HP Color LaserJet CP3525n keeps printing blank pages without stopping

Hi, I'm having trouble with this printer, it keeps printing blank pages one after anotther as soon as it is turned on. Some pages are completely blank others have smiley faces and other characters on it. And it keeps doing this even after it has been restarted. Any idea how to fix this problem?

1. take out all of the ink cartriges and look at the big black roller on the door for streaking, if streaking, clean with a lint free cloth dampened with windex (window cleaner) then close the door.
2. let it run to initializing.
3. open the door and look and the black roller on the door to see if you have streaking. If no streaking put one cartridge in and close the door and repeat the steps until you find what cartridge is causing the problem.
I did this and found that my cyan was creating the lines on my paper. I cleaned the cyan roller with a Qtip and some rubbing alcohol and it works fine now, no more lines on the paper.
Cheers

HP LaserJet Pro CM141 prints blank pages and jams on nothing

My HP LaserJet Pro CM141 is printing mostly blank pages. Some pages come out with thick, verticle lines of smudged gray but other than that, it's totally blank. It does this for printing or copying and wireless or connected via USB. It started doing this after a wierd occurance where it would not stop printing the same print job over and over. After restarting it several times, I finally got it to stop printing the same print job but now, as I said above, it just prints blank pages. It also frequently claims to have a paper jam when it hasn't even attempted to take up a sheet of paper. The scanner still works, it's about 4 years old. The black cartiridge supply is at 90% although the colors are admittedly at 0% (but the lack of color never caused a problem before, I just print everything in black and white.) I already went through the steps of the trouble shooting guide, http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c02260982

Since you have only one toner cartridge with toner it is possible that toner cartridge has an issue. I would try at least another known good black toner cartridge.

Help[: Laserjet 1300: Printing blank pages (new cartridge & drivers installed)

Hi All, printer keeps printing blank pages, just bought a new cartridge and even re-installed the drivers- can anyone perhaps advise as to a way to resolve as I am urgently needing to print?

Forgot to mention that I am not getting an error message either, except when I go through the motions of scanning the (blank) alignment page. That error is related to the fact that it is blank though.
Thanks for any assistance.

HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09

Hi, everybody!
I got a huge problem for me that the HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09 after I upgrade to 10.6.1. It worked very well in 10.5.8. Since there is no official driver from HP website for 1600, so I used foomatic/foo2hp as the driver.
It is very strange that I can print in color with Safari and Preview in 10.6.1, but cannot with Pages 09. When I print with Pages 09, it always shows that the print job was completed but my printer was nothing happened.
I just re-install the 10.6 OS "complete new", install the printer driver with the instructions on this forum.
It would be high appreciated if somebody can help me on it!

Why doesn't MAC just give us the driver for the HP Color Laserjet 1600? It's one of the most popular home based business laserjets. It's the one I use and a lot of other people in business use it so I'm at a loss as to why they don't.
I bought my MAC Pro tower for video editing and I can't print from it and have had to reinstall the OS on it once already because Safari wouldn't open a window. So much for the MAc advertising statement of "We're so much easier to use."
After spending close to $10,000 on MAC equipment, Tower, Laptop, Monitor, etc. if they think I'm going to spend more for a new printer just because I can't get a driver to print they're thinking wrong. I going to re-think my new cell phone purchase too. Has anyone had software issuses with their phones before I go out and buy one?

HP Color LaserJet CP3525n Printer

Hey
My HP Color LaserJet CP3525n is starting to make a lot of noise when its printing and warming up. And on the prints is there white stripes.
What can i do ?

