A system for performing an automated factory install peripheral test process. The system is configured so that peripherals (e.g., printers) to be tested are coupled to a hub (such as a USB hub) that is then coupled to a download test system. The download test system is coupled to the network to allow for factory install download testing. The peripherals to be tested are all plugged in to a controllable power source (such as a controllable power strip). This power source is coupled to the download test system via, e.g., a USB connection, thus allowing commands to be sent to the power source by the download test system. The peripherals being tested each have their power buttons set to an on position, but the power source is initially set so that none of the peripherals have power applied to them.
