When you use the web interface to "Print Test Page" using IE you get new
testpage every 5 seconds.
The reason is that the page header has following line
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="5;/admin/?OP=redirect&URL=/printers/hp5n">
The CONTENT part should be in form "5;URL=..." to work. Firefox and some
other web browsers allow relaxed syntax. IE doesn't. The end result is
that user is sent to the the same webpage again after 5 seconds. As a side
effect the printer test page is printed every 5 seconds until user closes
the browser of types in a new address.
Fixing the CONTENT part to include the URL= makes all browsers happy. Here
is a fixed version of the above.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="5;URL=/admin/?OP=redirect&URL=/printers/hp5n">
