Unwanted Printer Test



On bootup - Etch, stock 2.6.18 kernel - my Brothers HL-730 laser printer prints a partial test page and stops with the error light flashing.

I don't need or want this test page. The printer is almost 10 years old but it works fine on those rare occasions (like income tax preparation) when I must sin (aka boot to windows).

It always worked fine with CUPS too and probably would still if it were not locked up on an error.

I haven't been able to track down the reason this test page prints. I have looked at some of the rc2.d files at .gconf (the test print starts just as gdm is loading) without success.

Any hints as to where to look next?
