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?

This appears to be an end-user problem. The better place for you to ask is in the "Communities":

The MSDN forums target programming problems. There are fewer people here who can help you and the answer you get is likely to be in "code speak".

  • Blank page printed every other page

    i have a laserjet 2430tn and work at a doctors office. There are two printable options, regular printing and prescription printing. The problem is relevant to the prescription printing only. On our scripts, everytime we print out, a blank page comes out in between every printed page. How to correct?

    Flrgurl32,
    I keep coming back to this one.  Alas, I don't know the answer.  I wish I did.  If it were just the pages in between in document printing, it would easier to diagnose; the envelopes caper is a bit disconcerting.
    Do check the margins in the document.  If you are off by a even little bit, the printer will add a page.
    If this is Word, try copying the document over to WordPad and making a copy that way. 
    Envelopes spitting out.  ??  You could try resetting the printer..
    Reset the printer.  Not sure which is the Reset on on this printer (not the expert and I've bee corrected before on this for a couple of the models), Here are two kinds:
    1)  If there is a keypad, turn it off, then on and press # and 6 (keep pressed while turning on printer).
    2)  no keypad?  Unplug while on, leave unplugged 30 seconds to a minute.  Plug back in.  (Be careful with this one - don't risk shock.)
    It is my pleasure to assist.

  • OfficeJet 6500 prints blank fax page after every other fax page

    How can I stop the printer from printing a blank page after every other incoming fax. If the fax is 5 pages, I get 10 (5 of which are blank). Tried HP support, and they can't fix this.

    Sorry that you are experiencing this issue with printing blank pages. This can be a issue with the print head. You can try to clean the print head with a lint free cloth and water. 
    Another thing would be to perform a hard reset on the printer. Unplug the power cord from the back. Leave it out for 30 seconds and plug it back in. 
    See if you can print a self-test page or printer status report.
    Let me know what happens.

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet.

  • How can I print every other page rather than every page?

    I want to print certain pages of documents because some have information on page that I don't need. But I can't find a way to select certain pages (like 1,3). The print add-on mentioned in another question didn't work ... didn't even given an option to select pages. Chrome and Explorer both give this option. Why not on Firefox? There must be a way to do it without having to add in something. This is pretty basic.

    Your question is no way related to Firefox OS. That's why as a moderator I moved it to '''Firefox for Desktop'''. For some reason that I don't know why... It was asked in the '''Firefox OS''' product. Another volunteer or paid staff member will respond to you shortly. The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
    If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.
    If not, please be patient as this issue was posted in the wrong product forum therefore, moving it back puts it back in its place so you can get the proper support that you need regarding printing every other page.

  • HP 7280 outputs a blank page before every page printed

    Newly-installed 7280 works fine, but everytime something is printed, it outputs a blank page before every printed page.  This is true whether printing from Word, IE, Outlook, Quicken, Photoshop, etc.
    I have checked all likely culprits in the printer dialog boxes, including clearing the Separator Page option.
    Any thoughts?

    are your computers running windows XP or Vista? because in Vista, if it uses the pre-installed drivers that come with the OS, then it prints blank sheets between the printed sheets. if you install the driver from the CD directly, then it has resolved the issue a lot of times for me.
    so to the properties of the printer, and go to the Advanced Tab, and click in New Driver. and in teh wizard, select HP Photosmart 'C7200' and not Photosmart '7200' (considering it is the Photosmart C7280). that should work.

  • Issues when printing a website of multiple pages, only prints every other page

    I have recently started using Firefox as since using windows 8 have found a few problems with explorer.
    I sell a great deal on ebay and in order to print my invoices, ebay create a webpage with all of them on.
    I have attempted to print this through firfox and it only seemed to print every other page fully(1,3,5,7 etc.)
    Pages 2,4,6 etc. would have just the first couple of text lines on but nothing else, it even shows it like this on the print preview. can you help?

    Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

  • When I closed out of yahoo email, get a blank page on every tab if any are opened. I have to exit out & restart firefox . It does not happen w/any other browser.

    When I sign off on yahoo email. I get a blank page on every tab if any are opened. I have to exit out & restart firefox . It does not happen w/any other browser. I have no malware or viruses. Please advise.

    Actually, it's not obvious & common sense would dictate that users' bookmarks would not be left stuck to random computers even once they've logged out of the account. No one wants that if it's a public work computer or if they're traveling & use an Internet cafe. As I am not the only one who has noticed this issue or had bookmarks disappear/be deleted, in addition, common sense would indicate it's not really a very good system. And carrying around a flashdrive to run Firefox off of it is a good solution? Really? Just curious why a useful feature such as being able to login & use your preferences & bookmarks & then logging out removes your preferences when you're gone hasn't been developed. Yahoo keeps my preferences when I logout (it's called My Yahoo!). Maybe a My Firefox or My Chrome solution could be developed.

  • Not printing every other line

    The printer is printing every other line (leaving every other line blank).
    Please help.

    Sorry that you are having a problem with the print quality. 
    See if you can print a self-test page or status report. Let me know if the same things happens. 
    Have you cleaned the print heads?
    Make a copy of a document, and see if you still get every other line printing.

    If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
    to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
    version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
    likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
    G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
    which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
    The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
    A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    {With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
    things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
    There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
    or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
    from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
    as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
    is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
    a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
    specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
    do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
    You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
    when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
    and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
    labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
    sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
    or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
    that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
    Good luck!

    Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, isn't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen.  Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document.  Any ideas?

    Figured it out.  It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat.  Here's the fix:
    Open Finder/Applications
    Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
    Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
    Quit Safari
    Launch Safari
    Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.

  • Blank Page prints even though "Suppress Printing If No Records" option is t

    Blank Page prints even though "Suppress Printing If No Records" option is thicked.
    My environment:
    Crystal Report Developer Full version 11.5.11.1470
    Windows Server 2003 SP2 32-bit.
    We have a third party vendor application written in Java -let's call it "print deamon", but my company doesn't have access to the source code.
    The print deamon essentially listens to the core application which is located remotely, receive some print instructions such as label name, printer name, crystal reports version (8.5 or 11) and a few parameters that are passed to the crystal report template.
    When the version is Crystal Reports 11 and the template is open and query is executed (using Oracle JDBC) and if the template's query does not retrieve any rows, a blank page still prints even though the option to suppress printing is thicked.
    With Crystal Reports 8.5 version, we have no issues.
    recycling the blank page is not an option in our high volume print environment, these paper and labels are wasted big time, third party vendor says this is an issue with crystal reports XI api.
    These are some of the libraries the Print Deamon uses:

    Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
    Once updated you can then go to the Keycode site and get a XI R2 keycode to enable oll of the features.

    If you already have an older version of Flash Player, open the Preference pane and select Check Now... under the Update portion under the General tab:
    You shouldn't have to install a new version from the website (I'm not even sure if you can) if you've already installed Flash Player.
