Printer sends extra blank pages

I have an HP all in one Photosmart C7280.  Recently, the printer started sending a blank page after ever printed page.  This happens whether I am sending a single page document or a multipage document.  It happens whether I am printing from any of my software products or from a downloading web document.
Any ideas??

This may be overly simplistic, or not apply.
The same thing has happened to me in the past within office, and I realized what was happening. If I was to create a document, and thereafter remove text, I would get a blank page as supplemental to the printed one. What I realized was that I needed to set the cursor at the end of the text, and delete everything beyond. This way, in some instances, I had one less page than I started with, and the printer only produced pages with text and no extra. I don't know if this will help you or not. I'm waiting for someone to help me with my issue and happened to run across yours. Good luck either way.

  • Printing an extra blank page at last in the report with result!

    Dear Team,
    I have one report  ZFI_KKKKK  i.e working fine with the result.
    The problem is that this report prints an extra blank page in the end of the report.
    It should not print the extra empty page. Itu2019s a bit annoying for some users.
    If you execute and print this and you will get a page with results and a blank page with just the title.
    Any input from your side to rectify the issue?
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How can I stop Address Book (Lion) from printing an extra blank page when I print an envelope

    Whenever I print a mailing envelope in Lion's Address Book, it prints fine but then prints a blank page following. How can I stop this?

    HP printers for years have had a problem printing an extra envelope from the Apple Addressbook Application with the # 10 envelope.
    Solution: Select a #9  envelop.  This prints about the same size and does not have an extra envelop.
    How to: From Address book, select print, Style: Envelopes, Layout: Layout pulldown Official 9 then print
    Interestingly the two smaller and two larger sizes only print one envelope. You can test this by clicking pdf and open pdf in preview.
    Over the years I have called HP and they couldn't solve the problem.
    I have told Apple today when I figures out the workaround.

  • Hp 932c printer sends a blank page after printing. Win7. suddenly started doing this.

    This suddenly started a couple of days ago.

    Hi there lonelyshepard,
    Just to make sure this is not software related lets try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • Getting One Extra Blank Page

    Hi All,
    I am printing labels thru smartforms. For eg.  my internal tablei have 3 line items
    so these 3 should be printed in 3 different labels. And I am getting the correct output also. But after that 3 label prints one extra blank page is coming.
    What could be the reason.
    I have used loop for the data.
    loop - for showing continuous data.
    program line - used to calculate number of entries i have in the table. I have already counted the total entry in my print program
                           and passing it thru Form interface-import parameters.
    command line - for explicit page break in the table after each line item.
    Kindly guide what could be the reason for this blank page.
    Thanks,
    Pradeep

    If you run a page break after each line, it is normal that a blank page is published at the end. Do not ececute page break on the last record

    Raymond

  • Print extra blank pages & problem receiving faxes

    Hi -- My Photosmart C7280 All-In-One begins most printing jobs by printing out a blank page. Also, if I'm printing multiple pages, many of them will be blank (but the document prints in entirety) It doesn't matter if I'm printing a Word document (which I know has a conflict with HP, and which I also know does not have a blank second page at the end), or an attachment to an e-mail, or information from a web page, or even pritnting an envelope.  In fact, I have to let the envelope roll through blank, wait for the error message that there is no paper in the tray, then shoot it through again before I'll receive a printed envelope. Also, if I'm copying multiple pages I'll receive the extra blank pages, but not if I'm copying pages one at a time.
    Also, I used to be able to receive a fax automatically.  The call would go to my recorded message.  As soon as it ended, the incoming fax was recognized and it would print.  It doesn't do that any more.  I have to manually pick up the receiver of the phone before the machine will begin receiving the fax.
    My HP printer is on a network.  I can't remember if it still worked or not after we placed it on the network.  Also, I recently downloaded IE 8. 
    This has been frustrating me for months, but have not had the time to seek help till now.

    I have the same problem - print a document and a few seconds later a blank page comes out....  Any ideas?

