    How to make a Test Page

    How to make a test page on HP Deskjet 3-in-1 printer when the  wording PRINT TEST PAGE won't show up on the screen?

    Thanks in advance for helping me.

    Do you do this?

    Printing A Windows Test Page Using Windows 10

        In the Search box on the task bar, type Devices and Printers.
        Touch or click Devices and Printers (Control panel).
        Touch and hold or right-click your printer.
        Touch or click Printer Properties. ...
        Under the General tab, Touch or click Print Test Page

    That should also work in windows 8, I think...  :)

      Many thanks.

      Your method used to work well until now when I cannot access the wording PRINT TEST PAGE after I go to Properties.


      Shifting the window upwards on the screen refuses to reveal the missing test page wording.

      Have been trying to attach a figure which makes my problem clearer, but, if I may ask, how to send you an attachment?

      Regards.

      Guzeppi,
      Do you have administrator level? .Is this your computer?
      Can you print anything on the default printer?
      Even in your browser you can print an image. The image below can be opened by tour browser and can print it. This works regardless of which windows you have.

        Yes, I can print an image, as I am the sole administrator of my computer.

        My problem is that the wording PRINT A TEST PAGE does not appear on the PROPERTIES page after I hit SEE WHAT's PRINTING.

        Can you help again, please, if I am not testing your patience unduly?

        Grateful.

        From Devices and Printers, you select "See What's Printing". From the window that appears, you then select Printer->Printer Properties and should see a dialog like the one in my screenshot. There should be a "Print Test Page" option on the "General" tab.

        I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
