Photosmart C7280 prints blank pages

My C7280 started printing blank pages between pages. I use this printer as wireless. Sometimes it won't print until I go to add printer again. After this last episode it started printing blank pages. I downloaded the file listed in post below for 7260 but it didn't resolve the issue. I went on their troubleshooting page and did as it suggests with the separator page. That didn't fix it either. Any other suggestions? Thanks ahead of time for any help.

  • Why does my hp photosmart 7520 prints blank pages

    Why does my HP Photosmart 7520 print blank pages?

    Sorry to ask an obvious question - but are you putting the paper in the right way? I have a 7520, and as long as there is ink in it, and the paper is facing the correct way, and I hear the print job go to the printer, it prints fine.
    Are you hearing the pringing attempting to print?

  • Photosmart 7660 printing blank page when using Microsoft word 2007

    I have a Hp photsmart 7660.It will print a Test page ok-it will print some of the text in an email.That is the heading and the end, but not the message in the middle of the email. When I write a document in Microsoft Word or Works the printer will go through the motions of printing but all I get is a blank page.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled using original disk and also tried the same using Hp software download all to no avail.
    The utility diagnostic says there is no problem everything is working well,but of course it is not. Can anyone help me to resolve this problem please.

    I tried this but didnt work for mr. Can you help? How did you PDFed??
    It works for me in Word 2010 (or later) using Save As PDF. It did not work in Word 2007 using the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer nor using Word 2007's save as pdf utility. (The hyperlink showed up but was not active.) It did work using the Acrobat tab in Word
    2007 (this requires Adobe Acrobat).
    I did this by:
    first creating the text box with the hyperlink in the body of the document and moving it into the footer area (but still not in the footer itself).
    Then I used the Format tab of Text Box Tools and the Postion button (More Layout Options).
    I gave it an absolute vertical position relative to the page.
    Then I cut the text box, went into the footer, and pasted it there.
    It might have worked to just create the text box in the footer itself.
    I personally prefer it that the header and footer are not part of the active page when I am typing. This hyperlink is not clickable in Word without going into the header/footer view and I'm fine with that. The QAT workaround is just fine.

  • T500 and HP Photosmart 7350 - prints blank pages

    I've done a search but can't seem to find anything. When I try to print it goes through the motions but pops out a blank page. I've uninstalled and reinstalled with the latest driver from HP. It prints a test page OK directly using the printer's buttons and through the HP software. It won't print when I reinstall and click the "Print Test Page" button. It also prints a test page when it recalibrates the cartrideges. I've tried different cables and connecting to different USB ports; makes no difference. Anyone have this problem?

  • HP PSC 1410 printing blank pages

    I have recently installed windows 7 (32 bit) on my Asus G50 laptop. First thing i did was installing all the latest drivers from the HP website including the HP solution centre and other software. Now here's my problem:
    Whenever i try to print anything through 3rd party software (i.e. browsers, Word, Notepad etc.) my PSC 1410 'prints' blank pages. The reason i say print is because i can hear the printerhead moving as if it was really printing and the paper gets pulled through in short steps like it normally would. There is however no ink on the pages.
    Now here's the weird thing. When i check my ink levels in the solution centre, both color and black are over 75%. It get's even better now: When i use solution centre to print a test page or clean out the inkcartridges it works fine! It seems like all programs outside of HP software have problems communicating somehow.
    i'm pretty sure i have the latest drivers installed (downloaded them 3 days ago). I'm running the 32bit version of Windows 7, kept nicely up to date, on an Asus G50v notebook. some technical specs for the lovers:
    Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53 GHz)
    Nvidia GeForce 9700M GT

  • Printer prints blank pages despite cleaning, won't align

    HP photosmart B210 all of  sudden prints blank pages and won't align

    Hi @bhoover64,
    I see that you are getting blank pages and the printer won't align. I can help you with this.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    I have provided a document to go through the steps to see if that will resolve the issue.

  • My brand new HP x451dw only prints blank pages

    My brand new HP x451dw only prints blank pages. I have never seen a drop of ink on a page since I have had and set up this printer, even during the set-up process.
    All indications suggest that I have configured the printer correctly. I have communication from a variety of computers, ipads, etc. and all will get the correct number of pages to come out of the printer, all pages are blank. Likewise with the printer test page. 
    There has never been a drop of ink on any page since I took this out of the box.
    I do not get any error messages. The printer thinks the ink cartridges are full - they are genuine, and they are full.
    Any ideas anyone?

    If this just happens from these two programs, it's most likely a driver conflict.  If typically using an alternate driver will alow you to get around this.  To try this, add the printer's que to the Mac.  Click the dropdown next to Use and choose a driver that's not for your printer.  Typically the best one to try is another Photosmart dirver, but Deskjet drivers will work as well.  I would make the instructions a bit more clear, but I don't have access to a 10.6 Mac.  Let me know if this works or not.

