So, every single time I turn on my HP psc 1300, it prints a test page. I find it very annoying, and I'd hate to leave it on all the time.
Does anyone know of a way to disable this 'feature'?

Bump. Still haven't figured out a way to disable this 'feature'.

Humm. There is no "bios" on this kind of printer, so should not had this "feature". Some HP printers, when a certain button is pressed for a few secons, makes a print test.
See HP Photosmart Series Printers - How To Print Internal Tests�
So it can be a "short-cut" in the control panel of the printer, or a bad configuration of the driver - System may send some printer code that is understod as a "print test" insted a "hello".
Made myself clear? I don't speak english...

Actually the printer does have an internal processor with its own start up system, so in a way it does have a "BIOS." But it should also have a menu system to allow you to configure it from the printer itself so you can turn off the test page thing. Out of curiosity, does the test page give printer status like number of pages printed and toner level?

It shows the steps to install ink, and what looks like an ink test. It'll print this if it's turned on with the computer off, and it'll do it if the computer is on when I turn it on as well. It's really a pain, as it just wastes ink.

Have you tried running the HP Director software and checking the available settings?

I think you should try to reset phisically the printer. These printers got internal counters and feautures than only technical assistance know (only "they" know"). This could be a bug, malfuncion or something stored inside (maybe in a flash memory) that keep saying "print page #?". But if you turn the logic board to default factory settings this should vanish (like we do in cell phones...)
