Every time I do a print job, My printer spits out extra blank paper. I have a HP Photosmart Premium

I have HP Photosmart Premium. Everytime I do a print job my printer spits out extra paper. Sometime it says something Like Page 2 of 2 and other time it is just blank , Some of the pages have a gray line across the bottom. I try to reuse what I can, but would like to know how to stop this.

Typically this is an error in the software connection with the printer. However, one can test this to narrow the issue down by printing a self test page or by making a copy with the printer. If the unit produces no extra pages, then most likely it is coming from the computer.
If you are USB connected, then I would advise unplugging the USB cable to the printer and restarting the PC. While the PC is restarting, I would advise performing a Hard Reset to the printer.
* Unplug printer while powered on
* Unplug other end of power cord from wall outlet
* Wait 30 seconds
* Plug unit back in for power
There is also a document with steps to troubleshoot when a printer is producing blank sheets of paper. To access the document, click here. Let me know how it goes.

Printing from firefox spits out extra blank page

When I print from Firefox my printer firsts spits out a blank page before printing what was expected.

I have a similar issue -- a page before is printed and after the actual document.
yes -- the blank page appears in preview. I was able to get rid of the first one with this CSS:
@media print {
body * { float: none !important; }
But I still get the blank page afterwards.
Not sure why, but I'll let you know if I find anything else

Hi Emilemny,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The TouchID settings will not be available until you create a passcode, see the article linked below for more information.
iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.

The Silverlight plugin crashes every time i try to watch a video at the Universal Sports website. I have uninstalled this plugin and re-enstalled it many times with no success

The Silverlight plugin crashes every time i try to watch a video at the Universal Sports website. I have uninstalled this plugin and re-enstalled it many times with no success

It doesn't matter what I do I still get the plugin to crash. I've removed every trace of Internet Explorer in the registry. Download fresh versions of Mozilla and Silverlight. I uninstalled both of them and cleaned any lingering files. Reinstalled Mozilla, and Silverlight. Same error. No more movies for me. :>/ See entry below.

Pinter won't print; can't cancel failed print job; cannot print anything

If I try to cancel a print job, the printer dialog box claims the print job is being deleted, but it never is. The only nway I can get rid of the message and clean up the print queue is to reinstall the printer. This is absurd. HP's help is anything but. What is the problem. I have a Deklsjet 1660.

Debra,

Officejet 6500: All print jobs (except copies) come out with black smudged background. Fixes?

I have an Officejet 6500.: All print jobs (except copies) come out with dark black smudged background and the text is also smudged. Any suggestions? Thx

FYI, for Black not printing on OJ 6500 ...
If the printer is out of warranty it may be worth following the suggestion in this post re. soaking the Printhead. Note it's important to switch the printer off at the Power button rather than just plugging out at the wall (as otherwise the Printhead won't get capped properly and may dry out)

I have problems with my macbook pro ... I recently bought "OS X Lion Mountain" but complete installation did not work ... purchases every time when I look biem appstore is still installed ... so now I have OS X version 10.8.3 ...

does it say not installed or does it say "download" in app store purchases?
if it say's download, then it's there for future use if you need to download it again.
see image below - i'm running Mountain Lion and it say's download in my App Store.