  • REPORT SERVER 6i Patch1 PRINTING BLANK PAGES

    I have a problem that is occouring on three different report servers. It will start printing blank pages instead of the report and the only way to get it back to normal is to stop and reastart the service. I get this on a version 6, version 6i and version 6i patch1 report servers. It makes no difference what call method I use (command line or OCX control). I can also force this behavior on one of the servers by selecting a HP 895C as the default printer in the windows printers and then starting the service. All pages print blank after that. At the customers site it appears to be random as to when it will start printing the blank pages.
    Any ideas on what the fix is for this?
    null

    Is there any ideas on this?
    We have a Reports 6i server up and running and I'm getting stuff out OK to postscript printers, but some HP older printers are just spitting out blank pages. Is there a desformat= that I need to set differently? I've tried most of the options ( dec, psport, psland, hpl... all blank )
    Appreciate any help, I haven't used this stuff long, so am quite naive about how it hangs together.

  • HP LaserJet 4MP Printing Blank Pages

    Hi there,
    This is perhaps OT, but a recent issue with my HP LJ 4MP is causing me great anguish and heartache.
    Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my HP is producing blank pages. It just runs and runs spewing out blank pages.
    I've tried all the IO resets and a cold reset. Unplugging and leaving idle. Unplugged the Asante bridge between the serial and the CAT 5.
    After a while I can get it to stop printing blank pages, it works fine for a while, then the interminable blank pages start again.
    Has anyone seen such an issue? Any known resolution?
    Thanks a bunch,
    Matthew

    Matthew,
    I too use HP LaserJet 4MP and AssanteTalk Bridge connected to computer via ethernet crossover cable and link from Assante to both my LJ4MP and HPDeskJet855cse, using BelKin QuikNet adapters in a string using RJ11 jumper cables.
    My HP driver software is HP8.1.1.
    I Never use "BackGround Printing".
    I Never use "DeskTop Print Monitor".
    The only time I can remember multiple blank copies is when I used to use "Print Monitor and BackGround Printing".
    Clear your preferences and get rid of Print Monitor and Don't use BackGround Printing.

  • HP LJ 1320 only prints blank pages

    The printer will only print blank pages. Test pages are also blank (including from the Green Button). This is a recurring issue. It was solved in the past by fiddling with the cartridge and mechanical parts inside (we don't know what exactly sovled the problem). Toner is full. I ran the HP Diagnostic Tool and it found no "X"s.
    I verified that the following mechanical parts are functional:
    switch on left side of cartridge door
    plastic tab on top right of door, which connects to laser spring/switch
    spring/switch underneath top panel, which seems to enable laser
    arm/gears to enable paper spindle
    contacts on printer-side of toner/printer connection (this part slides from side to side 1/4 inches, and I tried printing with it in various locations)
    There seem to be no error beeps/tones when the printer starts up or when I close the toner door. (However, it was capable as I bypassed one of the switches and it made an error tone at that point).
    I think it must be something like a dead laser (however, I think the laser is invisible and we cannot test tosee if it is functional).
    Any other ideas/solutions would be appreciated.
    I forgot to mention that the low-toner light is not lit, and we've had this issue with both new and old-working toners cartridges.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printing Blank Pages Instead Of Data And Also Reorienting Itself

    Hi all
    We have a wireless HP Officejet Pro 8000 in our office (but via cable, not wireless) to a network.  The printer is occasionally printing blank pages instead of say a spreadsheet selected to print. 
    The other issue is that if you say are printing two copies of the same spreadsheet, one prints okay (say landscape) and the second copy, selected at the time of printing, prints it portrait but only part of the left hand side of it and the rest is blank.  Coming out of and going back inthe file usually recitifes this.  But it does it again any time it feels like it.
    We did have an upgrade, where our IT guy took away our desktop boxes and replaced with smaller base units and everything is run from a main server and alsoan upgrade from Windows 2000 to Network.  Problems started after this and the IT guy did update the printer driver.
    Please would anyone be able to assist?  Any help for this frustrating problem gratefully accepted!
    Thanks,
    Saxplayer67

    So the issue with the 8000 printer is periodic print jobs do not come out as you are wanting them. Is that right? This is interesting, just from the point of view that generally speaking issues like this are like a light switch, they are either there or they are not - they usually don't come and go. That being said, we are going to see what we  can do to resolve this. First I am going to recommend that we perform a clean installation of the printer after uninstalling it from the machine. By the way, what is the operating system you are working with - Is it Windows 2000 Network? 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it. 
    Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer: 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3762364
    Install that and let me know the result! 
    Have a great day!

  • HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer J610a is printing blank pages

    Your HP Deskjet 3050 is printing BLANK PAGES? 
    The printer ejects blank sheets of paper when printing. Some or all the printed pages might be partially blank or half printed. It can be the software that you are printing from or program. Sometimes it can be the actual print head needs cleaning or cartridges are low.

    View Solution.

    Yes, the link is down. 
    See if you can print a self-test page or printer status report from the printer itself. If so, then it is a software or connection issue. 
    If you can print test page, try to use a different USB cable. Also, you can uninstall and re-install the software and drivers. 
    If you are NOT able to print a test page from the printer, try to clean the cartridges with lint free cloth and water.
