A printer test page generally prints some text, some graphics, and some information about the printer such as its resolution, or amount of memory installed...it depends on the type of printer to verify correct information (how much memory is it supposed to have compared to the number it prints saying that it currently holds?)

When you print a test page on the printer the printer prints some printer code and extra blank printer pages What is the possible cause?
This symptom is typical of a computer using an incorrect or damaged software driver. Initiate a test print directly from the printer while disconnected from PC. Usually by holding the power button down a few extra seconds as you turn it on. If the test page is good by this method I suggest you remove all printers listed in the windows control panel. Then download the most resent software drivers for your printer from the manufacture and install them as instructed by the manufacture before reconnecting the printer to the PC.

Your computer will choose a default printer if you do not choose one for it. Check that the printer info was installed properly and that you can print a test page using right click, properties on the printer icon of choice. If you can manually print a test page then both printers were installed properly. If one does not print then you know who the culprit is. You will have to maunally choose or change the default printer depending on which one you want to print to. Make sure the printer driver is installed on both computers.
