It finds it but when test print. all the words are black.

What is the first "It"? A Windows computer?
Are you saying that you are sending the printer test page from the Windows machine?

Also, what do you mean by "all the words are black"??
I think the windows printer test page sends in black & white.
Are you saying the works are unreadable? solid blocks?
