Hi,

this is because you have not completed the alignment yet

> unplug the usb cable from the printer
> turn off the printer and turn it on
> let it print the test page
> after that keep the test page facing down on the scanner glass and press the scan button on the printer
> you will see the light on the printer flashing
> wait for a minute
> then plug the usb cable back to the printer
> thats it!!!
> check whether you have the same problem

thanks and regards

Everytime I turn my HP PhotosmartC3180 on, it prints a test page.

I think probably it's a print alignment page, if you read the page it will probably give you instructions to place the page on to the scanner at the top and press a button for it to scan and automatically set the alignment. Do so and it should fix it :)

MY test page always prints

Hi,

I belive that after replacing the INk cartridges, you are experiancing this problem. The Alignment test sheet always prints everytime you turn on the printer, if u haven't completed the Alignment process.

To complete the Alignment process,
>>Once the printer finished printing the Alignmnet test sheet.
>> Place the Test sheet staright on the scanner glass facing down towards right hand corner.
>>Press the scan button(color), the Power ON light will start flashing, wait until it stops flashing.
>>Alignmnet process completed.


Thank You
