People looking up print test page hp usually want either HP's own report or a one-page color check. This page prints the color check. HP's report stays on the printer or in HP Smart. There is no driver download here.

Two different pages

HP's report, sometimes called a print quality report or a printer status report, comes from the printer panel or from HP Smart on the computer. The menu name changes by model. Look for Print Reports, Reports, or Print Quality Diagnostic. That page identifies the device. It is the one to keep if you contact HP.

The sheet above is ours. It is a color print test page with blocks, tint steps, text, and a 100 mm line. Use it when you want the same comparison you can print on any brand. Switch to Black & white if you only care about text and gray. The reading guide lives on the print test page.

A practical order on an HP printer

  • Print HP's own report from the panel or HP Smart. If nothing comes out, stop and fix the connection. The Windows steps are on the windows printer test page.
  • If HP's page prints but color looks wrong, print our sheet at actual size with Color turned on.
  • If lines step sideways, run HP's print-head alignment, then print again. Do not use a full-black page as a cleaning method.

We are not HP, and this page is not HP Support.

Common questions

Does this replace HP's nozzle check?

No. HP's nozzle check is the pattern that isolates their print head. Print that from the printer when colors drop out. Use our sheet as the before-and-after picture on plain paper.

Can I download an HP driver from here?

No. Install drivers from HP or from Windows. This site only makes a printable page.

Which paper size should an HP printer use?

The size that is in the tray. Letter is the usual default in the US. Pick the same size in the dialog and on the printer so the 100 mm line stays 100 mm.
