Extra Blank Page Printing When Duplex Printing on HP 8610

Whenever I do duplex printing, before the 1st page of the document prints, a blank page comes out of the printer. The document itself prints okay in 2 sided mode.

Welcome to the HP Community , I understand when you duplex print from your Windows Vista system, your Officejet 8610, a black page prints before the document actually prints out. I hope to help you with my suggestions. To get started, try running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. Please let me know the outcome! Try printing again now to see what happens. Also, test print from more than one program, which will tell us if the issue is within one program on your PC, or with the printer driver itself. I hope to hear from you!

Blank pages inserted during duplex printing

I just installed an OfficeJet 4500 G510g on a 64-bit Windows 7 system and configured it using the network interface. After having some initial installation problems I downloaded the latest Full Featured driver and was finally able to get everything (printer, fax, scanner) working okay. Tonight I tried my first duplex printing job and found that the output has random blank pages inserted. The first time I printed, I got page 1 on the front of the first page and the back was blank. Page 2 was on the front of the second page, page 3 on the back of that page and so forth up to another blank page between pages 6 and 7. After looking at the configuration to see if I had something set up incorrectly, I tried it again. This time I got page 1 on the front of the first page, a blank page on the back, another blank page on the front of page 2 and from then on it was correct up through page 7. I am an embedded software developer and the ability to print duplex listings is very important to me. Unfortunately, at this point I have no idea what to try next. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm hoping for an answer to this problem also. Here's what I've found so far:
"I am printing statements on a double-sided stationary capable printer. To ensure that each new statement starts on a new physical piece of paper, I need to add a blank page if the previous statement had an odd number of page sides. How can I do this?
Place an invisible boilerplate line before the repeating frame that contains your data. Give it a Page Break before and anchor it to the repeating frame. Then write a format trigger that only prints the boilerplate object (and thus the page break) if it is an odd page number. "
I've tried this but it isn't working for me. I'm using this logic for printing the page:
v_page number;
begin
srw.get_page_num(v_page);
if mod(v_page,2)=0
then
return (FALSE); --if an even page don't print
else
return (TRUE); --if an odd page do print
end if;
end;
If you find an answer I'm hoping you'll share it with me. Thanks!

New laserjet pro cp1525 ejecting extra, blank, page at end of print request. how do you stop?

Just installed a new Laserjet Pro CP 1525nw. It wants to expel a blank sheet after every print request. How do I stop it from ejecting the blank sheety at the end of the print request.

Is this only on a certain app? What about printing a windows test page or even from notepad? If these are ok then this would suggest its the page setups in the program you ate using rather than driver / printer.
If its all apps try the reports from the printer direct, if this is ok then it's probably drivers. Remove from safe mode and download updated.

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,
Narendra.

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,
Sarkar

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.

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

CS4 is adding a blank page, throwing off the printing

I am creating a 40-page booklet to be printed 2-up saddle-stitch
In the Pages layout, it says i have 40 pages in 21 spreads. 1 page on the top is the front cover and 1 page on the bottom is the back cover and 19 double-page spreads inbetween. Pages 2 and 39 are the respective inside covers. Page 1 is aligned on the right and page 40 is aligned on the left. It should be printing fine, I would think.
But in the Print Booklet-Preview Pane, it gives a message that it has added 1 blank page to creat the booklet, and it was added before page one, so I now have no back cover, and my inside covers and page layouts are all wonky now.
I noticed that in the Pages flyout there is a small square to the right of Page 40, where page 41 would be. A small square that I can't highlight.
A few more items of interest, all pages have both Allow Document Pages to Shuffle and Allow Selected Spreads to Shuffle checked.
I am at a total loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keep in mind that everyone here is a volunteer. Most of the regulars, like myself, drop in at least once a day, as we have time, and offer advice and solutions when we have them.
That said, I saw your post when it first was listed, and saw that you seemed to finding your way, and didn't have anything more to add at that point, as I suspect was the case with a lot of others. I'm sorry it never occurred to me to ask if you had any blank pages in the document, but there was nothing in the original post to suggest that, and including blank pages in a booklet print job is a pretty standard thing to do. If you know enough to have already added blanks to fix the page count, one would presume you also know enough to include them in the print job.
As far as the forum organization, we're about to go into a new version of the forum software, and many of the regulars are looking on that with some trepidation. Most of us actually LIKE the way things are now -- functional and uncluttered with extraneous nonsense like avatars and ratings points -- but it seems much of that is going to be creeping in. An attempt to unify the Adobe and Macromedia forums last year was an utter disaster, and we've all got our fingers crossed it won't happen again, but we'll be living with it no matter what as the Webcrossing contract is up and Adobe has signed on with Jive. You might want to take another look when the changeover is complete.
And, I'll repeat, these forums are probably the BEST source of FREE and accurate expert information on Adobe applications on the planet. You'll find users (and even some Adobe employees) from all over the world with vast experience in some pretty esoteric and specialized techniques. I find I still learn something new almost every week, and I've been making my living with InDesign since version 2.0 was released. I hope you'll come back if you have more questions.

When I export to a .docx file it is adding an extra blank page on to the end of my document

I completed a document in Pages. I then chose export to>Word and exported my file as a .docx file. When I open my newly created word document there is an extra blank page at the end of my document. I have tried to delete it and export again but the same thing happens. I have also tried to open a new document, cut and paste everything in and export again. When I did this it did not add the extra page but instead changed all of my formatting. Please Help!

Your printer should have a little window on the top for you to set the Language, Power Setting, Paper Size and Print Quality etc.

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."
