I used to have one of these (it was later donated to Microsoft's test lab),
but I don't remember. It's usually something like holding down the On Line
or Form Feed button while turning on the power. It can't hurt to experiment;
you're not going to waste any supplies if it doesn't work.


What about going to the printer driver and use the Print Test Page
function?


I think that prints the Microsoft page, not the one that exercises all
the printer's functions.
