After I print anything I get an extra test page from my HP printer.



How can I stop that?



Thanks
 
Tell us more about these test pages. When you print anything, have you

always gotten one test page too, and now you are getting an extra test page?

What is on these test pages? Blank pages? Printer's built-in test page

like you can get when a printer is first installed? Something else?

Test page? what does it actually say? Perhaps you enabled separator pages?

Is this an HP 4200 Series printer and did this just start happening on

Tuesday?



If not, then please supply more information like the printer model,

has it been doing it forever, what do you think might have happened to

the printer since the time it worked okay and when the issue started?



Is it a Windows test page or an HP printer calibration/alignment page?



If you changed printer cartridges, did you use a refilled cartridge?



Have you followed calibration instructions if they are appropriate?

Some HP all in one printers are sometimes not happy with any changes

until they are properly calibrated.



Here is one shot in the dark given the limited information:

I have a HP 1410PSC Printer, which require me to Scan the test page once

after I reinstall the cartridge.



It could be the same scenario in your case. Put your Test Page in the

scanner press the SCAN page.



Hope this help, let us know!

I hadn't used the HP 1220c printer for a while. I installed new cartridges

and found it did not work.



Then I found in Administrative tool/Services that the Print Spooler

has a description that's full of non-Roman characters.

And is Manual start, so I started it and changed to Automatic and now my

printer works.

The service still has junk for the description.

And I get an extra page after each printing.



The page is the page I'd normally get if I print a test page.



Starts with the line

HP DeskJet

then show squares of color so one can see if the colors are working.







Thanks

No I've had the printer for years and never had to do that.



But I think I wish I had to. Is that so that the printer can adjust to match

the scanner color profile. Sounds great if it really works.



Does it?



Thanks

I don't know. If I tell Windows to print a test page I get this but I'm

guessing it must be the printer that knows what to print.
