Well, it doesn't appear to be a feature of any of the three HP600 printers that I could find on the web (Desk, Office and Laser). The closest thing I've seen to an actual Printer Test button on HP printers is a combined press of the power and cancel buttons when turning on. In the last century, you'd get a ripple pattern printed ad infinitum, whereas nowadays you get more interesting information. The latter usually involves working through a menu system so, for example, this 8500 requires five taps of the screen (± swipe) to get one printed. I'm talking about the printer itself, of course. Are we certain that the OP is? Many HP printer manuals only describe Test Page menus in a computer application context. And at least we now (possibly) know a piece of paper is involved, rather than a code number obtained in some manner. (I have little confidence that what we read matches up with what the OP writes.) > Not > printing a self-test page has nothing do with the printing system > or Debian. It is a entirely a function of the printer itself. Sure. Quoting HP, "If the sample page prints, the printer is not the problem." But if it doesn't, the problem could be with the printer or the operator. Cheers, David.
