How to Print a Windows Printer Test Page

Check whether Windows and the printer can communicate without involving another application.

Quick Answer

Open Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners, select the printer, and choose Print test page.

Step by Step

  1. Check power, cables, wireless connection, and any physical switches or indicators first.
  2. Open Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners, select the printer, and choose Print test page.
  3. Test the device again before making additional changes.
  4. If the problem remains, check Windows Settings and Device Manager, then use the manufacturer's official support information for the exact model.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Change one thing at a time so you know which action fixed or caused the problem.
  • Avoid downloading drivers or device utilities from unofficial driver-download websites.
