Test Page
I've gotten several
e-mails just in the past few days from you all wanting to know how to
print a test page. Well, I have to be honest with you for a second. I
wasn't really sure how you did this either and while I was researching
it, it just about bit me on the nose and I still almost missed it. Good
thing I was able to find the answer though, so here it is!
It's quite simple.
Go to Start, Control Panel,
Printers and Other Hardware and choose Printers and Faxes.
Once there, you will see all of the printers you have installed on your
computer. You more than likely will only have one or two, but click on
the one you want to test so it is highlighted. Then right click and choose
Properties.
The Properties box
for your printer will then pop up. Under the General
tab, look toward the bottom of the box and you'll see a Print
Test Page button. Click on that and your printer will automatically
print a page out for you. Don't forget to turn your printer on before
you start this though or obviously, nothing will happen.
That was pretty easy,
wasn't it? Now you can test your printer whenever you feel the need.
Note: Do keep in mind that all printers are different, but every
printer should have this feature offered within its program. If you have
trouble finding it, refer to your printer's manual.
