Every time I turn on my printer, it prints out a test paper,how do I configure it to stop this? -

I have an HP Photosmart C3180 all in one Printer-Scanner-Copier. I usually cancel the printing in order to save ink and paper but?sometimes, my print jobs won t begin unless I allow the test paper to print completely, what can I do?

Please follow exactly and IN ORDER. 1. Turn off the printer and wait 10 seconds. Turn it on again 2. Let the printer print the test page. 3. After the test page is printed, disconnect the USB cable connecting the printer to your computer. DO NOT turn off the printer while disconnecting the USB cable. 4. Place the test page on the scanner glass and press the SCAN button on the printer. The ON light will flash as the page is being scanned. 5. Remove the test page when the ON light is steady. 6. Finally, turn off the printer and wait another 10 seconds. Then turn it on again. No more printing test pages! Yay! (You may now reconnect the printer to your computer via the USB cable.)

Try completing the alignment process of your printer. Actually, the thing that you are experiencing is not printing a test page rather it is the alignment page. So, you have to place the scanner glass with face down and press scan button. In this way it won t ever print again the alignment page until of course you install a new cartridge.
