HP psc 1350 all-in-one

Hey guys,

It's amazing that I have to post this question here. HP.com has the worst Help Center. I couldn't find any answer for my question anywhere there.

So here's my problem: I have a HP psc 1350 all-in-one printer. And whenever it's off, and then gets turned back on, it automatically prints some sort of test / sample page. (has a little 1, 2, 3 walk-thru on it as well as black and yellow line patterns).

Now, this isn't always such a big deal b/c, I usually just leave my printer on. Yet, I live in an area where the power seems to go Off and On a lot. Last night, we had bad thunderstorms, and the sound of the printer turning Off and On and then noisily spitting out this useless test page, continually woke me up.

I've tried endlessly to find how to turn this Option off. But it doesn't even seem to BE an option I can control.

Any help?

The printer is trying to calibrate itself. Follow the instructions on the sheet and when it is done it will not bother you again (until you replace a cartridge). Place the printed sheet on the platen and hit the scan button and it's done

Hi Kodi,

That seems to have worked. Thanks a lot!
