  Running a HP C4180 all-in-One on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - Bit.

  Now it scans fine, but will not print from any application except the HP test utility (which prioves there is connectivity).

  The print spooler service is running OK. I ran the diagnostics for Windows trial and it does not find a problem.

  When I print from (say) Word, all indicators say that the RFSO be printed - but it's not. And there is nothing pending the printer either.

• HP Photosmart 5520: Printer prints blank pages suddenly

  Yesterday, my printer decided that he would simply print blank pages with a black line in the middle. I did a test print via the configuration menu and it prints fine. My wife can print wireless. And until yesterday I had no problem.

  On and off, but today, I have the same problem. Help?

  Looks like there is something wrong with the print on your Mac driver. To resolve this problem, we will need refresh your printing system and re - add the printer driver.

  Reset the printing system:

  To begin, I will have you reset the printing system on your Mac. Please click herefor instructions on how to perform the reset. When the site opens, follow the steps under"Reset printing in OS X Lion system" because the steps are the same for Mac OS X 10.10. This Reset deletes each printer on your Mac. However, it does not uninstall printers. Therefore, if use you other printers on the Mac, once the reset is complete simply make sure printers are attached via a USB cable or connected network and (+) add hide them po do add not your HP Photosmart back in right now.

  Once the reset is complete, proceed to the next step.

  Check and repair your Mac disk permissions:

  1. Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
  2. Go to the Utilities folder
  3. Open disk utility
  4. Select the hard disk volume, you use (usually on the left)
  5. Select verify disk permissions
  6. Once this process is complete, select repair disk permissions

  Add device:
  1. click on the menu of Apple , then Preferences System.

  2. click on print and scan and then check if the name of your printer appears in the printer list.

  3. click on the name of your printer, click the sign minus (), then remove the printer.

  4. click on the plus sign (), click Add a printer or a Scanner, click the name of your printer.

  5. click on the area of use or with the help of Print and then select the name of your printer on the shortcut menu. Ensure that the driver of the HP Photosmart camera is selected.

  

  6. click Add to add the printer to the list. Do not add the AirPrint driver.

  Once your printer is properly added to, please try printing again to verify that the problem is now resolved.

• Photosmart 6525: Blank Pages when printing is complete

  After a print job is completed, the PhotoSmart 6525 continues to feed the sheet after sheet of blank paper until one of the following conditions occurs:

  1. The printer is out of paper
  2. I managed to successfully cancel the job (what happens usually after that at least 10 blank pages have been through, the printer jams unless)
  3. The paper jams (usually after 5 or 6 white pages). This is what happens to 90% of the time.

  Troubleshooting steps I have already taken:

  1. Hard reset of the printer (three times)
  2. Clean all rollers (at least twice)
  3. Reset the print Mac (twice) subsystem
  4. Reinstall the latest version of the printer software (also at least twice).

  Nothing did. Any other suggestions? Otherwise, it will be the first (out of seven) HP printers I've owned that lasted less than six years (in this case, 18 months).

  Hey @Fogbear,

  At this point, I will send you a private Message with instructions on how to perform a reset of programming full semi on your printer.

  Please check your private Messages for instructions. Once the reset is complete, please test stand-alone print to see if the problem has been resolved.

  I look forward to hear from you!

  Hi @jim_tuck89

  What operating system and version do you have? Mac or Windows?

  If you have a Windows operating system, start printing HP and doctor Scan. Printing HP and doctor Scan is a free utility (tool) that allows to quickly solve common printing, scanning and connectivity problems, including but not limited to:

  • Connectivity:

    USB: Check that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product works properly.

    Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working properly.

  • Device Status Test: checks the errors of the device, such as paper, paper jams, stands transport and paper issues and provides instructions to resolve the error.

  • Driver: checks the driver missing or corrupt files.

  • Device Manager: check the problems in Device Manager that could prevent printing.

  • Device online: check if the product has been suspended or put in offline and then sets the State back in line if necessary.

  • Print queue: checks and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a newspaper for printing waiting to print).

  • Port Match: check the port settings for the HP product.

  • Device conflicts: check the conflicts with other drivers, such as the other brands of printers.

  • Ink issues: check the cartridges and the ink levels for issues that affect the print quality.

  • Print settings: check and adjust the print quality settings.

  If this does not resolve the problem, after back and let me know if there are all the symbols except the Green checkmarks and what they are next of course. The key is not always easy to identify the key and check mart are in the green circle.

  • If you see only the Green checkmarks (), the tool did not find any problem.

  • If you see green sides (), the utility identified a problem and fix it automatically.

  • If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and requires monitoring of the user, but the step was ignored.

  • If you see a red X (), follow the onscreen instructions to fix the problem.

• My HP Officejet Pro L7680 print a blank page before every PDF print job

  My HP Officejet Pro L7680 print a blank page before every PDF print job, regardless if it's a PDF I create or a tht is sen for me.  All PDF files behave in the same way. The Document is good, but its annoying to have to go out the blank sheets and put back them in the printer.

  Hello @RMorley,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! I understand that when you print pdf documents on your HP Officejet Pro L7680, it prints a blank page.

  1. go to your devices and printers

  2. right-click on your JO L7680

  3. navigate to printing properties

  4. click on the Advanced tab

  5. click on the Separator Page

  It was empty or was there something put there? If something is listed here please delete and apply the changes.

  The PSDR find something, let me know the results?

  1. What is your current operating system, Windows or Mac and what version?

  2. What is the connected printer, USB or wireless?

  3. If you print from the internet or e-mail you get the blank page or documents?

  Thanks again,

• Printing blank Pages V PSC 2110 resolved

  Found a very strange problem that has an impact on other printers as well.  Our PSC 2110 V as a local printer on USB attached to a Windows XP Service Pack 2 running on a Dell 4700 started printing anything else than white pages. Even the test page.  However, other computers connected to this computer (linux and mac) could print very well.  Then of course, the printer worked!

  Turns out that what is called Data Execution Prevention setting has been changed.  Not sure how this has changed, perhaps on a recent update from MS, not sure.  In any case, go to control panel of--> System--> Advanced--> performance and select the Setup button. In Performance Options, select Data Execution Prevention, and then select the radio button top of page "enable DEP for window essential programs and services only."

  Before that, you can read about on the site of Ms.  He tries to stop the bad programs of support for your program.

  Maybe there is a better solution that restrict DEP to the only window programs, there may be a new driver that is happy DEP.

  Thanks - this change DEP setting worked for me also! I also have Windows XP (media center edition) SP2, so maybe HP can come up with a patch for it? I see that there is a similar with Windows Vista problem, although she mentions a specific print quality and paper selection which triggers the printing of blank pages problem.

• PES 9 prints blank page

  PSE 9.0.3 for Mac started printing blank pages only. I go through all the correct print dialogs, press on print, I hear my Epson R1900 departure through its full cycle of printing, but only a blank page comes out. I also see a blank if I display the result in the preview. When I take the same image and print it using PSE 8, it works fine (I'm happy that I kept the old version). I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 have done all the recent updates software, downloaded the latest drivers from Adobe, restarted, zapped the PRAM and repair permissions. Nothing seems to help the PES 9 printing problem. Someone has an idea what is happening?

  I tried to use a different profile of printing and that worked. It seems that some of my CASI has been corrupted.

• When I try to print, and the HTML document firefox downloads only a blank page.

  I sent some documents in pdf format. I chose to download, the download arrow fired to the blue. I was then able to select the file. Opening the page print the normal browser and I was able to print. I need to reprint pages and this is where my problem comes in. Now when I try to select the firefox file shows that it is downloaded the file but when I select the downloaded pdf firefox only to download the doc again and displays a blank page.

  I'm currently at work and do not have available the browser specifications.

  Thanks for your help guigs2. In any case, I finally solved my problem by simply installing the new Acrobat reader DC. All my downloaded pdf files types changed html firefox for documents adobe acrobat documents. I can now print what I want. I know that technically it does not really solve the problem of firefox regardless of this issue, but this allowed me to print my docs and that's what really mattered to me. Thanks again for your help.

• A blank page print poster preview

  When I want to print something, I'm going to print preview to see what it looks like. When I do this, the window is empty - the message does not appear. If I try to print anyway, I get a blank page. I tell myself that I have a bad, but no idea what setting. Any Suggestions?

  Thank you

  Found the answer - the left on the page margin was put at 10 inches. In addition, the right one was also.

  I would think that if I said the paper was 8.5 x 11 and the right and left margins were 10 inches, TB would catch this as an error and not allow it.  I would think that an error message would pop up indicating the inconsistency.
  

• new foxfire. now the printer prints blank pages

  recent update of firefox. Now canon printer prints only blank pages for e-mail files.

  Simple start would be to see if you can print in another browser like Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, we can identify that it is the update of Firefox that caused this problem
