prints out a test sheet every time it's turned on.
Please take a look at this guide. An Alignment Page Prints Every Time that the All-in-One is Turned On or Off or a Print Job is Starte....
Hope to hear back, and have a great day!

Try deleting the printer, deleting the job queue and reinstalling the printer again.

Keep hp 6700 in good shape: automatic print quality diagnostic page every week?

Hi all,
I've recently bought the HP Officejet 6700 Premium, and I'm concerned about keeping it in good condition, since I had to replace my previous canon printer because of a stuck printhead (the photo black one, I didn't used it for a long time).
Since I don't print much (but I'm using the ADF scanner a lot), and other family members prints sporadically, most of the time in black and white, I would like to setup an the printer to automatically print a diagnostic page every week to make sure everything is alright.
Using eprint, IFTTT and google calendar I could automatically send a file to print (I already set up the printer to wake up a few minutes before the calendar event) with black and color bars (someone suggest to print the google homepage since it has many colors but uses little ink).
Is there any chance I can directly print the print quality diagnostic page (so I can fully diagnose a problem if it occurs)?
Thanks for the attention
Cheers from Italy!

Hey,
To clarify for you and answer your new questions on the printers self maintenance.
The maintenance cycle occurs randomly. It will occur after any power up, after print jobs(not every one) and any time it "think's" printhead health is poor. As mentioned above the printer to does have to be powered on for this to occur.
You can if you'd like still print off the odd test page just to check, once a month would be adaquet.
If you want to be saving power and are turning it off, then you would want it to be at least powering on and running the automated service that occurs weekly.
I hope this clarifies everything for you. Thanks for your posts.

To check ink levels I am told to print self test. page from cpu or printer.

There is no way to print a test page on my" psc 2410 all in one" connected to a HP cpu with Win 7, 64 bit. Is there a workaround/

The page here shows how to print a self-test report from the front panel, but it does not appear to have ink level information. I have not used a PSC 2410 for years, but the following may give you what you need: press the # and * buttons together on the printer. The screen will say "Enter special key combination". Press 1 2 3. This should bring up a service menu. Use the right arrow button repeatedly to bring up a "Special Reports" screen, OK, then right arrow to select "Cartridges" or some similar, then press OK. A page will print with ink level information shown about the middle of the page.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page. I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else.
Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer. After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.
My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router). All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
I have run virus scans and malware scans. Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop. What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer. ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium. Now I will probably get hacked!
I am at my wits end. And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up. I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed. Also this is a time consumer.
This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
Help?
Addendum: I can scan using HP Printer Assistance. I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.

Re: Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: cleans printheads every time it's turned on

I own two of these printers and they both have been cleaning printheads every time it's turned on. My old HP officejet never had these problems.
The real problem is HP s credibility . They promoted that these printers used half the ink as any other printer. Even consumerreports showed 1/2 the cost per page.
As we all know that is pure BS notwithstanding the cleaning printheads issues.
Maybe I will let Costco know that I and all owners are unhappy and see if they will refund. They still sell them .
I will repost if I have any success.

If the printer is a year or couple yrs old, maybe the printheads need to be replaced? I once thought they would last forever, and that's really not the case with them, nor anything else really. Hope costco has some good news for you

How can I print the test page with the Arabic type from the command line

Hi,
I have been trying to make the tool for printing the test page from the command line on the Arabic OS. I used "rundll32 printui dll printuientry" with "/k /n" options. My tool is to print the test page in all OS when pushing the
button.
Normally, in the Arabic Windows, the test page is printed with RTL type when printing the test page in the "Devices and Printers". But in my tool, the test page is printed with LTR type. I'm confused because of this result.
Is it possilbe to print the test page with RTL type when using the "rundll32 printui dll printuientry"? If it is possible, could anyone give me the hint or information for resolving?
Please check for me.

HP4500 printer went off line. I can print the test page but nothing from the IMAS

Network down, re-set - now can't get the printer to function. HP4500 wireless. Was able to print a test page but when I try to print from the computer I get the "printer off-line" message. I don't know how to fix this.

Try removing the printer from the printer list, then re-add it.
Are you sure you have the latest drivers?
