• OfficeJet 6700 Premium only print blank pages

  My Officejet 6700 Premium printer is only printing blank pages. I just replaced all the cartridges with HP new ones. The printer is now going through the motions but does not print blank pages. This happens for all what I am trying to print including Diagnostics pages. The printer is a little older a year is not under warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  I can understand how frustrating. Your printer has built in the printhead. To improve the quality, the only step that I recommend is the cleaning of the print head. Please try to contact HP technical support to see what options you have. Click here to read: worldwide Contact HP.

  Good luck.

• E709 only prints blank pages

  I recently installed a new black ink cartridge and now I only get blank pages when you try to print or copy.

  OS - Windows 7 64 bit

  I went through all the 9 steps of the Guide Solution HP with no positive results.

  If the unit fails to produce ink when copying, then it narrows the hunt down to the hardware itself of the printer.
  
  You did to be sure that the printer has been able to align with success? When a cartridge is changed the printer normally performs a process of alignment. At this successful?
  
  So, follow the steps in the document located here. The document will guide you through checking the cartridges for a good evacuation, ink levels and automatic cleaning options.
  
  If the steps in the document do not address the issue, then it is a problem in the print head or of printer ink system.
  * We can try the workaround provided in this thread.
  * You can buy a new printhead for HP parts store using the CN643a part number.
  * You can buy a new printer.
  
  I hope this helps.

• HP photosmart Plus B210 series - prints blank pages

  Hello, I got the printer above for about 4 years with no problems. He suddenly started printing blank pages. I went through all the cleaning cycles, alignment etc., but without success. I bought a new genuine HP print head and installed new cartridges and still once, it prints blank pages. The message I get is that alignment process has failed. Does this mean the printer is down and I'll have to buy a new one, or can you suggest a solution? I went through all the steps suggested for this type of printer on your forum, but I still get blank pages. It is a disaster for me and my wife whose work depends on the network printer. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Hi @drbince,

  Given you have changed the print head and the problem persists, according to me, maybe it's time to consider a replacement printer.

  Alignment is a failure because the printer does not black. If you have followed all the steps in the following document, it might be time to give us a call to weigh your replacement options: HP Photosmart Plus B210 printer - color or black ink not print.

• Dell V715w printer only print blank pages

  Recently my dell V715w printer not print any excel files or Microsoft Word. The file will be sent to the printer and it will display only a blank page, but if I try and print something from my email, it prints perfectly.

  I tried a cable and wireless with her impression and seems to fix the problem. I checked to make sure that all drivers are up to date and my ink level is half full, if not more. So, I do believe that it is a problem of low ink.

  Can someone help me? or give me advice on how to fix this?

  Thank you in advance

• HP 3510 only prints blank pages of the i - pad, but works fine with xp configured portable computer. Why? Help!

  I have a hp3510 wireless printer which worked well with my i - pad and on my laptop when 1st installed.  now it will only print blank with the i - pad pages, even if it still works fine when using my laptop configured xp.  can someone tell me how to fix the problem of the i - pad, so that I can print wireless using this device?

  Thank you!

  I begin with the tension of the Apple device, make sure that you hold the power button down and drag the bar on the screen on 'Off '. If you have more than 1 iOS device that you use with the current of the printer (like an iPad or iPhone) them down at the same time. Then reactivate them all and try to print to the printer.

  If still a problem, I would then turn off the printer, router and device from Apple.
  1. unplug the router, (most do not have a power button)
  2. turn off printer and Apple device
  3 wait about 20-30 seconds
  4 plug router back in and wait for it to be fully operational and all the light on it again as they were before unplugging.
  5 printer and apple pyromecanismes turn on (check the settings of the iPad to make sure he's still on the same network as the printer and "ask to join other networks" is enabled).

• HP 2175xi on Windows 7 only prints blank pages

  I used to have Windows Vista Business. and just upgraded to Windows 7 Professional. I had my 2175xi long period (4 years and more) and it worked very well.

