I have a Canon Pixima MP530, ALL Pages Come out Blank, ink tanks are full!

I have a Canon Pixima MP530, all ink tanks are full, printer goes through the motions of printing but all pages come out blank. I am using windows 7. all functions seem to work, except no ink comes out it was working perfectly 2 nights ago. I called canon tech support but they have no idea whats going on with it. am thinking maybe the print head is shot? Any suggestions are welcomed, I LOVE this printer and need it to work.

with that kind of issue it could be the print head oooor it could be the part of the printer that suctions ink into the print head, it's hard to tell. You could take it to a service facility, but it would probably cost you more to repair it to replace it.

Canon Pixma 922 - when I copy a document the pages come out blank.

When I copy a document the pages came out blank.
Also, when I print an MS-Word document, the pages come out blank, however, if I print an HTML document from a website, the printer prints fine.

Hi dstei33162,
Since HTML documents are printing correctly, it is possible that the large black ink tank in the unit may be clogged. You can print a nozzle check pattern from the printer to see if the inkjet nozzles are dispensing the ink correctly. To do this, please follow the steps located here. Once it is printed, please examine it and compare it to a correctly print pattern here. If all of the colors are not appearing, including the black grid at the top above the colors, performing print head cleanings on the unit may resolve the issue. To perform the cleanings, please follow the steps located here. We recommend performing at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings.
Should you still experience difficulty, the printer may require servicing; please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

I have changed cartridges, re-installed drivers, re-started computer. Still pages come out blank

I have changed cartridges, re-installed drivers, re-started computer, aligned cartridges, cleaned printer head. Still pages come out blank even when just making copies. What else can I do?

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?

Hi Equi_nut,
Do you have the same printer as the user above?

First page comes out blank

Photosmart 8250 Every time I print after turning the printer on, the first page comes out blank then every thing goes allright. What/how to correct?
Thank you.

the problem you are facing might be because in first page general attributes you had not defined next page as page 2 ..as you are saying the desired thing is happening oon pages 2 and 3 but not for 1 and 2
so from this it seems that linking of pages might be missing.
Hope it helps you

Print activates but page comes out blank

I have a Photosmart eStation C510a that I have been using for over two years with no problems. The problem I have now is that when I send a file to print a page comes out but it is blank like no ink is being disbursed. I have new ink cartridges installed and they read as full. Is there a fix or do I need to send for repairs?
This question was solved.

I cleaned the printheads and it fixed the issue for now thanks to the response to another post. It is great to have a group where you can find potential fixes before having to go for repairs or a replacement.

When printing/copying pages come out blank on hp psc 2175

When I print or copy the printer processes a page like it is printing but the pages are blank. The ink cartridges are new and the print head (?) goes across the page like it is printing. The printer is an hp psc 2175 and I am using windows 7. The last thing I did on this printer before it would not print/copy was to scan several documents using Windows Live Photo Gallery and this scanned correctly. What can I do to get it to print/copy again?
Thanks!

When the printer is not printing black ink and printing out blank sheets ... beware the cartidge sometimes does not insert in proper alignment even though you hear the click. Look closely at the cartridge after you insert it. Make sure it is not slightly tilted. And make sure it is dead center, not further to one side than the other because it will not make proper contact. Also 2 more good suggestions here... http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Ink-Toner-Cartridge-Printhead/HP-Officejet-6500-Wireless-will-not-print...
PS- the HP 1210 will print without the color cartridge installed!
Also it is not that hard to refill cartridges yourself. Look how much ink you get for so cheap... http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=ie8search-20&index=blended&linkCode=qs&camp=1789&creativ...

Been using Firefox for years, yesterday not able to get Firefox page at all, page comes up blank

I have been using Firefox for years. Somehow I seem to have blocked it. I get a blank page when trying to enter the site. What to do? thank you

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
*Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
*Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

The first sheet coming out is always blank Also how can I have the pages come out 1-9 instead of

first page come out blank I want sheets to come out 1-9 not 9-1

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? Do you have a separator page selected? The page order typically may be changed in the Advanced tab of printer preferences, look for a "Page order" selection with an option of "Front to Back" or "Back to Front"

HP Deskjet 5740 Printer acts like it's printing, but blank pages come out.

I have an HP Deskjet 5740 printer. It has worked until recently and now when I try to print it won't out of any applications. It acts like it's printing, but pages come out blank. When I do a test it works or when I try on my work mac it works as well. So I know it's not a printer problem or USB cord. I have tried to reinstall the driver and also to "repair disk permissions," but to no avail. Thanks for your help!

Take out one of the cartridges and make sure you pulled off the tape covering the head and pin hole. I haven't dealt with Epson printers for a while but I remember buying cartridges for one of my printers that the tape always seemed to peel off leaving the hole plugged.
If this isn't the problem then it boils down to two things: bad cartridges or printer problems. Different printers are susceptible to two different problems; dried ink in the ink lines and air bubbles. You can try cleaning again and again, using the power cleaning mode if Epson offers that. This wastes ink but you have little choice if you want to resurrect the printer. If this doesn't work try returning the cartridges for a refund and see if that works.
Three simple rules tend to keep inkjet printer problems at bay: print something at least once a week. This will keep the ink from drying out. When the printer tells you ink has run out get a new cartridge. This will reduce the chances of getting an air bubble in the line. Buy ink only from reputable vendors and don't fill your own.

IR 6570 fax TX report or "confirmation page" comes out with zeros.

Our office has a Image Runner 6570. It works fine, except for our Fax TX Report or confirmation page comes out with no info. THe Job No./ St. Time/ Usage T/ Pages all come out as zeros. The fax goes through to the reciepent, but we would like the cofirmation page to work as intended. We turned off the IR 6570, that didn't affect anything. We switched the Fax TX report seetings from off to error and on, but it still comes out as all zeros.
If anyone has had this issue or knows how to resolve it, a comment would be apreciated.

Web pages come out tiny, I must use control + to view every page. How can I set a defult size for every page I vivit?

After upgrading to 3.6 all the web pages come out tiny. The text and the pictures. I must use the Ctrl + in order to make the web page fill my screen. What do I have to do to set a default size for every web site I visit?

■ Easiest method, if you allow firefox to tabs you used then on restarting I believe it also retains the zoom settings
* '''Tools -> Options -> General -> Startup = use current pages'''
■ There are also extensions that can be used, some allow individual sites to have individual settings. Look at the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/772884 this thread] which also discusses related matters.
■ The best method if you need the same effest accross all sites is probably changing one of the preferences within the config files, it is discussed in the above linked thread and also in this MozzillaZine article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Layout.css.dpi

Suddenly after years a web page comes up blank

Suddenly after years a web page comes up blank, I can get the page on my iMac and iPod.

If you want to keep using adblock, and have the latest 2.6.4 version - check its Options - Customize page hasn't somehow got a rule which might block that site; & if nothing shown, look at Filter Lists & disable all but adblock & easylist.
Sometimes, uninstalling then reinstalling it will solve problems - copy any custom filters first, unless they're simple to reset.

Have you tried resetting the zoom level on those pages? To reset zoom, CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero).
