Photosmart HP 6520: Printer work and print a blank page, on its own without input from any computer or device.

I use a configuration of Photosmart Printer series 6520 linked to a Comcast Cable modem router /wifi.  I use WPA2 security with a long password. (I also tried setting by using the system of the WPS - with changes in symptoms). With this router, the wifi connection I share with

  1. MacbookPro computer
  2. iPhone 6SPlus
  3. 12.9 inches iPad Pro

The symptoms are:

At random times during the day or night, you can hear computer works as if someone sent a print job.

  1. You go to the printer, and the front panel display is on.
  2. There is an empty of leaves paper ejected from the printer.

In the night when in bed and all devices are disabled except router and of course the printer, I can hear the printer works and then I wake up the next morning and there is a blank sheet of paper in the output tray.  I'm off to put the paper in the paper tray.

I keep the printer on 24 hours a day, because as ink jet printer inks tend to dry out the exposed to natural air. And HP recommends keep printer to prevent dry ink clogging in the head. I understand everything power is suspended unless the circuit warming (and it appeared to work that way until quite recently).

Although it made no difference, I just update the HP Update version 5 driver sent from Apple.  It turns out that it is the wasted effort, and I lost my custom configurations because the driver for my printer has not been updated for at least two years. He always uses the version 4.2.5 of the driver. (El Capitan is X.11.6 with the latest security updates).

Printer works fine otherwise.  Suggestions?

Yes, it made no difference. The façade has finally exploded but ocassion, it still ejects a sheet or two of paper.  Guess it's irreparable. I can live with. Works fine in the case.  Just close it as insoluble.

    Hello @ZackR,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP and thanks for posting!

    I want to help you with the problem of blank print you are having with your HP Deskjet 2660 printer.

    Thanks for the detailed description of the problem and the steps you have taken to try to solve it. Looks like the ink in your cartridges can have dried in the hot season (this is especially likely if you have had their printer output).

    I would recommend looking on the steps in this document, to see if there is nothing, you may have missed:

    HP Deskjet D2600 series printers - troubleshooting print quality issues

    If the problem persists, I strongly recommend replacing your cartridges, because it seems that the printer itself works fine.

    I hope this helps!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 has prints a blank page before each print job

    He just started this recently. Prints a blank page before each print job. Because of this quirk, I can't print now before backward.

    Hi Stevienext,

    Thanks for your response with your OS info!

    I would say that running the HP print and Scan Doctor to start to see if that solves the problem.

    If the problem persists, continue.

    Then, try to print from a few different programs to see if the problem occurs in only program or more. This will help us better to 'target' the question.

    Let me know if the pages are still printing in white and that the programmes seem to be giving you the problem.

    I'll do more if necessary suggestions there!

  • Update Firefox 27 loses my tabs in history, remembers the favicons but displays 'new tab' and displays a blank page when you click on. In addition, skin tightening

    It's getting really boring I've barely recovered since the different and boring bugs in V26. I have disabled the automatic update as I'm hacked off the coast on ff not start correctly and crashing can quit smoking after every single update.

    Such a bug which appeared around V26 was that a website (http://www.thecourier.co.uk/) blocking firefox. Just this site and just on my Mac and only on firefox. I can't reproduce the error on WinXP, Ubuntu or the computer of someone I know with the same version. the site blocks firefox without active plugins or addons, and this is what made me install NoScript first - that is, to block a JQuery? a script that was the cause of the crash.

    V27 bugs:
    Update Firefox 27 is to lose my tabs in the history after a restart, he remembers the favicons but displays 'new tab' in each and shows a blank page if clicked, thus freeing the favicon and history etc. There is nothing in the windows recently closed, etc..

    also, when of each restart my skin (Cotton Candy Swirl) is not displayed correctly: the title bar appears in gray Apple Mac and the lower bar shows pink massif.

    When Firefox I: > > quitting smoking, it crashes (as can be shown in the details of the Mac error report). This forces me to open the Task Manager and the strength to quit smoking.

    lose my history tabs after a reboot.

    > What are the preferences of the history in your options menu?

    'new tab' in each and shows blank page if clicked, thus freeing the favicon and history etc. There is nothing in recently closed windows etc.

    -> by default, the tabs do not load until they are clicked on, this can be changed in the menu options on the tab.
    -> in the recently closed window menu there are the features that should be lit to make it work:
    Go to about: config and check these settings
    type: sessionstore and right-click-> reset everything is bold, especially the browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and the browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo.

    If it repeats, try Safe Mode to ensure that it is not a plug-in that affect this and issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode

    For the swirl of cotton candy, please disable this or reinstall to ensure that it is up-to-date.

    And this time, please try: Firefox crashes or does not - how to fix

    We work on improving in all versions of Firefox. If you have any questions or need assistance, please let us know.

    Alhajji,
    They suggested to do a factory restore, if a valid step to do.  I know this isn't the most fun thing to do, but if you restore the system failing factory (clean install of the operating system).  Then, run Windows update and update drivers.  At this point, you can install a game and test.  If the problem persists, it would look to be a possible hardware problem with the system.

  • Photosmart HP 6520 prints only in black, even if only selected

    When I select 'black fast project only', I get a printing color. I replaced the black cartridge and the test print just fine. So everything I do or try, can't do the printer to print black scale and Yes more, I have this default :-).

    I use OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

    Driver software & installed properly.

    Please advice. I have about 400 slides to print for studies and most of them is color pdf, it's expensive to print in full colour.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hey Ladyli

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see you try to print in black and white for your Photosmart HP 6520, but since I use Mavericks even if you have defined, printing prints always in color.

    I would like that you do the following:

    Reset the printing system

    1. click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.

    2. in the hardware section, click Print & Fax/scanning. Dialog Print & Fax/scan opens.

    3.right - click (or Ctrl + click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system...

    4. click OK to confirm the reset.

    5 type the name and the correct password.

    6. click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows any selected printer

    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

    Now go ahead and add the printer to the back and continue here: OS X Mavericks: set the print options

    You are now able to print without color? I'll watch for your reply.

    Thank you
