On the LaserJet P1005, which doesn't have any buttons other than the power button, you can't print a configuration page from the printer itself; you have to do it from your computer, from within the print driver. But you can print out a sort of test page from the printer, just to verify that the printer is able to print. This page is just a series of lines, but it can be helpful when troubleshooting printing problems.
To print out this test page, turn the printer on and then open and close the top cover of the printer (where the toner cartridge goes in) five times in a row. After you close the cover the last time, the sample test page will begin printing.
IT WORKS just did it with the p1005
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot
ReplyDeleteGood Sharing!! I only got a page with horizontal lines though..
ReplyDeletehahaboy- that's all it's supposed to be, it just tests that the printer can print. To print a configuration page, you'll need to do that from your computer.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was a relief
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteWorking.
ReplyDeleteThanks
thanks alot
ReplyDeleteYou have my thanks, stranger from years gone by.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information. Nicely explained. We are a printer service center and once the printer is serviced the first thing we do is take a test print and see from there how it goes. If the test print is ok that means that your printer can communicate with the computer.
