HP PSC 2175 spits out blank paper while I print.

I have Dell GX520 Desktop PC with Windows XP service pack 3 and HP PSC 2175 all-in-one printer. Since few days I m having trouble printing with my printer. When I try to print it simply picks up the paper scans it and spits out  blank paper instead of printing it. There is no any error message or flashing light or any thing in the printer.
But still I can make copy or print the test page from it. The only thing is I can't print any document from WordPad or NotePad or through Adobe Reader. I don't have Office on my PC.
I have tried every thing that I can do. Uninstall the driver and reinstalled  it  downloading from HP website,updated the drivers manually, replaced new cartridges and what not. But I still have the problem. It would be so helpful if you have any solution to this problem.

I'm having the same problem....
The computer is a hp pavilion.
When trying to print, It loads the paper, It checks the paper position, then it just ejects the paper.
I opened the print job que and watched it.
When the print job ques up, it shows the job...then deletes the job before printing it.
It has been working fine up until a few days ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

  • My HP PSC 2175 printer spits out blank paper while I try to print.

    I have Windows XP service pack 3. My printer(HP PSC 2175 All-in-one) use to work well until few days before. I leave the printer unused for few days and now when I came back to use it , it simply picks up paper scans( a ledger like light runs to and fro at the top end of paper) and spits the paper out.This  only happens when I try to print. I can still make black copies well from the same machine. I only have Note pad and Word Pad. It does the same with both. I tried with pdf document too. It still persists its problem. But if I open the Hp service tool box through printing preference and print the test page it prints.
    I have tried every thing that I can do. I've repalced the new cartiage, uninstalled the existing driver softer and installed new from hp website. Updated them and what not.
    Can you tell me what is wrong with my printer? pls.

  • Spits out blank or black only prints.

    Hello all, I have a HP 5740
    WIndows 7
    Since changing empty color and black cartridges I went with the single Photo cartridge.
    I've set the options to ICM and chose the tri color cartridge option.
    Now the printer will only print in black or it just spits out a blank sheet.
    I understand HP doesn't officially support Windows 7 yet but I was hoping for a little insight.
    I've tried what I would call EVERYTHING with no success at a color print out.

    What happens if you insert a black cartridge instead of the photo cartridge and then try to print?

  • Designjet t520 36 inch spits out long paper feed instead of printing

    Product is HP Designjet T520 36" Plotter. 36" roll paper installed.  Printing from Adobe Acrobat, large size maps, prints at 35" x 60". Sending the print to the plotter causes the plotter to spit out a large, blank paper instead of printing. Do not get error message.
    Help ~ this is wasting an entire roll of paper! There is no way to cancel or stop the plotter when it feeds large, blank sheets instead of printing.
    We have tried different settings. Updated the firmware today. Very frustrated ~ can someone please help?

  • HP Laserjet 2600xi new drivers prints garbage spits out blanks

    A friend called me about this problem and all I knew to do was to get the latest drivers and install them after removing all traces of old HP software. They're using an eMac with OS 10.4.11. The problem may have a simple solution. When they send a file to print, at first there is a page of 'garbage' printed followed by the printer just 'spitting out' blank sheets until they turn it off.
    Any ideas to try? It could be a corrupt spool folder I suppose but don't know where to look for the file.
    Thanks

    Thanks, Greg. You are right that the 2600xi is Photosmart rather than Laserjet. I was just passing on the info given me by the owner who is frankly clueless. He asked my advice because I'm somewhat more experienced. I don't know how the rpinter was added to the Print & Fax pref pane.
    As far as using the HP drivers I've gotten them to install new ones and had them look to see if the printer was recognized in the Printer Setup Utility.app. It was and that's the last time I talked to them. I may have to go and make a house call. Thanks for your information and advice. I'll get back with any update.

  • Printer spits out blank pages v8.1.3

    When I hit print button, my printer spits out blank pages
    (about the same number as there are pages in the pdf document). The
    printer works fine with other programs (Word, Excel etc.) but not
    with the Acrobat 8.1.3
    What gives?

  • C4480 just churns out blank paper

    I recently bought a new C4480 All-In-One to replace my clapped out HP printer - the old one's paper feed was no longer working.
    The Paper Feed on the new C4480 is fine, but there is just one snag. Whenever I send over a page or document from my word processing system (I use and love an old version, WordPerfect 8) all that happens is the printer spits out a completely blank page, or series of pages. The old HP printer was completely happy with this and printed without any trouble - until its paper feed broke down.The same new C4480 printer will cheerfully print Test Pages till the cows come home, and also print colour photos from different kinds of file.
    I have tried reloading new C4480 software sent down the line by HP's help people, but still to no avail. 

    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?

