    Windows printer test page


    Hi Knapier, welcome to Ten Forums!

    If you are talking about Windows printer test page, you could try an alternative one from Print a Test Page. Your printer may also come with some cleaning diagnostic utilities which may include some test pages too.

    A Windows test page sole purpose is to list all information directly related to how Windows communicates with your printer. This means driver listings, the printer model and available printing styles. It is not used for testing the alignment and color etc... This is what the printer utilities are for.

    Error - Printing on Network printer

    We have 4 printers on our Windows print server. The server was migrated from win2k3 to 2k8 on friday. 3/4 printers are working great, the other is having issues. When trying to print a test page to it, it gets a job status of Error - Printing.

    When sending a small word document to it, it sends it to the printer, the queue is empty but nothing prints. If I goto the printer itself, it doesnt show any errors and I can print things such as information sheets and diagnostic files just fine.

    All four printers are the same model, all 4 have a static IP. I can ping the printer successfully. I've tried printing from both an XP machine and the print server itself. I tried removing and adding the printer on the print server. And lastly, uunplugged the printer for 30 seconds, plugged it back in.

    Any ideas?

    printer printing test page but nothing else

    Printer Installed with USB but will not print anything including test page

    I have an old HP PSC 2210 printer that is installed in Windows 10. I see it in devices and printers. When I attempt to print anything, including a test page, I get an error. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting drivers and installing updated
    drivers. Running the printer trouble shooter says there are no problems. Running the HP trouble shooter says there are no problems. Every print job and scan attempt gets an error message. Interestingly, when I first updated to Windows 10 it worked for a short
    time but now nothing. My other printers I use through the network print fine. Any suggestions are welcome.
