IPad (v8.1.3) prints blank pages in some Notes files

In the Notes app of my iPad (8.1.3) using AirPrint it sometimes prints nothing but blank pages. Some Notes files will print, however, but others will not. Also, If I copy text from a Notes file that prints only blank paper to a file that was able ti print text (as it is supposed to) the file is suddenly infected by whatever, stops printing text and prints only blank pages. How can I reliably print out all of my Notes files?

Hi,
I came here for the same problem that the one described here (Preview won't display some pdf documents). But, as it was mentionned, Acrobat is able to show them. Tried the anti-aliased option, no luck there either. However, I noticed that the document not handled by Preview are reproductions, copies, pictures of documents. For example, I work with scholar articles. The problematic documents are not pdf saved directly, let's say, from Distiller or Word. They seem to be scanned documents, and each page of the pdf is actually a big picture. Could it be that Preview is not strong enough to handled this kind of doc?
By the way, a Preview discussion folder would be nice...

Preview displays blank page with some pdf files but prints what is hidden

Some of my pdf files have started coming up as blank in Preview. There still is data underneath, which selecting areas will disclose as though you are scraping white out off the print. Printing is unaffected, and only some files are affected. Tried repairing permissions, but no luck. I recently did the OS update, and didn't notice the problem before that. I have restarted the computer a couple times,. a few odd artifacts have shown up on the screen as well, though box selecting over these causes them to disappear. I haven't been able to find any consistent difference in the pdfs that will display properly and the ones that won't. doesn't appear to be associated with when they were created or which version of software they were created with. Saving them under a different name doesn't help. Adobe reader works fine, so it is specific to Preview ( which I would rather keep as my default reader )
Any ideas what went wrong? How to fix it?

I have no trouble viewing the file you posted in the same version of Preview that you have.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Printing blank pages from some apps

My HP Officejet 6500 will print from some apps, such as MSWord, TextEdit and Safari, and not from others, such as Firefox and MSExcel. the printer did work fine for several weeks before the problem began.
I talked to HP and reinstalled the driver. HP insists that it is not their problem since some things print and that st must be an Apple software problem.
Anyone have any suggestions?
(I am currently running 10.5.8, though problem started in earlier version of 10.5)

Problem solved. Turns out that have to go to the "Page set-up" dialogue box and select the particular printer. Most printers are fine with "Any Printer," but this HP OfficeJet 6500 seems to be particular.

Why does Ipad mini print blank page

I have a wifi/airtime enabled Canon printer. I can print a picture OK from my laptop but when printing the same picture from my Ipad mini, only a blank page is printed. A text document is printed OK.

I have a similar problem: In Notes my Canon MX922 which is AirPrint enabled prints only blank pages for some Notes files. For others it works ok. But, if I copy text from a file for which printer only prints blank pages to a Notes file that I was actually able to print, the previously ok file becomes infected with the same disease and I only get blank pages. Really annoying!

New foxfire. now printer prints blank pages

recent firefox update. Now cannon printer only prints blank pages for e-mail files.

Simple start would be to see if you can print in another browser like Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, then we can identify that it is the Firefox update that caused this issue

Did recent recommended update cause incompatibility with HP printer, causing error message and printer to print blank pages?

did recent recommended update cause incompatibility with HP printer, causing error message and printer to print blank pages?

Why not contact HP tech support for assistance since they make the printer. While on their site you can look for an updated printer driver. Otherwise, try deleting the current installed driver, reset the print system, then reinstall your printer's driver.

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.

REPORT SERVER 6i Patch1 PRINTING BLANK PAGES

I have a problem that is occouring on three different report servers. It will start printing blank pages instead of the report and the only way to get it back to normal is to stop and reastart the service. I get this on a version 6, version 6i and version 6i patch1 report servers. It makes no difference what call method I use (command line or OCX control). I can also force this behavior on one of the servers by selecting a HP 895C as the default printer in the windows printers and then starting the service. All pages print blank after that. At the customers site it appears to be random as to when it will start printing the blank pages.
Any ideas on what the fix is for this?
null

Is there any ideas on this?
We have a Reports 6i server up and running and I'm getting stuff out OK to postscript printers, but some HP older printers are just spitting out blank pages. Is there a desformat= that I need to set differently? I've tried most of the options ( dec, psport, psland, hpl... all blank )
Appreciate any help, I haven't used this stuff long, so am quite naive about how it hangs together.

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.

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.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printing Blank Pages Instead Of Data And Also Reorienting Itself

Hi all
We have a wireless HP Officejet Pro 8000 in our office (but via cable, not wireless) to a network. The printer is occasionally printing blank pages instead of say a spreadsheet selected to print.
The other issue is that if you say are printing two copies of the same spreadsheet, one prints okay (say landscape) and the second copy, selected at the time of printing, prints it portrait but only part of the left hand side of it and the rest is blank. Coming out of and going back inthe file usually recitifes this. But it does it again any time it feels like it.
We did have an upgrade, where our IT guy took away our desktop boxes and replaced with smaller base units and everything is run from a main server and alsoan upgrade from Windows 2000 to Network. Problems started after this and the IT guy did update the printer driver.
Please would anyone be able to assist? Any help for this frustrating problem gratefully accepted!
Thanks,
Saxplayer67

So the issue with the 8000 printer is periodic print jobs do not come out as you are wanting them. Is that right? This is interesting, just from the point of view that generally speaking issues like this are like a light switch, they are either there or they are not - they usually don't come and go. That being said, we are going to see what we can do to resolve this. First I am going to recommend that we perform a clean installation of the printer after uninstalling it from the machine. By the way, what is the operating system you are working with - Is it Windows 2000 Network?
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3762364
Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer J610a is printing blank pages

Your HP Deskjet 3050 is printing BLANK PAGES?
The printer ejects blank sheets of paper when printing. Some or all the printed pages might be partially blank or half printed. It can be the software that you are printing from or program. Sometimes it can be the actual print head needs cleaning or cartridges are low.
Here is a link that will provide you with steps that will get the issue resolved. In this document you will have different Operating Systems. (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X) Software.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Yes, the link is down.
See if you can print a self-test page or printer status report from the printer itself. If so, then it is a software or connection issue.
If you can print test page, try to use a different USB cable. Also, you can uninstall and re-install the software and drivers.
If you are NOT able to print a test page from the printer, try to clean the cartridges with lint free cloth and water.

Printer prints blank pages

I received a message low toner. Before I replaced the toner the printer printed blank pages. After I replaced the toner, the printer printed for awhile the same day and now prints blank pages. I took out the toner and moved it back and forth and replaced it and still nothing on the paper. Do I need a new printer? Thanks, Sally

Regarding blank pages printing:
Which printer model do you have?
Does it print a blank self-test page?
What operating system are you printing from, and what application (if not all apps)?
What driver are you using?
More info from you will help us offer suggestions to resolve the blank pages issue.
We enjoy helping if we can, as these forums have helped us frequently.

Windows 8.1 printing blank pages from all apps

Morning Tech Support: My favorite people!! This just began within the this week where what ever appl I attempt to print from, prints blank pages. Upon viewing the print spooler, it shows doc going into printer okay, no probs w/ margins
or page size (already checked). Printer is Canon MG5400 (newer). I've already rebooted turned on the computer where the computer is installed. What else could it be. Working on installing new updates that just came down as well.
HELP!!!!
s.hamel

Try install all updates for Windows and check for update for latest version of your printer's software.
Try run a test print and check if it works.
Also check the cartridge and make sure they are okay.
You may contact Canon's support too.