  • Printer only spits out blank sheets

    I have a photosmart 7550 and all I get when trying to print photos or even word documents is a blank page. I just installed three new print cartridges (56, 57, & 58). The calibration and diagnostic pages came out fine. I replaced the USB cable and that allowed Word to spit out a blank page.
    Haven't used this printer in a long while and now I don't know how to get it to work.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Kaitlyn,
    I have cleaned the printheads at least 5 times, tried printing reports, aligning printheads and even cleaning printhead manually and the ink cartridge also. No luck. I had no trouble with this printer until I brought everything upstairs and set up here and then that one part didn't work. The machine and printer had not been used in a week but all worked well before then. What will really be a drag is if I replace the printhead and it still will not work. This thing and I may have to have a long talk then! The monster will print in color but no black in it. Can the ink well jets be stopped up? How would anybody ever clean one of those out?
    Thanks for the input and responding so quickly.

    @Trinity7243: have you tried cleaning the cartridges? and the printheads?
    Try to go to the printer's setup MENU --> TOOLS--> CLEAN PRINTHEAD
    IF its the same still, then the printheads of your printer would need to be replaced.
    update me what ever happens

  • Hp officejet pro8500 a910 shoots out blank paper when trying to print from windows 10 installed firefox. Printer works fine from chrome and ie.

    I am beta testing windows 10. I use both a hp laptop (dv77128nr) and a desktop (home made). I use a hp officejet pro8500 a910 printer.
    When using firefox I get only blank pages while trying to print from within the browser. Only using firefox. Chrome works fine. IE works fine. If I boot to windows 7, firefox works fine. Can you help or should I report this to Microsoft?
    Thanks for your help.
    ps. Tried resetting firefox. Haven't tried a new install.

    Firefox isn't officially supported on Windows 10. For that matter, Windows 10 isn't officially supported either. This is most likely a problem between Firefox, Windows 10, and your printer's driver. Try updating your printer's driver and see if that helps. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to post this on Microsoft's forums as well.

  • Can I set an HP LJ4000T to stop printing if Tray 2 runs out of paper while leaving AUTO CONTINUE ON?

    I'm dealing with an issue here where I'd like my HP LJ4000T to stop printing completely if Tray 2 runs out of paper.  Currently it automatically prints to Tray 3 which has a different paper type. 
    On the other hand, I'd like to keep AUTO CONTINUE set to ON.  Can this be done or is this just a direct contradiction? 

    I agree anti-relay can be using UBE feature. However, there is serious problem in reject the spam mail. My nms is using UBE feature to stop spam mail. According to the work flow of the UBE, the mail is received by nms completely and UBE is going to invesgate the mail address. Although UBE can stop the spam mail, the spam mail have a trouble in returning the mail to the sender. The reason is the sender address is usually not existed in the world. That will cause a lot of mail waiting in the mail queue.
    In my experience, do not use UBE for anti-relay.

  • PowerMac G5 spits out blank DVD R?

    I own a Dual 2.5GHz Power Mac G5 with a problem of rejecting all blank DVD+R discs but it accepts a retail DVD and a Mac OSX 10.4 DVD-DL. It sometimes rejects even a DL disc once in a while.

    Old drive + old firmware + new or cheap media = incompatibility
    What is your drive?
    What media are you trying to use?
    Also, OS X doesn't equally support DL media.
    With DL media, OS X 10.4x supports burning to DVD+R DL, but not DVD-R DL.
    OS X 10.5x Leopard supports burning to DVD-R DL, but doesn't support DVD+R DL.

  • MBP simply spits out blank Memorex DVD-R

    Okay, this has finally caught up to me and is now officially a problem. It didn't bother me before because I figured when I really needed to burn a DVD again I'd go out and buy some other brand, but it's Thanksgiving and I want to show the family something and no place is open.
    My MacBook Pro has miraculously decided that it doesn't recognize Memorex DVD-Rs anymore. The screwy thing is that it used to. In fact, this started in the middle of a project. I was remastering one of my brother's BMX videos and making a new DVD menu and all that, and we burned what we thought would be the final. We went into the other room and watched it on the good TV and DVD player. We caught a few things we wanted to change, so we went back and changed them, but then when I popped in another disk, it spun it for about a minute and then ejected it. It has done it ever since, even through a reformat and upgrade to Leopard.
    Why in the world would my drive burn to these disks one minute and the next refuse to ever recognize them again? Here's the information from the System Profiler:
    HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080MA:
    Firmware Revision: AE38
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO

    I was having the same problem with Memorex CDs that I burned MP3's on from a different computer; the CDs won't even load, it goes in, tries to read it and spits it out. I was able to pinpont it to only the Blue and Black Cool Color CDs; all of the other ones loaded successfully, even the purple and red ones. So it must be something to do with the dark colors. Guess that's what I get for wanting "Cool" looking CDs. But that's messed up that the Macbook won't play them, they work perfectly fine in other PCs! Also, from reading other people's messages, Memorex appears to be a bad brand anyways.

  • OLD PSC 2175 all in one PAPER JAM

    I have tried every suggestion I could find on this forum and went so far as to take it apart and clean up the ink dribbles and reset all cable connects. then I did the uninstall/reinstall.
    When I try to print, The paper comes too far forward by about an 1.5 or 2 inches and then I get the pop up "JAMMED". I pull the paper thru, reinsert it in tray, press enter and it prints. Is it time for the trash heap? It's seven years old but has only done about 2 500 packs of paper. Thanks for any help.

    Make sure to follow all steps here:
