HP 6510 printing only blank pages after changing print cartridges

Hi,
My HP 6510 is printing only blank pages after I installed new print ink cartridges. I tried cleaning the print heads, aligning the printer... which did result in some pages printing with a little color (but it seemed "off" to me). That said, when I try to print a regular document from my PC it only prints a blank page. 
I can't seem to figure this one out on my own - please help!
Thanks!
Chloe

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6510.  Be sure the cartridges are vented as shown in solution two.
Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.

    Could be a number of issues.  First could be a bad or not connecting transfer rollers which moves the toner from the drum to the paper.  Only way to test is a half test by putting paper on the manual tray and printing a self test.  When the back edge enters the printer, open the toner door to stop printing.  Remove the toner and flip back the cover over the toner drum to see if there is any image on the drum.  If image is present then it could be transfer roller issues.  Use the service manual and look under engine diagnostics in the index and it will direct you to a page that shows how to perform an engine test.  Do the test to see if you get a sheet of paper with lines on it.  If you get lines, then the issue could be the formatter.  If no lines and the shutter has been removed then I would think you are having high voltage issues.  You may have to bring the printer in for service.

  • Photosmart All in one C4780 Printer prints only blank pages, connected to a MacBook Pro

    My Photosmart C4780 all in one printer which is connected by USB to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 prints only blank pages, and no text; I have turned it on and off; disconnected and reconnected; uninstalled the HP software and reloaded and updated drivers, firmware and patches.  The scan function works and scans the document to my Mac.  The copy function also does not work; when I press the OK function next to the copy icon, nothing happens

    Hi mpmehta
    I understand you are not able to print in black and the copy function isn't working.
    I will be happy to assist you with this.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
    Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or
    software issue. Click Here.
    I have included a document for not being able to print in black.
    Here is a document for the copy function not working.
    If you require further assistance please provide the following so I can assist you better.
    Did the configuration page print?
    Any black print on the page?
    What are the ink levels?
    Are you getting a error when trying to copy?
    Please let me know the results.

  • Double sided printing, adding blank page after two different groups

    Post Author: adepper
    CA Forum: General
    I have created a report that is structured as such:
    Group 1 - Based on formula, groups by type
    Group 2 - Based on formula, groups by use
    Group 3 - use (pulled directly from Database)
    Group 4 - ID
    I have the report printing an extra page after group 3.  I used this formula in the Section Expert - New Page After
    remainder(pagenumber,2)=0
    I also use that formula to reset the page number
    What I would like to do is print a second blank page if group 2 does not start on the top of the page, meaning I do not want either group 3 or group 2 to start on the back of a page, so that this report can be placed in a binder, with dividers.
    I have group 3 giving me a blank page with no issues, it is just group 2.
    Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated.  If I did not give enough details, I am sorry.
    Thanks!

    After a lot of blood, sweat and tears, not to mention a lot of curse words directed at the computer, I was able to get this to work.  Now I just have to do it for three groupings instead of two (deliver the impossible to your bosses, and they turn around and move the brass ring right out of reach again!)
    In case anyone is interested in how I was able to manage this (I found many sites where people asked this question, but not one complete answer), this is what I did:
    In the footer section:
    Group 4 - ID (database field)
    Group 3 - PrimeUse (database field)
        3a - Contains data
        3b - Contains data
        3c - New Page After, Keep Together, and Reset Page Number After are all checked.  In the condition for Reset Page Number After I also have this formula:
        remainder(pagenumber,2)=0
        3d - New Page After, Keep Together, and Reset Page Number After are all checked.  In the condition for New Page After I have this formula:
        remainder(pagenumber,2)=0
    Group 2 - Suppressed
    Group 1 - Grouped by Store Type -
        1a - Suppressed, New Page After and Keep Together are all checked.
        1b - New Page After and Keep Together are checked.  In the condition for New Page After I have to following formula:
        remainder(totalpagecount,2)=1
    If anyone sees any errors, or if you think you can get it so that I get another page blank, after Group 1, if the Group starts on an even numbered page, I would appreciate the help.
    Thanks!

