    Setting windows xp scheduler to print test pages

    Dear Jackson, I tried these searches, but cannot find any alternative spooler. I looked at the link you sent, but the directories and files mentioned do not appear on my computer.

    CcMmYK printer test page ?

    Hi, I have an Epson artisan 50, which is fitted with a continuous ink system. It uses the CcMmYK color separation system. As I print infrequently (but lots when I do), I wish to print at least one page each day which uses ALL inks to keep everything in good order. I have been looking for a...
