HP LaserJet 4200 Printer outputting blank page (with creases) before printing

HP LaserJet 4200 Printer
Keeps outputting a blank page, with creases in the paper (about the middle of page), before it prints the intended page.
This happens at random, but quite often. We have been using this printer for years without any issues. This has been happening for about the last few weeks.

Hi have the same problem with my HP LJ4200.
The problem is intermitent , blank page with with creases before the document
Have you found a solution ?
thanks !

Hi evelia,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first thing I would suggest is to shut down your computer and turn off your printer. Then do the reverse -- turn the printer on first, then your computer. If the issue still persists:
Check to make sure there are no jobs waiting to be printed. (Apple Menu > System Preferences > Printers & Scanners)
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X

If all else fails, reset the printing system and install the printer again:

My HP LaserJet 1018 has started printing only blank pages.

My HP LaserJet 1018 has started printing only blank pages.
Help?
Using Windows XP (Home Version)
Product # CB419A

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.

Print jobs come out as blank pages with Windows 7, Bonjour & Canon iP4700

Hi there,
I have a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.1 and have a Canon iP4700 inkjet printer connected to this via USB and this works fine.
I've shared the printer from the Mac so that I can print to it from a Dell laptop on the same home network which is running Windows 7 RC.
I've installed the Canon print driver (I used the one for Vista as it was the closest match) on the Windows 7 laptop, then I installed Bonjour. I used the 'Add a printer' shortcut icon on the desktop and it saw the Canon printer and I added it.
I thought all was working well, except whenever I try and print to the printer form the Windows 7 laptop, it just prints a blank page instead of the text I have on the page.
Has anyone got any advice for getting this working properly?
Thanks,
Stephen

I had the same problem, however I am running XP. Also, I was using a separate program to manage my wireless connection on my PC called 'Wireless Configuration Utility'. I simply disabled this utility and used the Wireless Network Connection utility that came with Windows and the problem was solved.

I can't print web pages or emails. All I get is a blank page with nothing but the headed tag at top.

I can't print my emails. Tried to get help from my email provider. They asked if I could print pages. I tried and found out that didn't work either. All I get is a blank page with the header tag at the top.

Hi,
Please see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages this]. If the web page has a Print button/icon you can try to use that. You can also try right-clicking on the relevant section of the page > '''This Frame''' > '''Print Frame'''.

PDFs print blank page with URL on top

Whenever I try to print a PDF from within Safari XP 4.0.4, I get a blank page with just the URL on the top line and page 1 of 1 on the bottom. I don't know if it's different when I click the printer icon or go to file/print. Help?

Just doublechecking. Are other PDFs currently printing properly for you, George? (Say, if you're printing them directly from your Reader as opposed to printing them through Safari's Adobe PDF plugin?)

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

Print postcards from 'Pages' with a Lexmark C544dn printer?

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to print postcards from 'Pages' with a Lexmark C544dn printer. As far as I can say, I have correctly set all parameters, but the output is always blank. Any ideas? FYI Lexmark have been unable to help!!

Hi Jerry, and thanks for your response.
What I want to achieve is a landscape postcard with one line of text across the top. I use this to stick on a few sticky notes for training workshop participants to use, to record their special interests for the session. I have done this for years with a Windows PC, MS Word and an HP4500dn LaserJet, and assumed that it would be a simple process with the new set-up (iMac, OS-X 10.7.4, iWork Pages 4.1 and Lexmark C544dn).
I started a blank document, with the paper size set to 6 x 4 inches landscape format. I re-set the margins to suit the size of the postcard, so that the text appeared to be in the right position, on screen.
I used the MP tray to feed the paper (there is only this one input, apart from the regular paper tray), and have tried this at the left side, in the centre and at the right side, in both landscape and portrait format.
I have even tried putting a sheet of portrait A4 paper through, and the printing shows up two thirds towards the bottom of the sheet, across the narrow dimension of the sheet. This makes me think that the machine is 'printing' after the paper has passed through.
Any idea what I am missing? Thanks, Geoff
Your trial with a full size paper tells the story, I think. Your ink is missing the post card. Try again with a small card. After initiating the Print function, make sure you are seeing the expanded Print dialog with the preview on the left side of the dialog window. Does everything look OK there? Paper correct size and orientation? Text showing where it should in the preview?

Hi Dominic,
Thank you for the link. The problem that I have is when the job specification last page prints on the front of the page, and the next job specification prints on the back of that page. There is no way I can control what page it is going to print on. This is depending on how much description the user puts in. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
I do have another issue too, and you maybe able to help me with this. Below is a list of form fields on my template. When the job specification is printed on more than one page, I could not get the fk_job_title to print on the continuous pages. Is there a way I can code this fk_job_title to print on all of it's continuos page? I have tried many different ways but could not get it to print. I also posted this in the forum, but didn't get any respond.

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!

Report Displays in Viewer but Web Print produces blank pages

I am using VS 2008 w CR 2008 SP2 in a web application deployed on Win2008.
I have set the report to display all pages so that the users can hit the print button on their browser (IE7). When the report is shown in the report viewer it looks perfect. When the print button on the browser is used blank pages with the url on top/bottom of each page print, but there is no report.
If I use the print preview and turn on the background layers, I can see that the report background is on two and half pages, which would be corect; but there is no report text or data.
Any ideas?

Hello,
If you page through the report in the viewer is all the data visible?
Have you handled the postback event so that the report is in session before you print?
Look at the samples in the Crystal Reports Visual Studio .NET [Samples|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary?rid=/library/uuid/d0bf8496-2a81-2b10-95ac-b1f48d5b63f5]. Go to the "ReportDocument_Object_Model_Tutorials" and look at the "RDObjMod_Session" sample.
There are also different methods for printing from the web. Printing from the Print control on the viewer downloads an ActiveX print control to the local system. The user needs to have Administrator rights for it to install and register. For information on web printing options look at the article[ "Printing Web based reports with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET"|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/600c24a3-ab1d-2b10-1bb4-c50562e353cb].

135 page pdf will print mainly blank pages

Previously my HP 7410 would print these large documents fine. Now it mainly prints blank pages. It will print 10 pages OK but not any greater number of pages of the document. I am running XP on a Dell desktop with a Linksys router for a laptop. I get the same result whether I print from the desktop or laptop. Please help.

It could be a memory issue. How much free space do you have on your hard drive? How much RAM does your printer have? What happens if you try to print as image. Have you tried changing your print mode? Some printers have a fine mode and a draft mode.

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?
