Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
I have bought a brand new HP printer few days ago. Whenever i connect the printer to my laptop, it automatically takes in the paper and prints the test print followed by a prompting message on my screen asking to keep the printed paper in scanner for the alignment of cartridges. Along with this the printer software says that the cartridges are previously used. In case, if i don’t place the paper in the paper tray it keeps on prompting that the printer is out of paper. What should i do now?

1. Turn off the printer and wait 10 seconds. Turn it on again
2. Let the printer print the test page.
3. After the test page is printed, disconnect the USB cable connecting the printer to your computer. DO NOT turn off the printer while disconnecting the USB cable.
4. Place the test page on the scanner glass and press the SCAN button on the printer. The ON light will flash as the page is being scanned.
5. Remove the test page when the ON light is steady.
6. Finally, turn off the printer and wait another 10 seconds. Then turn it on again. No more printing test pages! Yay!
(You may now reconnect the printer to your computer via the USB cable.)
