Computer Solution

I’ve gotten several e-mails in the past few days asking about how to print a test page. Well, I have to be honest with you for a second. I wasn’t really sure how to do it either and while I was researching, it just about bit me on the nose. I was able to find the answer though, so here you go!

It’s quite simple! Go to Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware and choose Printers and Faxes. Once you’re there, you’ll see all of the printers you have installed on your computer. More than likely, you’ll only have one or two, but click on the one you want to test so that it’s 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, like this: 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 or obviously, nothing will happen. That was pretty easy, wasn’t it? Now, you can test your printer whenever you feel the need. Note: 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. Happy testing!
