Create task to open printer, print test page, and shutdown printer?

[useros]

thanks for your guide

how can I create a task to 'open a printer, print the test page at that specific printer and then shut down the printer' ?

I want to do this, so that the printer will be maintained and not break due to inactivity

thanks!

Not understanding this part of your question ........ "not break due to inactivity"

I think you would have to physically touch the printer to shut it down. But certain printers will go into power save mode. ( expensive ones )

if you dont print regularly, printer heads get clogged, and its moving parts are not maintained

ok, i can set the printer to go into power saving mode after a time of inactivity, what about the rest of the program? how do I write it?

Create a document in NotePad called test printer. Open it & print it from time to time and print it out.

Invest in laser printers.

or inkjets that properly preserve the ink cartridges when idle.
