If you contact HP support for help, you may be asked to
print the test page.
There are two ways to print the test page: from the
control panel of the printer, and from the software. If you
have the HP Photosmart software installed, you can print
the test page from the software. If you need to confirm
the connection between the printer and your computer,
print a test page from the software.
This section describes how to print the test page from
the printer's control panel. See the electronic Help for
instructions on printing the test page from the software.
To print a test page
1. Make sure the printer is turned on.
2. Load paper in the input tray. Use plain paper or index
cards to conserve photo paper.
3. Hold down the OK button and press the On button
2 times to print a test page.
To check the estimated ink level on the printed test page,
look at the three color bars about halfway down the
page, between the "E" (empty) and "F" (full). Estimate
how full the print cartridge is by determining what
percentage of the brightly-colored bars is shown
between "E" and "F."
