HP c309a printing blank pages from new Dell Win8 laptop

I have a c309a installed on the network via LAN to the router.  It works fine with Win-Vista and Win-7 computers wired and wirelessly connected to the network.
A new Dell laptop with Win-8 is connecting to printer, but nothing but blank pages comes out of the printer - even when trying to print a test page from Printer Properties in Windows.
I have tried to istall the complete HP printer software from the HP website, also via HP Print and Scan Doctor, which din in fact install on the laptop, as well as from the disc that came with the printer - but in vain.  I have downdoaded the software repeatedly. It runs the file extraction, but nothing happens when done.  Not even an error message.  When attempting to run setup.exe from the disc, nothing happens either. The disc runs for little while, then stops.  No error massage in this case either.
I have removed the free McAfee security program that came with the laptop, in the hope that it was terminating the installation, but to no avail.
Please help!   

Hi viben,
I understand you are having issues installing the HP software on your new Dell with Windows 8, and that you can not print from the windows 8 machine as you get only blank pages. Please try the following steps and let me know how it works out.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box, type %temp%
Delete all files and folders from the temp folder. Choose skip if any pop ups appear saying any of the files could not be deleted
Download the software and choose to save as, save to desktop > HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One C309 Series Full Feature Software and Driver
After the software downloads and extracts, open the temp folder again, use the instructions from step 1.
Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
Open folder Util
Open folder CCC
If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have anon-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.

    My HP printer prints blank pages from my documents.  When I print any other pages it prints fine.  Thank you

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?

  • HP printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages

    My HP all in one printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages documents, prints ok from anything else.  Any ideas? Have deleted and readded printer removed HP software reinstalled software from Apple etc. Help please!

    If this just happens from these two programs, it's most likely a driver conflict.  If typically using an alternate driver will alow you to get around this.  To try this, add the printer's que to the Mac.  Click the dropdown next to Use and choose a driver that's not for your printer.  Typically the best one to try is another Photosmart dirver, but Deskjet drivers will work as well.  I would make the instructions a bit more clear, but I don't have access to a 10.6 Mac.  Let me know if this works or not.

  • HP PSC 2175 All-in-one prints blank pages from word, chrome and notes

    My HP all-in-one printer PSC 2175 all-in-one has suddenly decided to print blank pages.
    So far I've tried printing from Word, Notes and Photoshop but come up with nothing. 
    It prints test pages and diagnostic pages without any problems and it makes direct copies without problems.
    The diagnostic tool can't find anything wrong. 
    I've run all the software I could find on Swedish HP. 
    I've reinstalled the printer, reinstalled Word, repaired Windows, nothing helps.
    I have Windows XP, fully updated.
    Any suggestions?

  • Hp 6510 prints fine from laptop but only prints blank pages from ipad

    Printer prints fine from my laptop but will only spit out blank pages from my ipad.  It used to print fine from the ipad.

    RESOLVED!!!!
    I called HP regarding this issue, and was connected with a very nice woman out of India, Lola, who resolved the problem for both my Google Nexus 7 tablet running android 4.4.4 and also my iphone 5s.  Its the printer, and its wi-fi connection, along with the app.
    Here were the steps to resolve:
    1. Make absolutely sure you dont have a cable going into your printer from your router or modem.  Then make sure your connected to wi-fi if on your printer if you did.  (If you had a cable connected, re-run the wi-fi setup wizard for your printer, preferably on the printer itself, not your computer.
    2. Sounds crazy, but verify your wi-fi is actually on.  Click on the wi-fi button on your printer, and you should also have a light that signals your wi -fi is actually connected (at least on the Officejet 6700 that I am using, it does).
    3. Make sure you still have HP Eprint on your phone and/or tablet.  Check that you have your settings correct in your HP Eprint setup options, including the email address you want to use for your account.  If you don't, you will need to enter it, then click activate on HP Eprint.  It will send you a code via email. Copy/paste the code into the HP Eprint setup.
    4. Once you're sure you have your printer re-connected to wi-fi correctly, and no cables attached; resart your printer, and re-start your phone/tablet.  Once everything has re-booted its time to test....
    5. Test Printing: First test printing drictly from HP Eprint's app, selecting a file... then test using a webpage from your browser, to ensure its running correctly through Airprint (which is best, secondary is Google Cloud Print).
    If you are still having trouble, re-boot everything again, double check your wi-fi on your printer, and that you have your settings correct in your HP Eprint from above.  If that doesn't work for you, call HP at (855) 785-2777 and select HP EPrint for assistance.
    Good Luck & Happy Printing!

