test page

[Breezy55]

Is there a way to stop printing a test page every time i use my printer? it wastes a lot of my ink....

May able to provide accurate step if we able to know what printer you but still. In Windows, Open Devices and Printers (search in Start menu), right-click your HP printer, select Printer Properties. Scan tabs like General, Advanced, or Ports for "Print test page" or "Startup test" options, uncheck and apply

I have a MB pro laptop and printer is a 4100e Desk Jet. Its telling me to go to properties, but how do i get there?

Since I don't have MB personally so I did some research and you should Click Apple logo > System Settings > Printers & Scanners (scroll down sidebar if needed). Click your HP DeskJet 4100e > Options & Supplies button. Check all tabs for test page/alignment settings and disable them.

Or: Open any app > File > Print > select 4100e > Show Details > Printer Features dropdown for more options. That's the "properties" path on Mac.
