The self test/device configuration page for a LaserJet P1606 (or P1606dn) includes a lot of information about the printer.  You can see the printers total page count, network settings, available memory, and serial number.

To print the self test/configuration page, hold down the Go button (the one with the green icon on it) for about five or six seconds, until the light starts blinking, then let go.  The configuration page will print out.

If you let go of the button too early, a demo page will print out instead of the configuration page.
