print-internal-page

Writing this object to a value other than
eNotPrintingAnInternalPage causes the device to attempt
to print an internally generated page.  Reading this
object provides an indication what internally generated
page is currently being printed, if any.  The actual
page is device specific.  Some devices may support
continuously printing an internally generated page.
Setting this object to eNotPrintingAnInternalPage
terminates continuously printing internally generated
pages.  An internally generated page may not be allowed
to be printed at any arbitrary time; under what
conditions it will succeed or fail is device specific.
If the device supports the requested page, but can not
start printing the page when requested, the device will
respond with <genErr>.
RECOMMENDATION:  If the device is ready (i.e. the NOT-
READY-PRINTER object does not contain any items, except
maybe being off-line) and is idle (i.e. the NOT-IDLE
object does not contain any items), this request should
always succeed.  This provides a mechanism for driver
writers to always determine if the action will succeed
or not.
Additional information:
Previous products used 
ePCLDemoPage1ConfigurationPage(300) for the
Configuration or Self Test page.  This product uses
eDeviceDemoPage1ConfigurationPage(3).  
          
LaserJet 4050 Series does not support continuously printing a demo page.  
          
When this object is set to a valid value, the status returned is <noError>
and the value returned is ePrintingAnUnknownInternalPage.  If the printer
is idle, the page will be printed immediately.  If the printer is
currently printing another job, the internal page requested will not print
until that job is finished.  
          
Setting this object to a valid value causes the
desired page to be formatted and put in the printer's
print queue.  While the page is being formatted a get on this object will
return the value ePrintingAnUnknownInternalPage.  Once the page (or pages)
is finished being formatted, this object returns a value of
eNotPrintingAnInternalPage, even though the page may not have finished
being printed.  
          
Setting this object multiple times will queue up the requests, but only
a limited number will be queued.  Once the queue is full, additional
requests will be ignored.
