HP Deskjet 5650

The configuration/self-test page that you can print from a Deskjet 5650 is very short.  It doesn't have nearly as much information as configuration pages on other printers, but it will show the printer's serial number and total page count.

To print the configuration/self-test page:

- Hold down the Power button (next to the printer's name, on the right).
- Press the Resume button (on the left side of the printer; it has a picture of a sheet of paper with a down arrow on it) four times.
- Release the Power button.

Once you let go of the Power button, the green light on the right side of the printer will flash, and the configuration page will print out.

These same steps will work for many other Deskjet models, including the 6520 and 6540.

  3. As long as I'm contributing, this also worked for a Deskjet 6988.

  4. Good to know! I thought the process for a 6988 was different -- just holding down the Print Cancel button, but I haven't seen one of those in a while.
