• 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.

  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.

  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.

• 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?

  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.

• 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.

• 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/

• DeskJet 3845 prints blank pages

  I got the Deskjet 3845 printer for 6 years and I have not used for 1.5 years. I tried to get going again and every time I try to print, it prints blank pages. I just bought a new black ink cartridge and I removed the light orange Ribbon. I have Windows 8 and it's an old printer, so I don't know if it's a compatibility issue. I used printing HP and doctor scan and it said my printer was ok. However, when I printed a test page, it was empty. I'm totally stumped and I appreciate any help!

  All the best,

  Kyle

  I'm sorry you have a problem with the printing of blank pages. It seems you have the problem of material with the cartridges or the printhead. More he to sit upwards and not in use, the cartridges and printheads can dry out.

  Printing blank Pages

• 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.