My assumption is you want to connect the printer to a wireless access point and not with a hardwired cable. If so you can, but it is pricey. The printer has a EIO hardware slot and you can purchase a EIO jet direct card. See the link below. Now if you just want wireless devices to attach to the printer where the printer is hardwired to a switch or router you just add the printer using the ip address of the printer to each wireless device. http://www.amazon.com/J8007G-HP-Jetdirect-Wireless-Internal/dp/B001AM52SC

HP LaserJet 4MP Printing Blank Pages

Hi there,
This is perhaps OT, but a recent issue with my HP LJ 4MP is causing me great anguish and heartache.
Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my HP is producing blank pages. It just runs and runs spewing out blank pages.
I've tried all the IO resets and a cold reset. Unplugging and leaving idle. Unplugged the Asante bridge between the serial and the CAT 5.
After a while I can get it to stop printing blank pages, it works fine for a while, then the interminable blank pages start again.
Has anyone seen such an issue? Any known resolution?
Thanks a bunch,
Matthew

Matthew,
I too use HP LaserJet 4MP and AssanteTalk Bridge connected to computer via ethernet crossover cable and link from Assante to both my LJ4MP and HPDeskJet855cse, using BelKin QuikNet adapters in a string using RJ11 jumper cables.
My HP driver software is HP8.1.1.
I Never use "BackGround Printing".
I Never use "DeskTop Print Monitor".
The only time I can remember multiple blank copies is when I used to use "Print Monitor and BackGround Printing".
Clear your preferences and get rid of Print Monitor and Don't use BackGround Printing.

Laserjet 4M Plus (C2039A) prints blank pages after cleaning?

I have a Laserjet 4M Plus (C2039A) that was working well. I was getting toner streaks so I disassembled the covers and cleaned dust and toner out. Cleaned plastic and plates with soapy sponge, cleaned rollers with alcohol, brushed and used air to clean dust. I'm good with mechanical projects. After re-assembling, I print blank pages. The menus, display, and computer interface seem fine. Paper feeds correctly. Self Test displays no errors, but I am unable to read printed test results or settings. I went into Service Mode, and ran Self Test there. I'm ready to disassemble it again, but do not know where to look for improper fit. What would prevent any characters from being printed? I'm using Windows XP drivers, and parallel port cable.

Hello kbright,
Welcome to the HP Consumer printer Forums.

HP LJ 1320 only prints blank pages

The printer will only print blank pages. Test pages are also blank (including from the Green Button). This is a recurring issue. It was solved in the past by fiddling with the cartridge and mechanical parts inside (we don't know what exactly sovled the problem). Toner is full. I ran the HP Diagnostic Tool and it found no "X"s.
I verified that the following mechanical parts are functional:
switch on left side of cartridge door
plastic tab on top right of door, which connects to laser spring/switch
spring/switch underneath top panel, which seems to enable laser
arm/gears to enable paper spindle
contacts on printer-side of toner/printer connection (this part slides from side to side 1/4 inches, and I tried printing with it in various locations)
There seem to be no error beeps/tones when the printer starts up or when I close the toner door. (However, it was capable as I bypassed one of the switches and it made an error tone at that point).
I think it must be something like a dead laser (however, I think the laser is invisible and we cannot test tosee if it is functional).
Any other ideas/solutions would be appreciated.
I forgot to mention that the low-toner light is not lit, and we've had this issue with both new and old-working toners cartridges.

Has anyone else had this problem? I have a LaserJet 1320 that started doing the exact same thing last week. I'm wondering what I have to do to get it working again. Anyone know something about these units?

Firefox will show PDF's but prints blank pages. Other browsers are fine, safe mode has no effect.

Currently on an HP laptop, Win8, printing to a HP Color Laser, no previous problems; all of a sudden, PDF's are printing blank pages. I can see the page fine. Safe mode without any addons has no change. I printed my taxes out and had no problems.
I've used IE (shudder) an been able to print PDF's fine. I have no PDF software itself on the computer, just using the browsers native support. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. Searching shows problems loading PDF's, but my problem is printing PDF's. Using version 29 of Firefox. Anyone got any tips or clues how to hunt this down? Really close to introducing my computer to Mr. sledgehammer.

Thanks, appreciate the links for PDF driver add ons, this will be my last resort if nobody else can figure it out. I don't use Acrobat because of all their bloatware and hidden installs. I still would like to know why Firefox started printing blank pages in PDF's, but can still open the PDF's, very frustrating. Seems like a few other people are having the issue as well.

HP 3210 printer prints blank pages and only half the first page

When I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 my HP 3210 printer now prints blank pages before and after the correct page and then only prints half of it. It prints with no problem as before in Internet Explorer but I cannot keep going back to WExplorer just to print.

