Pick a test page

The printer test page prints color bars, gray steps, fine lines and text on one sheet, so streaks, faded colors and misalignment show at a glance. For color problems, the color printer test page fills more of the page with each ink, and the black and white printer test page saves color ink on mono and laser printers. Every page is also available as a printer test page pdf in US Letter and A4.

The nozzle check prints fine line patterns for each ink so blocked nozzles show as gaps, and the printer alignment page shows when the print head is out of line. Receipt and label printers have their own sheets on the thermal printer test page and label printer test page.

Your printer's own test page

Most printers can print a built-in test or configuration page from a button or menu. Find the steps for your model on the hp printer test page, epson printer test page, canon printer test page and brother printer test page pages. Laser and label printers are covered too: the samsung printer test page, the lexmark printer configuration page, the xerox printer test page and the zebra printer test page. If you would rather use the printer's own menus, the guide on how to print a test page covers Windows, Mac and phones.

3D printer test prints and scanner checks

The 3d printer test print page makes calibration models you can download, the 3d printer calibration page works out e-steps and flow, and the scanner test and barcode scanner test check scanners of both kinds.

When printing fails

A printer that shows as offline needs the printer offline fixes. If jobs vanish or nothing comes out, work through printer not printing, and if paper feeds through empty, see printer printing blank pages.
