Real simple...What button or series of buttons do I need to press to get the "continuous self test" option to stop? Currently the only way I can stop it is to shut the printer off and clear all the paper jammed inside, which is a pain. I'm sure it's very easy, but I think I've tried just about every combo of buttons to get it to stop without joy. Nothing of use on HP's site on this either!

Thanks!
 
as i recall ya just hit the online button the print will not stop until all the self test pages are out of the buffer however the selftest message will start to flash when it is terminated just give it a couple of pages to flush the buffer
 
Yup that did it. The fact that it kept cranking out pages after I hit the online button made me think there was it was something else. Thanks!
