    HP laserjet 1020 test page

    I have a client who has a HP laserjet 1020 that keeps printing out pages of the test page. Even turning off the printer did not work. In addition, removing the printer and reinstalling did not work as well. What could be the cause of the this problem? A virus?

    you mean the internal test page of the printer? or the windows test page?
    Don't know if that model has buttons (I know 1022 has) but maybe a stuck button if it's the internal test page?

    I would more suspect spyware but both are likely .
    Download and use Malwarebytes+Spybot since they are both free.
    Update and scan.
    By the way what windows version?
    What antivirus are they using?
    Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
    AMD FX 8350 4ghz OCTO-Core
    Windows 8.1 PRO 64
    Adata 256 gig SSD
    Kingston HyperX 1600 16 Gigs
    Sapphire R9 280 2gig
    Enermax Liberty Modular 620

    Stop the printer spool service, manually clear the spool folder system32\spool\printers then reboot.
