HOW TO: Stop Your HP Printer to Print the Test Page Every Time


If you've had a HP printer you know whenever you replace your current empty cartridge with a brand new one, either black or color, your printer always prints a sample test page. And sometimes your printer might print this page every time when you turn on your printer. Now when I first ran into this problem I couldn't really find a solution to this rather a mere bypass. Sites recommended me to just press the red X which canceled the current page(s) being printed. But the disadvantages are a waste of ink, paper, and most importantly money. Your literally printing things that you have no control of and wasting money.

The Solution?   

It's actually really simple, no third-party application or programs will be needed and you could accomplish this on both Mac and PC's. The first thing you want to do is turn on your printer and allow your printer to print just one page of the test pages. Afterwards, just scan your document, that's right just scan it. If you're on PC than well you should know how to scan and if you're on Mac click here to read "HOW TO: Scan on Mac" and this really should resolve your problem. 

Afterwards you shouldn't have a single sample page print during the startup of your printer.