  • HP L7680 printing extra blank pages

    I had repeated issues with LHP 7680 printing extra blank pages.  Tried the "new driver" fix and that didn't work.  Found the fix:  Go to Start, Control Panel, Printers and Faxes, RIGHT CLICK the L7680 Printer, click on Properties, click on Advanced tab.  "Spool print documents...." is selected.  Change the selection to PRINT DIRECTLY TO PRINTER.  Tested and resolved the issue when printing Word and Excel docs

    Try this...
    1. Go to the Printers folder and right click on the printer icon, then select ‘Run as Administrator’, and select ‘Properties’.
    2. Click on the ‘Advanced’ tab, and click on the ‘New Driver’ button.
    3. When you have to select the printer driver, select the ‘Have Disk’ button and point it to the installation CD or the ‘7zSxxx’ folder and install it from here. Or you can look under the ‘Manufacturers’ list and select ‘Hewlett-Packard’ instead of ‘HP’, and then select the appropriate printer driver.
    4. Complete the wizard, then apply the settings by pressing the ‘Apply’ button. Try printing again, and the issue should not reoccur.
    Also, are you using Windows Vista?

  • SAP is printing extra blank page

    When i print from windows server/print server/host printer the print is normal but when i print from SAP application an extra blank page is created. Please share solution if anyone have come across similar/same issue.
    Thank you,
    Narendra.

    Hi All,
        Thanks for your support and patience. The issue has been resolved. Please find the Solution below:
    The TCP/IP printer’s network settings by typing in the printer’s IP address in your windows internet explorer.
    When connecting to the printer’s IP address: on internet explorer, you able to see the printer’s configuration settings. By clicking on the configuration link on the left menu and selecting the “Networking” Tab, at the bottom of the screen there is an option for ‘LPD Banner Page.’ The current setting for this option is ‘enable.’ the LPD option is set to ‘enable’ by default. Therefore, this option needs to be manually ‘disabled’ after the printer is set up
    Thank you,

  • Smartforms - Extra Blank Page in DUPLEX mode

    Hello Friends,
    I am printing my smartforms in DUPLEX page mode. Its printing fine but i am getting an extra blank page.
    Searched the forum but no luck.
    I have defined 3 pages Page1, PAGE_INST,Page2. I need to print instructions(say) on back of each page.
    I had set page1 to duplex mode 'D' and next page to blank.
    My pages flow is in the following way:
    page1>Page INST>Page2
    Page 1 & 2 have main windows and have a command to print PAGE_INST.
    Page_INST Does not has main window.
    Page1 : next Page 2.
    Page INST : Next page is Page 2.
    Page2 : is a continuation of page 1 next window is blank(or page 2)
    Its printing fine in Duplex but always there is a blank sheet in the print out at last page.
    Can someone help me how to avoid the last blank page.
    Thanks

    HI Hari,

  • Implementing multiple page size requirement - extra blank page at the end

    My XMLP report requirement is as follows.
    - The report is printing a bunch of lines.
    - Based on data and layout requirement, lines are grouped into page where they belong (due to complex logic for determining which page a line should go to...this is done in PL/SQL package that is called in the beginning of the RDF trigger)
    - The first page needs to be printed on Legal size paper
    - Subsequent pages (IF NEEDED) need to be printed on Letter size paper
    So some report will have a 1-page output (legal size), and some will have multiple pages (1st page should be legal size, subsequent on letter size).
    Here is a sample XML data:
    <REPORT>
    <LIST_G_PAGE_NUMBER>
    <G_PAGE_NUMBER>
    <PAGE_NUMBER>1</PAGE_NUMBER>
    <LIST_G_LINE>
         <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
         <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
    </LIST_G_LINE>
    </G_PAGE_NUMBER>
    <G_PAGE_NUMBER>
    <PAGE_NUMBER>2</PAGE_NUMBER>
    <LIST_G_LINE>
         <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
         <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
    </LIST_G_LINE>
    </G_PAGE_NUMBER>
    <G_PAGE_NUMBER>
    <PAGE_NUMBER>3</PAGE_NUMBER>
    <LIST_G_LINE>
         <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
         <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
    </LIST_G_LINE>
    </G_PAGE_NUMBER>
    </LIST_G_PAGE_NUMBER>
    </REPORT>
    For this, I created 2-pages RTF template and using the Word Page Setup feature:
    1. First page setup is legal size (go to Page Setup, Paper tab, choose Letter and choose Apply to "Whole Document").
    The first page has the following XMLP tag:
    <?for-each: G_PAGE_NUMBER?>
    <?if: PAGE_NUMBER=1?><?call:body?><?end if?>
    <?end for-each?>
    <?template:body?>
    for-each loop that prints lines in a tabular format
    <?end template?>
    2. Second page setup is letter size (go to Page Setup, Paper, choose Letter and choose Apply to "This point forward").
    <?for-each: G_PAGE_NUMBER?>
    <?if: PAGE_NUMBER>1?><?call:body?><-- Ctrl-Break to insert a page break here --> <?end if?>
    <?end for-each?>
    It almost worked, except there is a blank page printed at the end. How do I remove the blank page? I have tried to use <?split-by-page-break:?> instead of the Ctrl-Break, but it did not seem to work (there is no page break happening at all).
    I think the extra page is due to the multiple page nature of the RTF template. Is there a way to control the page size through XMLP tag (or XSL-FO). With that, I can try having a single page template and put the page size control within the XMLP / XSL-FO tag and hope that the extra blank page at the end will go away. Can someone please help?
    Thank you!

