cscript prnqctl.vbs -e [-s ServerName] -p PrinterName [-u UserName -w Password]
In this case, you need to know how to schedule the test print via Task Scheduler. Here are the critical pieces of info.
Action: Start a program
Program/script: cscript
Add arguments: %WINDIR%\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnqctl.vbs -e -p "My Printer Name"
Set the task to run however often you'd like and under whatever condition you prefer. Those may vary based on whether your PC is set to sleep/hibernate and other factors.
If at first you don't succeed, fear not. Google is your friend. Now that you know "prnqctl.vbs" exists, the finish line is within sight.

FWIW--Printer is fine March 20, 2017 so it must be working. Just replaced the cartridges for the second time. This still seems like a very good move for those of us needing a cheap (read that as "ink jet") printer for very low volume purposes.
We use the scanner on occasion too, but a cell phone normally works fine for scanning. :)
I use this to run a print head document once a week using Task Scheduler
set Program/ script = "Program Files (x86)\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"
set add additional argument = /p "D:\work\My Documents\Current Stuff\printheadcleaner.docx"
setup time etc in task scheduler as for any task.
This will briefly open a window and the send printheadcleaner.docx to the default printer without any intervention from user.
