Printer printing blank sheets between printed ones

I have a HP Officejet 6210 all in one, running windows XP. My problem is when I am printing something I made up in microsoft word, it puts out a blank sheet first than it puts out a blank sheet in between the printed ones. I don't want to have to babysit it if I have a lot of copies to print.It seems to only do it on certain ones. I have an older version of word.

HP Deskjet 3512 spews out blank sheet before printing shipping label

Hi,As my title says, the printer pops out a blank sheet before printing my shipping label.This has been going on for about a week. Nothing has changed or is different.If it can't be fixed i want to get a new one so i don't get behind in my work.Just wondering if this happens when an inexpensive printer is on it's last legs. Thanks, Sandi

Not saving the label. When i get an order Right on that page is a box "print shipping label'Another page shows where you put the weight in and you check a couple other sequential thingsand the printer pops out the label. Super duper simple. When the first blank sheet comes out i don't have to touch anything for the label to begin printing...it does it on it's own.. maybe the printer needs a vacation as i do! Sandi

C309g-m pulling multiple blank sheets when printing

I have a C309g-m that I bought last fall. Beginning several days ago (after a paper jam that I cleared), it has started pulling multiple blank sheets for each printed page. For example, today I printed one e-mail and one web page (both were single pages), and each was followed by 8 blank sheets. The sheets can be reused of course but something clearly isn't right.
Could the jam have knocked something out of alignment? What do I need to do to correct this?
Update: has nobody else seen this behavior? HP support staff - please give me some suggestions and if they resolve the problem I'll post the results here.

When print selected, printer "prints" only blank sheets of paper. Cartridges ok and test print ok

Printer suddenly produces only blank sheets of paper when print job is set via desktop. HP Solution Center indicates ink levels ok. Printed a diagnostic page ok.

I have done all the diagnostics, alignment and cleaning, but it still will not print a test page. The page printed during alignment uses mostly blue colors. I tried printing an email and it printed every line or item that was blue on the original. All rest was blank. I have downloaded all recent fixes and drivers for Solution Center and printer.

F4280 ejecting blank sheets, not prints

System 1
Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit
Printing from MS office 2007 Home and Student : Excel
System 2
Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit
Printing from MS office 2003 : Excel
I have tested this worksheet and it prints from all our other workstations to various different printers. But on Two workstations the only variable is that they are printing to HP F4280 printers. On these workstations, the test print prints perfectly. Printing from other applications is not an issue. Printing some worksheets is OK. But on a few of the different work sheets, they print preview just fine, but just spit out sheets of paper, the print heads don't even move.
We cannot seem to find a solution from all our testing.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer divers with no change in the results. The only thing that we can figure (by process of elimination) is that the problem is specific to the printer model.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I had the same problem and I solved it! There is probably defined maximal resolution in the XLS file. To print the document (sheet) it is necessary to set the Normal quality of printing, not maximal quality (File > Print > Properties > Normal). It seem that the printer HP Deskjet F4280 is not able to print in the maximal defined resolution (usually 1200 dpi).
It worked for me!
Good luck,
Paul

Printing area blank in safari, printing area blank in safari

Whenever I try and use ebay, or amazon to print prepaid postage the print area is blank and obviously prints blank. This seems to happen to every application written presumably in java.
However, when I use google chrome this items print correctly. I have contacted the support departments of ebay etc and they have confirmed there are issues with Safari, but google Chrome works.
When will Apple sort this out as I do not want to move to google Chrome??
Please help guys!

The problem is with the last line
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://us.js2.yimg.com/us.js.yimg.com/lib/smb/js/hosting/cp/js_source/whv2_001.js"></script><script language="javascript">geovisit();</script><noscript><img src="http://visit.webhosting.yahoo.com/visit.gif?us1279295487" alt="setstats" border="0" width="1" height="1"></noscript>
This is outside of the HTML tag plus the directions say that it has to be removed.
I hope this helps

PS The page is also blank in IE

Blank page printed every other sheet. Why? help!

Our printer at our doctors office is a HP laserjet 2430tn with dual print capabilities, one for regular printing and one for scripts. Relevant to the scripts, every time a doctors send a prescription to the printer to be printed out, blank pages come printed out in between every printed copy? Why is that and how can i fix this?

Printing to a Mac shared printer from windows 8

How can I print to a Mac shared printer (OS: 10.8.2) from my Windows 8 PC which is using the same Apple network?
Matthias

I have tried using Bonjour on for Windows on Win8 however while it finds the printer and can add it no problem whenever a job is sent to the printer a blank page is printed. The Win8 machine can print to the printer fine if directly connected and the same driver is used when printing via Bonjour so one can only assume it's a "communications" issue between the Win8 machine and my Mac Pro which is sharing the printer.

HP Officejet pro 8500a prints endless stream of un-ordered blank sheets with one character on them

My HP Officejet Pro 8500a worked fine until about 2 weeks ago (it is about 3 months old). It began printing endlessly (during a period that no documents are being sent to the printer - I want to be clear this is not in regard to ORDERED documents from any of the computers). It prints out a sheet of paper with a D in the first character spot in the left top corner, then spits out the paper. It keeps going until it runs out of paper. The only way to stop it is to 1) turn it off 2)keep pressing the "cancel print" button (every 5-10 seconds) or 3) take out the paper. This of course is a hassle because while actually trying to print a document (which does come out fine), we have to load fresh paper and lose several pieces while the printer continues it's freak out before printing our ORDERED document.
Spent almost 2 1/2 hours on tech support yesterday - it took 2 hours to MAKE IT CLEAR that the printer was PRINTING ON IT'S OWN. The tech kept trying to "fix" the documents I was printing (which are FINE, as I said). Finally, I was told that a higher level tech would have to call me back - but looking through forums, it appears that's an empty promise and no point in waiting for assitance.
Any suggestions?

Let's start by resetting the printer. Turn it off, hold the # and 6 keys while and a bit after turning it back on.
What router brand/model are you using? What operating system on your computer?

I opened a link in an email from Penney's to print a coupon. All Firefox printed was a blank sheet of paper.

The coupon opens in a new window. My printer is connected but all that comes out is a blank sheet of paper. I copied the URL to IE, the coupon opened in a new window, and it printed. What is blocking the printing in Firefox?

I'm going to guess this coupon was a PDF file. There are two things you can do:
Wait until Friday, and update to Firefox 29.0.1 which fixes this issue [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]. I recommend this if you can wait two days to print PDF's
If you can't wait, [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]] can help you change your PDF viewer to one that can print.

HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printing Blank Sheets

I have a HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer. I joined two scanned images into one photo and saved it as a .tif file. I then resized it to 8x10 and it printed fine. When I resized it again to print it as an 12x16 on 13x19 paper, the printer will only spit out blank sheets. I took it to a mini lab and they couldn't print it either.
Anybody have any ideas what might be wrong?
Bob

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
the power cord from the printer then from the
wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall
and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’
and restore the printer to a known good
condition (if it is possible). No user settings are
lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
tools to use when the printer hardware is not
functioning properly!

Printer sending out blank sheets

When I try to print to my Epson CX8400 from my MacBook Pro it generates multiple sheets of blank paper, even if I try to run a test print. It prints fine to my old HP Deskjet. The Epson works fine with my Imac desktop, so it isn't a printer problem.
I have recently installed Parallels 4.0 and Windows XP on the Macbook. In Windows it says the Epson is not available, but the HP is.
I have reset the printers in the Macbook, still does not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!