You have not said but it sounds like you are using a Macbook pro with retina display.
Pages is exhibiting all sorts of problems with the Retina display which Apple is supposedly working on.

InDesign causing others to print blanks pages

Okay so this is a weird issue and I'm getting no results.
My issue is simple. After I print in ID anyone else I work with prints blank pages (We're printing through a network to a device). Also cyan prints incorrectly; however that is fixed if I open the print driver from the print dialog. Now the color thing is a problem through all the adobe software (Illy, Photoshop, Acrobat). No matter which program I use cyan prints wrong. But back to the main issue, strictly ID causes others to print blank. It isn't consistent either. A single document could consecutively cause the blanks then not cause them a little later. We've tried ever print driver possible and the problem persists. Another curious behavior with ID in conjunction with Acrobat is if Acrobat is open and I try to export to .pdf from ID then both programs freeze (however no message of either not responding comes up in the activity monitor) and the preferences are erased from ID
I've spent 4 hrs on the phone with Adobe support and it's just some indian reading from a handbook asking over and over if I deleted my preferences. I've spent days with the printer manufacturer and worked with 7 of their tech specialists and even had them send out a new unit and still the issues. I need to know if the rest of the world is seeing this. Or if this is even close to something someone has seen
So from what I'm seeing is a problem with the PostScript writing that's freaking it out but I'm not software engineer so I can't say for sure.
I'm running CC (though we still had the problems on CS6)
OSX 1.7
ID version 9.2.2
printer is a Konica Bizhub 554e (it's a laser copier)
Thanks,

I actually have created a .pdf and had others print it (a file I create in ID and export to pdf). What ends up happening is if I try to print the pdf people after me get blanks. However if someone else prints it there is no issue. I may have left out an important point I'm the only mac that uses the printer, everyone else uses pc (and I don't know if that's an issue). I only have a postscript driver available (which is good) but i don't know what everyone else is using. I want to say in all of this i heard they have a PCL driver.
As far as the router, I'm hardwired into the network so there is no router. Konica and our IT have checked the network and ruled out that possibility (and I don't really know what that means)
But you are reaffirming the fact it is the printer and they need to fix it. And the fact that a document printed with only cyan is printed with all four colors to give me some weird off color makes me think the disconnect is between Adobe and the printer. But still so weird about the blanks.
Thanks for the input

Printer prints blank pages despite cleaning, won't align

HP photosmart B210 all of sudden prints blank pages and won't align

Hi @bhoover64,
I see that you are getting blank pages and the printer won't align. I can help you with this.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I have provided a document to go through the steps to see if that will resolve the issue.
Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages.
Here is a document to manually clean the cartridge contacts.

932c prints blank pages

I have an old but always reliable, until today, 932c deskjet, tied to a dell e521 Vista (home basic) computer. The printer worked fine yesterday, and now prints blank pages. (Correction -- nearly blank, there are very faint horizontal irregular dashed lines in the "draft" quality setting. If I set the print quality on best, it does appear to print the document to a very slight degree, but still unreadable.) The cartridge indicator is on the far right (the OK position, and there are no blinking lights. In that it was printing very clearly yesterday, I am sure there is ink in the cartridge.
Any ideas? (One last note: given that two new cartridges will be approach the cost of a newer and faster machine, that is one solution that I have considered trying and have ruled out.)
Thanks

Try printing a diagnostic page as shown here. If this page is blank then gently blot the printheads on a damp tissue. The black cartridge should have a dark black blot and the color should show dark stripes of cyan, magenta and yellow. If the cartridges do blot properly but do not print the printer electronics may have failed. If the cartridges do not blot properly then I would suggest returning the cartridges to the printer and running three cleaning cycles from the toolbox. If this does not clear the problem then try soaking the printhead in 1" of very hot water for a few minutes, then blot on a tissue and try a test page.

Pixma was working just fine until I replaced 3 of the ink cartidges. Now it only prints blank pages

Pixma was working just fine until I replaced 3 of the ink cartidges. Now it only prints blank pages. It does the same thing from my computer as from the printer itself. Also passes the device maintenance tests, including all the colors and the alignment. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
