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?

When downloading a pdf, the print command show a document in the preview but only prints blank pages

When downloading a pdf and using the print command, it shows the correct document in the preview but only prints blank pages. If I use the save command and try to open with Acrobat 11.0.07, it says it wasn't correctly decoded and can't open it. If I do the same thing on my old Macbook (10.6.8) all works fine from the same website with the same document. Any ideas?

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

Safari only prints blank pages

Anyone help with Safari printing issue? It will only print blank pages, on my PC, although all other apps print just fine. I have the latest Safari version.

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.

My brand new HP x451dw only prints blank pages

My brand new HP x451dw only prints blank pages. I have never seen a drop of ink on a page since I have had and set up this printer, even during the set-up process.
All indications suggest that I have configured the printer correctly. I have communication from a variety of computers, ipads, etc. and all will get the correct number of pages to come out of the printer, all pages are blank. Likewise with the printer test page.
There has never been a drop of ink on any page since I took this out of the box.
I do not get any error messages. The printer thinks the ink cartridges are full - they are genuine, and they are full.
Any ideas anyone?

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.

My print setup will not work and Fire fox only prints blank pages. Help?

I tried to change the margins on my printer set up. Since I did this my printer will only print blank pages from Firefox. (If I open a PDF it prints fine) I have tried to go into print set up but it only comes up as a big black page. Any thoughts??

Sorry, just to be clear:
(1) Which did you use to make the change and which do not display correctly:
orange Firefox button > Print > Page Setup<br>
''or''<br>
classic File menu > Page Setup, or
the Properties button in the Print dialog?
(2) If you switch to a different printer, such as a PDF printer driver (many free ones you can install, such as [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] and [http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp CutePDF Writer]), can you regain access to Firefox's Page Setup dialog?

Deskjet 3050 All-In-One J610 only prints blank pages

Hi,
All of a sudden, my printer stopped printing. The ink levels in the cartridges look fine in the HP utlity, and I did the self-cleaning steps, but when I print something, only a blank page comes out. There is some ink around the edge of the paper, though, but nothing on the actual page.
Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks.

Hello jennydel,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Cleaning the printheads is a great way to resolve print quality issues on the Deskjet 3050. On the cleaning page, does anything print on it?
In this HP document: Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems you will see the full HP suggested troubleshooting steps. I hope they are able to help get the printer working again.
Thanks for posting.

J5750 Only printing blank page

I am trying to print a Word document and it is only printing blank sheets. This is a new Vista 64 machine but the printer has worked with my old XP machine in the past. I installed the correct drivers from the HP site and downloaded / installed updates. Ink levels are all fine. I successfully printed a diagnostics page that came out in color but with no black (I'm assuming there was supposed to be). I tried to print a test page but got a pop up that simply said "Out of Memory". I have also confirmed that the tape was removed from the ink nozzels prior to cartrige installation. I think that's everything....

Have you tried making a copy simply from the printer without the aid of the computer?
Have you also tried to print from notepad? Does it have a similar result?

HP 3510 All In One only printing blank pages after cartridge replacement

Recently replaced my blank ink cartridge after supply level showed low, and printed output looked faded.
Using genuine HP product - check
Cartridge supply level good - check
Powered on and off twice - check
Installed, removed, re-installed cartidges - check
Good paper - check
Alignment prints blank page - does not print partial or low quality, just produces a blank page.
Printing from my computer, a word document, also produces a blank page - not parital - blank.
Was printing before the HP cartridge change.
Did I buy a bad HP cartridge?
Any help would be appreciated.

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.

Certain PDF files only print blank pages

I recently upgraded to Adobe Pro 9 Windows. Everything was great until I received a couple pdf files by email this morning that I needed to print and sign. All other pdf files on my computer print fine. These two pdf files go to the printer but only print out blank pages. Any thoughts?

My printer light blinks like it's receiving something, but then never prints. The light stops blinking and the printer icon in the corner goes away like it thinks it printed.
I'm puzzled too. I've never not been able to print a PDF file. I've also never worked so hard to do so! Frustrating to say the least.
Each page printed as an image (the only way it will print at all) takes about 2-3 minutes to print ... EACH PAGE. Ugh. A real time waster for sure.

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!
