Everytime printer is turned on it prints a test page. Any ideas?

Hello

This may be long but I think its true Ok please read.
Yes it will do and why.
It cleans the heads every time you switch on and also prints out a test page so you can see it printing ok but you are going to loss lots of ink its made to do this, so it will use your ink up fast this is how they make there money not just by selling printers, it’s the after sales of selling there inks that they make there big money.

In some supermarkets you can even buy a printer for as little as £20 and most of us will think that’s cheap and will buy it, yes there will be ink in it but very little ink and when you go to buy some new ink for it your mouth will drop it will be around £15.99 for the black and £19.99 for the colour then you will think god that is £38.98 and is more than you paid for your printer in the first place, and some inks cost lots even more than that, so then we will say oh well I got to have to buy it or the new printer will not be any use.

They make more money on selling there inks, and inks are not cheap, so in a matter of time we all would have paid lots of money just for the ink.

Also every time it cleans the heads and makes a test print, have you ever thought where the left over ink is going it’s going onto a pad to absolve the waste ink inside your printer.

Think about it, it’s got to go some where and where does the waste ink goes it is screwed down inside your printer and when that ink pad is full the printer is going to gave you an error code number or it will say (waste pad full) and your printer will stop working, and they have not done it in any easy way for us to clean the pads out, the printer got to be opened up all with the screwdriver and also have to take some wires off inside and some printers not even got screws on them so it can not be opened so most of us will just buy a new one again.
I really not know why they not just make a flip lid on the printers so we can open and clean the pads out or replace them, but saying that then of cause they would lose out.
Mind you not all printers are like this but most printers are, and we all like to own a printer.

So next time you going to buy a printer try not to be in a hurry and ask them how much the ink going to cost you when it runs out and ask them if it dos a test print out every time it starts up and ask them about if and when the pads are full of waste ink is there a flip lid on it so you can open so you can clean the pads out or replace them I not think there will be any or any pads you can buy to replace, and I not think that they can gave you that answer there isn’t any they will tell you it will have a instructions book inside that tells you all need to know.

Yes I got a printer and I have learnt my lessons on buying printers so now I do look at them as much as I can before buying and see how much ink will cost me and yes it has a pad inside mine screwed down I have not seen one yet myself with a lid on them I think this is how they all are so we got to put up with it.

What I do I never turn off my printer so it will not do a test print every time it starts up, I always lave it on standby I find its cheaper it lasts longer and if I need to clean the heads from time to time I can clean the heads manually from the tools tab witch is in the driver when I go to print my docs.