  • Why does the HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plusw sometimes print only blank pages yet sometimes works fine?

    The subject line pretty much explains it.  Sometimes I can't print at all, just getting sheet after sheet of blank pages from the printer, even if I tell the printer to cancel printing.
    Sometimes it works just fine.
    Today was one of the blank page days.  Help! 
    Thanks!

    Let's start by resetting the printer.  Turn it off, hold the # and 6 keys while and a bit after turning it back on.
    What router brand/model are you using?  What operating system on your computer?

  • SapsScript Header is printed on all pages after change

    Hello Experts,
    I have made some changes to a sapscript. I added some output data to the header and expanded the lines by 3 LN. Now when I print the header is printed on all pages, but I only want it to be printed on the first... Any idea what could have done this?
    best regards B

    Hi,
    The problem occurred because you have changed the variable window and what ever is mentioned in the variable window gets triggered when a new page gets triggered.
    So.....
    Change the Header lines what you have added, to main window from the variable window.
    This will definitely solve the problem.

  • Safari for windows printing only blank pages

    Safari for Windows 5.1.1 will only print blank pages from my PC. Every other app prints perfectly to my networked printer and the printer shows up in Safari, but nothing on the paper. Any help??

    Never was able to fix it, Juan. Safari just would not print on my Windows computer.
    But I finally found another solution. I've switched from Windows computers to Macs and now I have none of those compatibility issues. I do have a few others from time to time, but no more Windows issues.
    Buena suerte amigo

  • Hp 3510 prints only blank pages from i-pad, but works fine with xp configured lap top. why? help!

    i have an hp3510 wireless printer that worked fine with both my i-pad and on my laptop when 1st installed.  now it will only print blank pages with the i-pad although it still works fine when using my xp configured laptop.  can anyone tell me how to correct the i-pad problem so that i can print wirelessly using that device?
    thanks!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I would start by powering down the Apple device, make sure that you hold the power button down, and slide the bar on the screen to "Off". If you have more that 1 iOS device that you use with the printer (like another iPad or an iPhone) power them down at the same time. Then turn them all back on and try to print to the printer.
    If still having a problem, I would then power down the printer, router, and Apple device.
    1. Unplug the router, (most do not have an on/off button)
    2. power down printer and Apple device
    3. Wait about 20-30 seconds
    4. Plug router back in and wait for it to be fully operational and all the light on it back as they were before unplugging it.
    5.Power printer and apple device back on (check to settings of iPad to make sure that it is still on the same network as printer and that "Ask to join other networks" is ON).
    6. Reattempt to print

  • XDC - print a empty page after the print job

    Hi Folks,
    i have a problem. i use a xdc file to select multiple trays and after the printing job an additional separator sheet should be "printed" . Its only a empty sheet, which should be at the end of the printjob.
    Could somebody give me a hint? I checked the pcl commands and i got the idea to send a line feed and carriage return command, but im not sure whats happen and if this is possible, could i select the tray for this?
    Thanks a lot for any Idea or Tip,
    kind regards
    Alex

    Wasil, thanks for the response, but i havent found any info to do a separator sheet in this link. I know that i have to do this in the xdc, but i dont know how. I found a plc command to do this, but the problem is that i not understand how to fill this in the xdc.
    Here ist the Part from my XDC File. Ok, its possible that this is at the wrong point, but im sure i have an error in the escaping.
    The Printer i use is a Ricoh MP5002sp. I only found the escaping like i did, but i get a pdf generation error with this part:
       <seq id="postDoc"><ESC/>%-12345X@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY=""&#13;&#10;<ESC/>H1B\L%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL&#13;&#10;<ESC/>H1B\L&l4H&#13;&#10;<ESC/>H1B\L&l1T\0&#13;&#10;<ESC/>M\B\S\N\U &#13;&#10;<ESC/>U\LJob : \I&#13;&#10;<ESC/>U\LDate: \D&#13;&#10;<ESC/>U\LTime: \T&#13;&#10;<ESC/>E&#13;&#10;</seq>
    The PLC commands i foun on a website looks like this:
    \H1B\L%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL    <-- Puts printer into PCL mode
    \H1B\L&l1H    <-- This command pulls the sep sheet from Tray 2
    \H1B\L&l1T\0    <-- Job Reset. Sets USTATUS counters etc,
    \M\B\S\N\U    <-- Prints user name in large characters
    \U\LJob : \I    <-- Prints spool ID number
    \U\LDate: \D   <-- Prints date
    \U\LTime: \T    <-- Prints time
    \E    <-- Exits banner page and begins actual print job
    But in my case it will be enough to select the tray and "print" the empty sheet...
    thanks a lot for your your help...and it could be a easy task...but it looks like im a "dau" :-)

