Thanks.

I have a HP 920C and use this combination:

1st switch on the device then press the power on key and keep it 
pressed, then press one time the abort key and then one time the page 
feed key and now release the power button and the printer starts to 
print the information site. There are some more key, I can give you 
them, it is always the same, switch on the printer then press and keep 
pressed the power on button and then the appropriate key combination, 
after that release the power button and the printer starts to print the 
information, the device does not have to be connected with the 
computer.
Here the possible combinations (PF: page feed button, X: the abort 
button):

4 * PF = serial number and total page count
8 * PF = simple test just printing the letter H in an endless loop
1 * PF and 1 * X = serial number, total page count and calibration data 
of the cartridges
2 * X = cartridge cleaning mechanism
2 * X and 1 * PF = extended carthridge cleaning
2 * X and 2 * PF = intensive cartridge cleaning (I don“t know the 
difference to the above)
4 * X and 1 * PF data of cartridges and level of ink
8 * X and 4 * PF test of the cartridges nozzles

The only thing I used is the 3rd test of the list above, I found this at 
a german speaking printer forum and it was said these combinations 
should work with any HP inkjet printer, at least I can confirm this for 
my 920C, I have no clue if this applies to the newer HP printers as 
well.
