The user manual of this printer only mentions clicking a button in the Windows printer. I remember having had trouble of installing the windows printer driver under WinXP.Īnyway, perhaps there still is a way to get a test print without printer driver, just to verify that the problem is in the printer and not in the linux software. Press and hold button X while turning power on, something like that.

The user manual of this printer only mentions clicking a button in the Windows printer driver, which I don't use because of linux. Press and hold button X while turning power on, something like that. Most other printers had a special startup sequence. Could that mean that the printer is actually broken?Īll other printers I've used in the past many years all had a way of printing a test sheet autonomously. I noticed a little smoke coming out of the paper output opening before the first sheet after several weeks came out. It does feed a sheet of paper, but nothing is printed. Click on the Advanced tab and then choose the New Driver button, the Add Printer Driver Wizard appears. Now one of the printers (two are hooked up) pretty much prints as before, but not the 1020. Right mouse click the HP LaserJet 1020 driver entry in the Printers folder and then choose Properties. For several weeks I could not print, until I figured out how the udev rules file changed format with the new udev version, and so on. All worked great until I upgraded lots of packages on the debian installation. My problem is that I run the printer under linux with CUPS, hpijs, hplip.

Is it possible to make the printer print a test print or diagnostics page by pressing buttons? I.e., all by itself without a printer driver application on the PC?
