Hello.
Every time I turn my printer on it does a test page. Wasting lots of ink :-( ... Any ideas how to stop this? Thank, John

Jump to PostIs this a new development (a fault), or something it's always done (a feature)?
Does it do this all by itself (isolated from network/PC etc), or only when you start windows (for example)
Jump to PostAh, and I bet it isn't a "manufacturer recommended" one either, but some cheaper compatible clone.
Complain to whoever sold you the cartridge for
- a workaround
- something with better compatibility
- your money back

It will do it without being connected to the computer. This never happen till I added a new B/W ink cartridge last week.

I think you have to check it your cartridge for this problem.Or you have to complain to that company of printer.

You should definitely be hassling them for the answer.
