I have an HP cp1160 printer, and after a recent session where I printed a
number of test pages and calibration pages, the printer seems to be stuck in
calibration page mode. Everytime I turn it on it prints a calibration page.
After every print it prints another calibration page. I can't find a switch
in the software that will shut this off. I went to the HP web site and
downloaded the latest driver kit and installed it, but no change in the
situation.

Any suggestions for a way to fix this problem?

Look on HP's website re hardware reset, from memory you take all the data
cables, cartridges and paper out, switch off at the mains for a few minutes then
replace everything and power up.