    Sorry for the typo in my previous post... I meant Ctrl-Enter (not Ctrl-Break).

  • SSRS 2008 Report with two tablix have extra blank pages

    I am working on a report in SSRS 2008 that has two tables (or tablices?). My report is set to a width of 11 and height of 8.5, left and right margins of 0.25, top and bottom margins of 0.5. Paper size is Letter, Orientation is landscape.
    With margins accounted for, I basically have 10.5 of workspace for the Body. The first tablix's width is way under 10.5 but the second tablix has lots of columns and would have to span two pages so the Body goes past 10.5 but I
    kept it under 22 (twice one page).  I put a PageBreak after the first tablix. When I run the report and do a Print Layout, the first tablix prints with a blank page after every printed page of that table. The second tablix prints just fine, no extra
    blank pages in between. So I suspect that it is the "empty space" to the right of the first tablix, which is caused by the second tablix's width, that is the problem.
    However when I tried to switch the tables in my report and have the wider tablix print first and the narrower tablix print after it, I did not get any extra blank pages on both; the reports prints just fine.
    Unfortunately, I cannot have the wider tablix print first with the report I need. I would like to know if this is a bug in SSRS 2008? It appears that there is something with the order report objects are printed and their size. Has anyone figured this out
    yet?  Thanks.

    I found
    this post on the MSDN forum that offers the following solutions that worked for a few people responding to that thread.  You might want to try one of these:
    "I found the problem cause.  In Reporting Services, report body width must be <= (report width - report margins width).I reduced the margins to zero width, and the pagination problem disappeared!"
    "I have solved my problem. With SSRS you must be very careful with the way you place objects
    Growing objects will push those on their right, even if they are not on the same line /!\
    Consider a textbox 2 inches large centered, and a growing matrix beneath it. on the left, 1 inch large. At run time the matrix will grow and the title will be pushed aside. And this may cause blank pages.
    A workaround is to create 1 rectangle per object. The rectangle should occupy all the body space available while objects occupy only a part of their embedding rectangle."

  • 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!!

  • Page Break-An extra blank page as the last page.

    I have a template with a page break (<?split-by-page-break:?>) at the end of the template prior to the end of loop <?end for-each?>. This is causing an extra blank page at the end everytime the report is run. I checked this forum and got some pointers and used couple of them but didn't get the blank page to go!
    I tried this in my page break filed! <?if:position()!=last()?><?split-by-page-break:?><?end if?>
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    Hi, ive faced a similar problem in the past, I worked around it using subtemplates, but it still gives out an extra blank page if the content on the last page comes within 3 lines of the bottom of the page.. otherwise its ok..if you could send me your template and a sample xml file at domnic26ATgmail, i will see what i can do to help.

  • HP 4620 Scanning too many pages; Extra blank pages ???

    My 4620 Fax/Scan/Print/Copy will not scan correctly. I put one page to scan to my computer adn it scans 20 + pages. No matter how many pages I put in it always scans extra blank pages. I have reset the machine, I have realligned the machine and nothing works. Doe anyone know how I can fix this problem??
    Thank you,
    Mel

    Hello Mel7777,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the printer scanning multiple blank pages.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Please be sure to power cycle the unit with the ON/OFF button after you have connected the power cable to the wall outlet.  This will do a semi power reset on the unit.
    So I can better assist you, please respond with which Operating System you are running.
    Which Windows Operating System am I running?
    Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.