  • 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.

  • Printer dispenses a blank page after every printing!

    Suddenly my printer is dispensing a blank sheet of paper after almost every printing. Oddly, the only thing unusual I've done, relating to the hp printer,  is downloading the HP Printer Assistant and the HP Printer and Scan Doctor! I've checked all relative settings and nothing seems out of the ordinary or different.

    Hi @ibgb 
    Another user recently posted what he/she tried to resolve this same issue. Perhaps it might work for you too;
     I reset my top and bottom margins and test printed and scanned and it did not put out any blank sheets.  - Source
    If this doesn't resolve the issue, please try the following;
    1. Touch the Windows key on the keyboard to get to the start screen, then without clicking anything type Devices and Printers, and tap or click the Devices and Printers icon.
    2. Right click on the printer icon and click on printer properties.
    3. Then click on Advance Tab, and click on the Separator Page tab.
    4. A small windows open with the location of the file. Delete the path, click ok to save the settings.
    I hope this helps.

  • Printing only blank pages and Page setup dialog box is black

    When I go to firefox - Print - Print preview - Page setup OR
    Firefox - Print - page setup
    This dialogue box is black. I can't move or adjust it. Nothing is on that screen.
    When I print a webpage (ctrl P, or Firefox, print) nothing is printing.
    I tried a suggestion of resetting by following the instructions here. That did not work.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer

    I just experienced this problem, and stumbled upon the cause and the fix. When I went to "File" and then "Print Preview" I was getting a "black" screen where the preview should have been. I tried the suggested fixes related to about:config printer settings and add-on's, etc... but it did not help.
    Then, I looked at the "Page Set-up" when I was on the "Print Preview" page. The bottom margin (for whatever strange reason... have no clue) was set at a huge number of inches... like 43801.4 or some such. I changed it back to 0.3 inches... fixed it. Can print just fine now.
    So... if all else fails: check your margin settings on page set-up.

  • Failure to print alignment page after changing ink cartridge

    I just replaced the tricolor ink cartridge in my ENVY 5530 printer and after installing the new cartridge the unit is stuck in a loop of "Now printing alignment page..."  however there is no noise indicating that the page is being fed.  Attempts to cancel the action also result in a prolonged  "Cancelling ..." but with no action. Based on other comments in this forum I have:unplugged the unit.removed all ink cartridgesRestarted the unit - where in I receive a message that I should use the power off button to prevent damage to the unit.reinstalled the cartridgesAttempted to print the alignment pageHowever the cycle simply repeats itself.Any assistance would be appreciated - the unit was functioning perfectly fine before it simply ran low on ink and used the ink cartridge sent by HP Ink service as the replacement unit. Many thanks in advance. 

    Hi SolomonI, Welcome to the HP Forums.  I see that you are having an issue after you have installed new ink. I see that you have done numerous steps in the attempt to resolve this issue. You stated that you unplugged the unit from the power source.  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. One thing to try is to by pass the alignment page and see if the unit will print from a copy or print from the computer. Let me know how you make out.  I will be happy to research other options if needed.  Cheers,     

  • Safari reader prints only blank page

    Da qualche giorno l'applicazione Reader, pur visualizzandomi la pagina, al momento della stampa stampa solo pagine bianche.
    Come posso rimediare?
    Ho già provato a reinstallare Safari, ma non è cambiato nulla.
    Grazie

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
