If it is a multifunction device with a message screen on the control panel does it give any message like "perform Head Alignment"? Does the page that prints have a series of green ticks down the left hand side? Tony MS MVP Printing/Imaging |

Printer prints test page of assorted coloured blocks after pri
Hi Tony,
The printer is an HP Deskjet 5940, The only icon I can find in the control panel related to the printer is "Printers and Faxes" which shows HP 5900 set as default (status ready)another HP 5900 (status offline) and Microsoft Office (status ready). I have noticed green ticks on the pages, (although not for a while as I haven't let these pages print out fully, so as to save ink,) and so they may be appearing later on down the page, but aren' being given the opportunity to print.

... The printer is an HP Deskjet 5940, I have noticed green ticks on the pages, (although not for a while as I haven't let these pages print out fully, so as to save ink,) What you are seeing is the automatic alignment page. It prints once when the cartridges are changed. If you interrupt the page it will be automatically scheduled again at the end of the next print job. Load plain paper and let the page complete and it should not repeat until the next time you change print cartridges. Regards, Bob Headrick, MS MVP Printing/Imaging |
