How to Print a Test Page

On Windows 11, open Settings, Bluetooth & devices, Printers & scanners, choose the printer, then Printer properties and Print Test Page. On a Mac, use Print Center, then Printer, Print Test Page. To test quality rather than the connection, print a test pattern from this site or the printer’s own quality report.

What a system test page proves

The driver is installed and the computer can reach the printer. Microsoft describes the Windows test page as a way to confirm that Windows can communicate with the printer.

What it does not prove

Print quality. It has little color and almost no solid areas, so clogs, banding and misalignment slip through. Use a quality test page for that.

Note: Brother has no separate 'nozzle check'; its Print Quality Check sheet (Check the Print Quality) contains the nozzle check pattern, so nozzleCheck maps to the same procedure. No Test Print exists on these inkjets; testPage maps to Print Reports (Brother's Reports page lists User Settings, Network Configuration, WLAN Report, fax reports: https://support.brother.com/g/s/id/htmldoc/mfc/cv_mfc1010dw/use/html/GUID-E0E33870-A13E-4BA6-8A91-1B8205912BC0_1.html). Brother warns: do not touch the print head; cleaning uses ink and cleaning too often wastes ink.

Which test page should I use?

  • Nothing prints from the computer: print the printer’s own status page first. If it prints, the printer works and the problem is the connection or driver.
  • Prints, but looks wrong: print a quality pattern such as the color test page or your printer’s print quality report.
  • Prints the wrong size or off-center: use the print size checker.
  • White lines or gaps: run the printer’s nozzle check and read it with our nozzle check reader.

Questions people ask

How do I print a test page on Windows 11?

Open Settings, go to Bluetooth & devices, then Printers & scanners. Choose your printer, open Printer properties, and select Print Test Page on the General tab.

How do I print a test page on a Mac?

Open Print Center (it is in Applications, Utilities, and opens when you print), select your printer, then choose Printer, Print Test Page from the menu bar. System Settings itself has no test page button.

How do I print a configuration page?

A configuration or status page is printed by the printer itself, from its menu or a button combination. It lists settings, network details and supply levels. The model list on this page shows how for HP, Epson, Canon and Brother printers.

How do I print a test page on a Chromebook?

ChromeOS does not have a separate test page button. Open a test page in Chrome, such as the one on our home page, and print it with Ctrl + P. That tests the same path your documents take.