  • Printing blank pages from Safari

    Trying to print a page from the web on Safari.  When print preview opens it shows a blank page.  I've tried to save as a PDF with the same results.  This is getting frustrating.  I shouldn't have to import things into preview or Adobe to print form the web.  Any suggestions?

    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.

  • Safari Printing: Prints blank pages from Safari

    I can print from Word and other applications, but it just prints blank white pages from Safari- everything in Safari- not just e-mail.
    Already reset Safari
    Already downloaded Mac updates
    Help!

    I found one possible work around. I too tried to print a multipage TV schedule from Safari. Printed first page and then multiple blank pages. Tried saving the schedule to PDF and Preview did the same thing. . .printed first page and then blank pages.
    Finally opened the PDF file with Adobe Reader and it all printed out just fine. Hope this helps until Safari is fixed.
    BTW I just upgraded to tiger and then 10.4.3. Before upgrading I deleted all the HP 6110 software and rebooted. Then I upgraded to Tiger and ran the Combo 10.4.3 updater. Then I configured my 6110 using the Tiger installed drivers and it printed fine. Then I downloaded and installed the current HP software and installed that. Everything works perfectly, scanning docs and pictures, coping and regular printing.

  • Printing blank pages from Windows

    I used Bonjour successfully to set up a PC on my network to print via the USB attached to my Airport Express. Now, however, all I get is a blank sheet of paper fed through the printer when I attempt to print from the PC. Coincidentally, I installed Parallels Desktop for Windows and used Bonjour to set up the printer--apparently successfully. Again, though, all I get is one or two blank pages. Obviously both the PC and Parallels are communicating with the printer but I cannot discover why they are not printing. The three Macs on my network all print without problem to the same HP psc 2510. Any help would be appreciated.

    Try install all updates for Windows and check for update for latest version of your printer's software.
    Try run a test print and check if it works.
    Also check the cartridge and make sure they are okay.

  • PC users print blank pages from Interactive PDF

    Hi,
    We have an interactive pdf that was created in Indesign CS6 on a Mac. It prints fine on all our printers. But our PC users either get an error message that they need to choose a printer, printer not found, or it prints mostly blank pages.
    "This is what one user told me...If I indicate to print page 1 only.  It prints with no problem.  If I indicate, pages 1 through 5 or 2 through 5, I get a prompt that says unable to start print job, is printer available...and then a blank page comes out.  My printer is a HP Photosmart 8250."
    Something about the interactive PDF not working on a non-postscript printer?
    What's up, please help.....
    Thanks in advance.
    Sudi H Scott

    I'm a Mac Pro OSX 10.8.5, not sure what OS the other designer has, but similar to me...
    I do not know what version of Reader the users have. Varied versions most likely.
    Also, I created the same kind of interactive document last year in CS 5.5 without an issue.

  • Officejet 6110xi printing blank pages from ADF

    Officejet 6110 connected to iMac Mavericks. Last several years has periodically started "grinding" noise and wouldn't work, eventual message was "scanner failure". Solution was to turn off, wait, sometimes hours, and restart. Recently, no amount of restarting heped.In desperation I took off top of unit, cleaned all glass and mirrors etc, cleaned rod on which scanner runs, applied very light coat of oil on rod and reassembled. Voila! It worked!
    BUT, eventually discovered that trying to use ADF for multipage copying or scanning produces only blanks. Self-test report seems OK, ADF detected. There seems to be a long delay on printing with ADF, and finally it pulls the page in but prints only a blank. Have tried resets # 3, and # 6 (not so far # 9) without help
    Any ideas?

    Hi there,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
