HP PSC 1510 - Can't Stop The Test Page From Printing

Everytime I power on the printer, it shoots out a test page, wasting
valuable ink (and paper).

I looked through all the printer properties and preferences and
couldn't find anything on this, I also searched around HP's support
pages and couldn't find anything.

Surely there's a way to disable this feature?

I'm running XP..


Thanks,

The way to disable the feature is to let it complete. The page printing is
the alignment page which prints when a new cartridge is installed. Once the
page prints you need to load it in the scanner and press the scan button.
This will complete the alignment and the page will not print again until a
cartridge is replaced. See

you can skip to step #3 in the description.

Thanks, I looks like I had never properly completed the alignment and
that was the printer's way of prompting me.

However I've now completed the process (three times) and it STILL spits
out a test page every time I power up.

Any other ideas?

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I had to replace my monitor and I put in a new ink cartridge. I never buy color since I have no use for it. I've had my same HP Deskjet 1056 all in one printer for 3 to 4 years and I've never had this issue. I've done the copy and scan the alignment page. I have Windows 10, although the monitor replacement is a Gateway I stead of another LG. Is this due to the new monitor, or is it the printer? Am I doing something wrong?
