MS Word prints only blank document

I rarely use MS Word anymore. I use Mellel - except Word (10) does such an easier job with tables.
I created a two-page table.
It prints out blank. I tried 3X, it would not print to pdf even.

HP 6510 printing only blank pages after changing print cartridges

Hi,
My HP 6510 is printing only blank pages after I installed new print ink cartridges. I tried cleaning the print heads, aligning the printer... which did result in some pages printing with a little color (but it seemed "off" to me). That said, when I try to print a regular document from my PC it only prints a blank page.
I can't seem to figure this one out on my own - please help!
Thanks!
Chloe

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6510. Be sure the cartridges are vented as shown in solution two.
Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.

Photosmart All in one C4780 Printer prints only blank pages, connected to a MacBook Pro

My Photosmart C4780 all in one printer which is connected by USB to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 prints only blank pages, and no text; I have turned it on and off; disconnected and reconnected; uninstalled the HP software and reloaded and updated drivers, firmware and patches. The scan function works and scans the document to my Mac. The copy function also does not work; when I press the OK function next to the copy icon, nothing happens

Hi mpmehta
I understand you are not able to print in black and the copy function isn't working.
I will be happy to assist you with this.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or
software issue. Click Here.
I have included a document for not being able to print in black.
Here is a document for the copy function not working.
If you require further assistance please provide the following so I can assist you better.
Did the configuration page print?
Any black print on the page?
What are the ink levels?
Are you getting a error when trying to copy?
Please let me know the results.

My HP LaserJet 1018 has started printing only blank pages.

My HP LaserJet 1018 has started printing only blank pages.
Help?
Using Windows XP (Home Version)
Product # CB419A

Could be a number of issues. First could be a bad or not connecting transfer rollers which moves the toner from the drum to the paper. Only way to test is a half test by putting paper on the manual tray and printing a self test. When the back edge enters the printer, open the toner door to stop printing. Remove the toner and flip back the cover over the toner drum to see if there is any image on the drum. If image is present then it could be transfer roller issues. Use the service manual and look under engine diagnostics in the index and it will direct you to a page that shows how to perform an engine test. Do the test to see if you get a sheet of paper with lines on it. If you get lines, then the issue could be the formatter. If no lines and the shutter has been removed then I would think you are having high voltage issues. You may have to bring the printer in for service.

Converting Word to PDF blanks document and cannot do anything in word.

when i select convert to pdf in word it flashes a few times and then the document goes blank and word doesn't lock up but I can't do anythhing to the document but close it and doesn't ask to save or anything. It looks like when I select convert it creates a new blank document in place of original.
I can print to pdf fine but when I do that it does not retain bookmarks and can't figure out how to make it save them when using adobe printer driver

I have reinstalled the Adobe and did several repairs, then added adobe reader. when that did not work I reinstalled the Microsoft office 2013, still did not work. When I ran it in administrator it converted fine, so I though maybe permissions, check them and add the user onto the adobe folder, still did not work?????

When print selected, printer "prints" only blank sheets of paper. Cartridges ok and test print ok

Printer suddenly produces only blank sheets of paper when print job is set via desktop. HP Solution Center indicates ink levels ok. Printed a diagnostic page ok.

I have done all the diagnostics, alignment and cleaning, but it still will not print a test page. The page printed during alignment uses mostly blue colors. I tried printing an email and it printed every line or item that was blue on the original. All rest was blank. I have downloaded all recent fixes and drivers for Solution Center and printer.

Vista 64 - LaserJet P1505n - Word - printing only first 2 pages

I have a new Dell laptop with Vista 64 and HP LaserJet P1505n. When I try to print a multi page document in Word 2007, it only prints the first 2 pages. I have to tell it to print pages 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, etc. to get the rest of the pages. If I convert the same document to PDF, all pages print fine. Has any one resolved this issue?

it's getting more interesting:
I connected the printer directly via USB; Voila, works like a charm
Using wireless: problems.
Now it's specifically the wireless option why I choose this printer, so USB is not really an option.
Strange thing is: the HP Utility cannot find the printer wireless, not even if I enter the (static) IPv4 address.

Print only partial documents

Will not print full iteneraries, receipts, or documents with tables or Excel looking formats. Prints everything up to and after the tables. Occasionally will print HTML, but have had with PDF's, etc. Any ideas??

Adobe Reader, in particlar, has (somewhat) recently been updated to Adobe Reader DC -- this has created problems for people who have not updated the program on their computers and continue to use the old Adobe Reader format. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Printer Software In general, the printer depends on the printer software -- that is the Full Feature Software -- having been installed onto the computer, and that software running properly. Install Full Feature Software – Printer --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Print Preview In turn, the printer software makes use of Print Preview to allow the user to not only "preview" a print job, but also adjust the printing preferences and page setup. Print Preview is available from most Browsers (File > Print > Print Preview), from PDF Readers (Adobe Reader, Foxit), and from document editors (Word, WordPad). Manage Print Output with Print Preview Example:See Section titled: Adobe Reader DC Are the tables created within the document?If they are "added", remember that "cut and paste" does not work well in Word -- Use Insert instead. If the printer is low on black ink, some table lines that are "thin" may not show up at all because the line weight is not sufficient. This might be at least true for tables with "Excel looking formats" -- assuming I am imaging what you are describing. (Not likely, but there we are.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------General Comments Sucess generally depends on the ability of the printer to be able to translate the information in the browser web page / PDF file / document into something the printer can read and then dump onto paper with fonts that are the right size and in a format that matches the job requirement. Web developers -- the people who write web pages -- might not always follow the rules of good conduct: web developers might use fancy fonts that no one else has ever heard of, they might use dancing, twirly graphics that cause havoc when the job is handed off to the print software, and sometimes, they might break the page into pieces that do not print as even sized blocks on paper. When you print a web page, it is not always straight forward -- the printer sofware has a set of rules it can follow to translate the information it receives -- if the information falls outside those boundaries, something other than what you expect might be printed on that piece of paper.

Safari for windows printing only blank pages

Safari for Windows 5.1.1 will only print blank pages from my PC. Every other app prints perfectly to my networked printer and the printer shows up in Safari, but nothing on the paper. Any help??

Never was able to fix it, Juan. Safari just would not print on my Windows computer.
But I finally found another solution. I've switched from Windows computers to Macs and now I have none of those compatibility issues. I do have a few others from time to time, but no more Windows issues.
Buena suerte amigo

Hp 3510 prints only blank pages from i-pad, but works fine with xp configured lap top. why? help!

i have an hp3510 wireless printer that worked fine with both my i-pad and on my laptop when 1st installed. now it will only print blank pages with the i-pad although it still works fine when using my xp configured laptop. can anyone tell me how to correct the i-pad problem so that i can print wirelessly using that device?
thanks!
This question was solved.

I would start by powering down the Apple device, make sure that you hold the power button down, and slide the bar on the screen to "Off". If you have more that 1 iOS device that you use with the printer (like another iPad or an iPhone) power them down at the same time. Then turn them all back on and try to print to the printer.
If still having a problem, I would then power down the printer, router, and Apple device.
1. Unplug the router, (most do not have an on/off button)
2. power down printer and Apple device
3. Wait about 20-30 seconds
4. Plug router back in and wait for it to be fully operational and all the light on it back as they were before unplugging it.
5.Power printer and apple device back on (check to settings of iPad to make sure that it is still on the same network as printer and that "Ask to join other networks" is ON).
6. Reattempt to print

Why does the HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plusw sometimes print only blank pages yet sometimes works fine?

The subject line pretty much explains it. Sometimes I can't print at all, just getting sheet after sheet of blank pages from the printer, even if I tell the printer to cancel printing.
Sometimes it works just fine.
Today was one of the blank page days. Help!
Thanks!

Let's start by resetting the printer. Turn it off, hold the # and 6 keys while and a bit after turning it back on.
What router brand/model are you using? What operating system on your computer?

Prints only one document before needing reset

I have a Samsung ML-1710 connected to my TC by USB. The TC is a member of my wireless network and has WSD remote enabled. After I power on the TC I am able to wirelessly print one document regardless of its size. The second document goes to the printer without any errors but it is never printed. Restarting the printer or computer does not help. But if I power cycle the TC, and resend the document I get one more document. Any ideas? Thanks

The Bluetooth work around as worked for most customers and does not for some. This is for both Vista 64 and Windows 7 64. With your case it sounds like the Bluetooth partnership needs to be renewed. To do that delete both partnerships from the device and then re-add them.

Printing only blank pages and Page setup dialog box is black

When I go to firefox - Print - Print preview - Page setup OR
Firefox - Print - page setup
This dialogue box is black. I can't move or adjust it. Nothing is on that screen.
When I print a webpage (ctrl P, or Firefox, print) nothing is printing.
I tried a suggestion of resetting by following the instructions here. That did not work.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer

I just experienced this problem, and stumbled upon the cause and the fix. When I went to "File" and then "Print Preview" I was getting a "black" screen where the preview should have been. I tried the suggested fixes related to about:config printer settings and add-on's, etc... but it did not help.
Then, I looked at the "Page Set-up" when I was on the "Print Preview" page. The bottom margin (for whatever strange reason... have no clue) was set at a huge number of inches... like 43801.4 or some such. I changed it back to 0.3 inches... fixed it. Can print just fine now.
So... if all else fails: check your margin settings on page set-up.

Safari reader prints only blank page

Da qualche giorno l'applicazione Reader, pur visualizzandomi la pagina, al momento della stampa stampa solo pagine bianche.
Come posso rimediare?
Ho già provato a reinstallare Safari, ma non è cambiato nulla.
Grazie

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
