hi

I have a lot of HP printers (mostly deskjets) and I need to sort out which are working and which are not

since they are all different types - connecting them to a computer to test them would require installing loads of different drivers

is there any way to test a printer without hooking to a computer (test page?)

There are usually diagnostic buttons you can press on a printer that will print test sheets without hooking the computer up to it.
