LaserJet P2035 prints blank pages.

It started with printing out duplicate lines that overlapped. Now all it does is print out blank pages. After each page prints out the light blinks next to the triangle symbol. And then I have to power off and power back on to clear it. I have installed the newest driver, upgraded the firmware on the printer, installed a new toner, and replaced the USB cable. Any suggestions on what to look for? I have about five of these printers and the rest are fine (so far).
Thanks,
Josh

Hi @tps1020 ,
I see that you are having issues with the pages coming out blank. You have already replaced the toner and you still have the same results. I would like to help.
Most likely it is a hardware issue with the printer or the software, since you replaced the toner and are having the same issue.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation. Make sure the USB cable is connected directly to the computer.
Unfortunately there is no hardware self test for this model. Usually to find out if it is a hardware or software issue, you can print the hardware self test to determine this.
Try and print a test page from the printer driver.
Did it print?
If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall the software, just to rule that out.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
HP LaserJet 1020 Printer Drivers.
Test the printer again.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
Is the Ready light on the printer?
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
Please let me know the results.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

  • 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.

  • Help[: Laserjet 1300: Printing blank pages (new cartridge & drivers installed)

    Hi All, printer keeps printing blank pages, just bought a new cartridge and even re-installed the drivers- can anyone perhaps advise as to a way to resolve as I am urgently needing to print?

    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.

  • LaserJet 1020 prints blank pages

    My LaserJet 1020 printer prints nothing but blank pages no matter what kind of print job I give it. The HP Print and Scan Doctor found nothing wrong, but when I printed a test page at the end of the Print and Scan Doctor's testing, the output paper was also blank. I installed a new cartridge because I thought the old one was out of ink, but the problem reoccurred very soon.

  • Laserjet 4M Plus (C2039A) prints blank pages after cleaning?

    I have a Laserjet 4M Plus (C2039A) that was working well.  I was getting toner streaks so I disassembled the covers and cleaned dust and toner out.  Cleaned plastic and plates with soapy sponge, cleaned rollers with alcohol, brushed and used air to clean dust.  I'm good with mechanical projects. After re-assembling, I print blank pages.  The menus, display, and computer interface seem fine.  Paper feeds correctly.  Self Test displays no errors, but I am unable to read printed test results or settings.  I went into Service Mode, and ran Self Test there.  I'm ready to disassemble it again, but do not know where to look for improper fit.  What would prevent any characters from being printed?  I'm using Windows XP drivers, and parallel port cable. 

    Hello kbright,
    Welcome to the HP Consumer printer Forums.
    The product you have is a commercial printer. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.

  • HP LaserJet Pro CM141 prints blank pages and jams on nothing

    My HP LaserJet Pro CM141 is printing mostly blank pages. Some pages come out with thick, verticle lines of smudged gray but other than that, it's totally blank.  It does this for printing or copying and wireless or connected via USB.  It started doing this after a wierd occurance where it would not stop printing the same print job over and over. After restarting it several times, I finally got it to stop printing the same print job but now, as I said above, it just prints blank pages. It also frequently claims to have a paper jam when it hasn't even attempted to take up a sheet of paper. The scanner still works, it's about 4 years old. The black cartiridge supply is at 90% although the colors are admittedly at 0% (but the lack of color never caused a problem before, I just print everything in black and white.)  I already went through the steps of the trouble shooting guide, http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c02260982

    Since you have only one toner cartridge with toner it is possible that toner cartridge has an issue.  I would try at least another known good black toner cartridge.

  • HP Color LaserJet CP3525n keeps printing blank pages without stopping

    Hi, I'm having trouble with this printer, it keeps printing blank pages one after anotther as soon as it is turned on. Some pages are completely blank others have smiley faces and other characters on it. And it keeps doing this even after it has been restarted. Any idea how to fix this problem?

    1. take out all of the ink cartriges and look at the big black roller on the door for streaking, if streaking, clean with a lint free cloth dampened with windex (window cleaner) then close the door.
    2. let it run to initializing.
    3. open the door and look and the black roller on the door to see if you have streaking. If no streaking put one cartridge in and close the door and repeat the steps until you find what cartridge is causing the problem.
    I did this and found that my cyan was creating the lines on my paper. I cleaned the cyan roller with a Qtip and some rubbing alcohol and it works fine now, no more lines on the paper.
    Cheers

  • 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.

  • 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 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!
