I'd like to produce a color-pattern on my printer.

In MS Paint you can produce your own colors with "Edit colors" by mixing red, green and bleu (from zero to
255). As this would produce 256^3 = over 16 million colors, printing them all would take a lot of paper. So
for convenience let's take steps of 32 points, 0-31-63-95-127-159-191-223-255. This leaves 8^3 = 512 colors to
be printed. I want every color to be printed with the amount of red, green and bleu. For example black, 0-0-0,
white 255-255-255.

Is there somewhere on the Internet a picture like this? Or a program that can produce it?

Any graphics program that can do a colour gradient can achieve what you are
looking for. See, for instance:
