• 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.

• 6500 accepts the print job, but prints blank pages - even in copy mode

  6500 accepts the print job, but prints blank pages - even for copies. Printer ink is full.

  WOW! At least temporarily, my solution is press Setup (the key) right arrow to TOOLS #6 tab. type OK.
  Tab (# 2) clean the print head. Hit OK. If all goes well, take a step back, let the process and be surprised. A second test may be necessary.
  It works at least for a day. Maybe it's your solution.  Jesus is our only hope!

• 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.

  Hi @mjohns390,

  I read your post and see that you can not print in black or color now. I would like to help you today. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "" accept as Solution"" down below this message. 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.

  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.

  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.

• My Network HP 6500 printer prints blank pages

  Can someone help me? The printer seems to be working for fax and scan, but when I try to print pages, they all come out blank. I replaced all cartridges with new cartridges, I turned off the printer and turned it back, I uninstalled the printer and reinstalled, but nothing helped. There are two computers attached to it, but cannot print anything. This happened the day to the next for no apparent reason.

• photosmart HP 6520 printing blank pages

  As soon as the printer turns on, it prints blank pages and does not stop until you cancel on the printer. After 30 seconds or more, it starts to do the same thing again until you cancel print.  nothing appears on the computer that is waiting for printing or printing.  the printer is connected to the computer via usb. Ive tried to restart the computer and the printer and do a factory reset of the printer.

  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.

  • Test print: print a test page for the assessment of the print quality and provides options for cleaning and if necessary print head alignment.

  • Scan tests: check the scanning mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.

  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.

• HP Officejet 6300 - printing blank pages...?

  Hello world

  I have a HP Officejet 6300 that I installed the ink successfully and aligned cartridges but when printing its just empty pages... Ive done a clean place and that made no difference.

  One thing is that the color innk cartridge is empty but the black ink cartridge is full... I gave instructions to print in gray scale, assuming one would use the black ink cartridge...

  For some reason if I remove the empty color cartridge the printer displays the ink cartridge missing message... ghoulish I on increase this?

  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

  Concerning

  Natalie

  I'm sorry you have a problem with the printer, printing blank pages.

  No, there is no way you can replace the error message.

  Most printers will not work without all the cartrides with ink.

  Color cartridges mix with black to make a true black color. It is an older model of printer. Some older printers can print without the color cartridges. Not sure if this is one of them.

• HP Photosmart 8050: HP Photosmart 8050 printing blank page

  HP Photosmart 8050 suddenly prints blank pages.

  I tried to uninstall and install the driver, I tried to change the toner cartridge but I does not solve the problem.

  Software does give not any what error message, because the printer prints, but when the leaf turns off it is white (it seems to work but this is not the case).

  Can you help me, please?

  Hi @Alf3,

  Welcome to the HP Support forum.

  I understand that you have a HP Photosmart 8050 printer that prints blank pages. I would like to help with that.

  There is more support for the HP Photosmart 8050 printer available document any longer because it was added to the list of retirement of HP product.

  Here's a document, for a newer model of the HP Photosmart, that can be used to solve this problem, because the steps are generally the same - printer prints blank Page or does not print black or color ink.

  Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

• 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.

  Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/

• 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 C309 printing blank pages

  Hello

  I have a HP Photosmart C309a printer which has worked well until recently. The problem seems to have started after the tray of food thing was hit and fall, but it is difficult to say for sure because I didn't print a few weeks after that. There is no visible damage to the tray, and it will lock in place without problem. Now it is just printing blank pages.

  I did a test print (print quality report), and this is what came out:

  http://i281.Photobucket.com/albums/kk222/coolbeverage/SCAN0008.jpg

  If I remember correctly, there are two black cartridges in your printer, the smallest with the symbol looks like two triangle pointing together, is the photo black ink, it is only used for printing photos. The greatest with the symbol of the Pentagon is ink black text. If the printer reports that non-empty black ink, but do not print text black (after 'cleaning print head'), there could be only two things, I'm afraid:
  1. the black printhead is dead and need replaced. or
  2. the passage of the ink cartridge to the print head does not, it will take a professional service (repair).
