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.

  • 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.

  • HP 6310 started printing 2nd blank page

    Hello,
    After a year or two of use, my printer ALWAYS prints a second blank page after the document is printed. Paper jams are also getting more common. Is there a "fix" or is there somewhere I can get a repair done if needed.
    Thanks,
    Tom Allen

    Hello there @sirknite ,
    I read your post about your printing out blank pages from your Windows 8 system however, this issue does not occur on another PC. In the details you have mentioned, it seems to be an issue with the software on your Windows 8 system, as the other computer does not have a problem. To test this theory, try printing from another program to see if blank pages will still print out. This way, we will know if the problem is originating in one specific program, or in the printer driver.
    Skipping ahead a little bit, try running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
    Try printing again, and if any blank pages still print out, try Uninstalling the Printer Software, restarting the computer completely, and download and reinstall the printer here: HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers
    Please write me back with your findings and all of the results from your troubleshooting. Include which programs you have tested out and any other helpful information you may have came across.
    Happy New Year!

  • 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!

    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?

  • 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

  • I have a HP 6310 Printer and I am having problems with it. It has started printing only portions. Of

    Hello
    My HP 6210 is not printing properly. It appears to be a software problem not an ink cartridge problem. It will print parts of a document and skip other parts, leaving a document that looks as if some sections were left out purposely. The color of pictures is real screwed up. Overall, it prints in a light blue print. 

    Forget about HP software, it's in your best interest to totally uninstall it and use the tools available in OS X. The best place to get started is:

  • 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.

    Bob
    Thank you for your kind consideration of my problem. Up until the software started to print blank pages the preview pane always showed the selected print within the selected layout. Something has changed. Lightroom will print to the JPEG file but only a blank page on the Epson 2880. I've been in contact with Epson support and an IT tech and they tell me the problem is with Lightroom. I'm at my wits end and thinking of upgrading but the glitch may carry over. Uninstalling and reinstalling and deleting the preferences file did nothing to rectify the situation.
    Thanks again!

  • Printing only changed pages

    In my department, we produce large technical manuals that are distributed to users around the world.  When small changes are made to the manuals, we only distribute the changed pages (including the back side of the changed page since the documents are printed double-sided).  Is there an automated way to only print the changed pages with the necessary back pages?

    Rick Quatro at http://www.frameexpert.com has a plugin that will print only changed pages; I don't see it listed on his website at the moment, but if you contact him he'll be able to give you more details.
    Rick's very, very familiar with the complications of dealing with changed pages in FM.