  When I upgraded to Windows 7, the installation has said I can have trouble with the 2175xi all-in, but I went ahead anyway. The printer was not connected to the time wherever I've updated (long story). I connected the printer and got the printer through Windows Update driver update. But but now prints blank pages, or pages with a cut-off line at the top of the page, even on the "Print a Test Page" function. I restarted the PC, I have reset the printer, and I checked/exchanged my USB cable. I do not have another old printers/drivers/etc. I looked at hp.com for a newer driver, but each page seems to say that I can get this driver through Windows Update, not by a direct download from HP.

  This is the 2nd time that I had major problems with the HP drivers on a new version of Windows. If it is a marketing ploy to get me to buy a new printer, it works - but it will not be a HP I get next time! If all goes well, it's just a small easily fixable problem.

  Thank you

  -> Alan

  Has proved to be a simple problem. I went into the menu devices and printers, deleted the printer, the printer is off and then turned it back. Plug N Play picked up, installed the driver again, and now it works.

  HP - you won back me. I get you your printers.

• HP Photosmart A310 only prints blank pages

  Dear

  members of the Forum

  This compact printer will print blank. The light of the empty cartridge does not show the empty cartridge.

  No error light is on display.

  I tried to 'clean up the cartride' but still no joy,

  I've tried everything. Do you know what the problem please

  Should I get a new cartridge

  Ian

  Hello @kasfig ,

  Thanks for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us!

  You may need to replace the cartridge, even if it is not empty. Most likely, this will fix the problem. Here is a document you can quickly read in 5 minutes of HP to explain why this is probably the question and you may need to replace a cartridge even if it is not empty. Why a cartridge should be ignored when it still contains ink?

  Let me know if the replacement resolves the problem. Can't wait to hear back on your part.

• I had a HP 309 Photosmart Premium has that prints blank pages.

  I got the HP 309 connected wireless to my Mac for 18 months without any problem.  I tried several times cleaning and laignment.  I have allso deleted and reinstalled the software, with no luck.

  Remove the ink cartridges.  Now, lift the gray lever on the right side of the cart and remove the printhead.

  Clean the electric comes into contact with (tens of small roundabouts) on the print head and the distribution of printed material.  Go back.  Repeat the test.

• New HP Pavilion g series only prints blank pages connected USB printer HP C309a

  Just bought a HP Pavillion G Notebook PC series. It is connected to a HP Photosmart Premium C309a printer with a USB cable.  The printer will print diagnostic tests and test if launched pages from the printer, but when a print job is sent from the computer, it debits and grinds and finally spits out a blank sheet of paper.  Sometimes looks like it is the impression of advancing the sheet of paper, one line at a time - but ultimately, it is always empty.  He seems satisfied with his results because it sounds to say she did it - doing nothing (just a little humor).  Any idea would be appreciated.

• Photosmart 6510: photosmart 6510 prints blank pages

  Printer was working fine.  Had to change the cartridge. First of all, I didn't have black and now I don't have much color either.  The printer says I had no real HP though now it shows that I do. I never bought my cartridges anywhere but the staples.  Printing October 2012 have changed many cartridges before you buy.  Followed everything I could find.  Still not printing.

If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

  Please, try the following steps to see if it will help solve the problem.

  Printer cannot print black ink or color ink or prints blank Pages.

  This document is for the cleaning of the cartridge and the contacts, check the tab on the cartridge and the printer reset. "Incompatible cartridge" or "indicated ink cartridge needs to be replaced" message on the c...

  If the problem persists, perform a power reset. A alphanumeric Code (example: ' 0 x 'r' C2...) ") displays on the front panel when printing. Do not take into account the title.

  This model has a permanent print head, this video shows you how to access the print head, so you can manually clean the printer and soak the printhead, it's my own personal recommendation, not one of HPs, is to use the solution proposed in the following videos.  I suggest only doing this if the printer is out of warranty.

  Once you get to the clock at 3:20 minutes, you can stop this video.

  Разборка HP Photosmart 6510 (disassembly Photosmart HP 6510)...

  This video is for a different model but it will provide the steps to move the print head and cleaning, also if you continue the video it will provide measures to remove the print head and soaking. Play video 01:24 minutes. HP 5510 will not print black and color - print head removed and cleaned.

  If you have completed all the above steps and your product still has a problem, service the product.

  I hope this helps. Let me know how make you out. Thank you.
