Getting a test print
How to print a test print, print cleaning page or alignment test.
Many times we need to know certain information from the printer and how many copies printed, the first time it was installed, the firmware version, serial number, etc.
Depending on the model you have, even if it is the same brand, the information you see is different but usually necessary.
We have compiled several models or series of HP printers showing step by step how you can take the test print, the cleaning test or alignment test.
