Printer prints blank sheets of paper

I was recently given a HP Photosmart Premium C309n printer from my Uncle for college. I have already installed the driver on my Mac Book Pro laptop which has a OS X 10.7 operating system. I finally received a correct ink cartridge that fits my printer, but now the printer is just printing blank pages!! Please help me, I am a freshman in college and is in great need of this printer!!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Printing blank sheets

    My daughter and  I have the same hp printer.  She ran out of black ink, so I took mine out of my printer as I didn't have any extra on hand.  When I replaced mine with a  new cartridge, it would print blank sheets.  Also, the ink cartridge she borrowed from me, did not work in her printer either.  Nor did a new cartridge.  Both printers were working before we did the ink cartridge exchange.
    So, now neither of our printers work.  They sound like they are printing something, but only blank sheets come out.
    I have read all of the troubleshooting suggestions and nothing works.  I do believe it has something to do with the cartridge exchange.
    Thank you,
    This question was solved.

    Sorry that you are experiencing this issue. Sometimes when it is printing blank pages, the print head may need cleaning or it may be a software issue with the drivers. 
    Can you print a self-test page/printer status report from the printer itself. If so, then it may be software problem. If not, it is the printer itself that needs attending. 
    Here is a link that may assist you with this problem.

  • 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?

    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 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.

    This article should help resolve your blank pages:

  • Photosmart 5520 Why does the printer always run a blank sheet before it makes a copy?

    My Photosmart 5520 always runs a blank sheet before it runs the copy/copies.  Is there a setting I can change?

    Hello Camille33,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Photosmart 5520 runs a blank sheet of paper before you copy a document. I will do my best to assist you! Just to clarify are you printing a document from your computer or copying a document directly from your printer?
    If so, then please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I want to see if this makes a difference. Next, try resetting the printer for more than 60 seconds. Leave the printer turned on, then disconnect the power cord.
    Make sure the firmware is up to date on this printer. I will provide the HP website where you can find this download here.
    I will be looking forward to hearing back from you. Have a great night!
