My printer is printing the page and approximately 10 seconds later spits out a blank page.

My printer is printing the page and approximately 10 seconds later spits out a blank page. When I am printing multiple copies they print and then there is a blank second page. I have HP paper. By the way my printer is only 3 weeks old. I have cleaned the rollers, no paper jam...Started out of the blue. I have tried printing current page only....printing selection only...this is a pain and I expect more out of a new product. Was in love with it until now. I cannot even make it print a test page from the control panel.

Welcome to the HP Community ,  I noticed your post about your Officejet 6100 now printing out blank pages after changing the ink cartridges, and wanted to reach out to you with my own suggestions. I would say to have a look at the guide below and try the troubleshooting steps to see if they can clear up the blank page printing concern. You can also power reset the printer and make sure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power. If the issue continues, please contact HP directly to see about a replacement printer if the printer is still under warranty, and if not, perhaps they may have a trade in option. Troubleshooting guide: HP Officejet 6100 ePrinter Series (H611) - Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues Reset Instructions:Turn the printer on.
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the unit.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the unit.
If the printer does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.  If you need to reach HP, here is their contact information:Step 1. Open link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
Step 2. Enter Product number or select to auto detect
Step 3. Scroll down to "Still need help? Complete the form to select your contact options"

Printing from firefox spits out extra blank page

When I print from Firefox my printer firsts spits out a blank page before printing what was expected.

I have a similar issue -- a page before is printed and after the actual document.
yes -- the blank page appears in preview. I was able to get rid of the first one with this CSS:
@media print {
body * { float: none !important; }
But I still get the blank page afterwards.
Not sure why, but I'll let you know if I find anything else

HT1349 I'm on pages and for some reason this time, on a blank page, I cannot get the curser to show up. Any ideas?

I'll guess that you've opened a page layout template which does not have a text layer, therefore no cursor. You'll need to add text boxes or shapes to type in. If you just want to write a letter or similar, close the current document & then choose a blank document from the word processing section of the template chooser.

Mpc2500/dsc525 spitting out multiple blank pages

I've a mac mini running mavericks 10.9.4. I've a Gestetner MPC2500/DSc525 printer. When I attempt to print something the printer merely spits out mostly blank pages. some of the pages contain random lettering and numbers and special characters. But there is nothing resembling the document I'm trying to print. The printer will run until every last piece of paper has fed through the printer.
I've deleted the printer and added it again multiple times attempting to use different drivers. I've installed using the drivers that were included on a disk, but I didn't really think that would work since it looks like the drivers were written in 2005. I've gone to linuxfoundation.org and downloaded drivers from there, but when I tried to install them when installing the printer through the add printers dialogue, it won't allow me to select drivers that I've downloaded. I've read on the apple site that this printer is supported and that the drivers are available. It does appear that the drivers are available on my mac because on a few of my setup attempts I chose the select software option and in the list of available printer software was the model and number referenced in subject line of this post. However, no matter how many times I do this, I always get the same result; multiple blank pages.
I've worked on this on and off for a month with no result. I'me having to send documents to co-workers to ask them to print for me. Any help would be appreciated.

I would agree with greg about trying the Generic PCL drivers. Those will only give you black and white though.
In reading through your post, I don't think you actually installed the driver packages (pxlmono, Foomatic-RIP, Ghostscript) from the linuxfoundation.org site. Many, many users get confused when there are software installers and disk images. The very short version of the procedure is to temporarily disable Gatekeeper in the Security System Preferences. Then double-click on each of the disk image (.dmg) files. This will mount a pseudo disk that contains an installer. Double click on the installer package to install the software. It might be worth a look at http://www.howtogeek.com/177619/how-to-install-applications-on-a-mac-everything- you-need-to-know/ for a description of the various ways Mac software is distributed and installed.
Once the software from linuxfoundation.org is installed, you should not have to point the Printer & Scanners pane to any software. You should easily be able to see the Gestetner MPC2500/DSc525 PXL driver.

Pixma 410 prints one page {as wanted} then spits out 7 blank pages Why ??

This happens when i use page setup in print preview to resize the image.
Print dialog box indicates all pages as selected
Not able to make any other selection. Display of print que shows 8 pages to print. One page of image is printed,
(as wanted} followed by 7 blank pages. ?? Help

Hello LRK.
The issue may be related to the document or program that you are currently attempting to print from.
If you are printing from the web, you may experience a cut off depending on how the page was formatted.
To resolve this issue, please check to see if a 'Print' option is available inside or around the article or email you wish to print. This should properly format the page for printing.
If you continue to have difficulties, please copy the text and then paste it into your desired word processing program for printing.

Why does my hp d7260 printer spit out a blank page each time one is printed?

Often the printer will print out the desired page and than a eject the next page (blank with no intention of printing on it). It will have a blank page between each multipage printing. It always does this on printing from my wife's computer and sometimes from mine. The printer is connected to our home network. I am using xp and my wife is using vista. I haven't kpet track of every incident from my computer but usually printing something from my browser. I run the paper through again so it is not a waste but just a pain.
Thanks George

This sounds like an issue that could result from having A4 sized paper but having the printer settings set for A size. Please check the paper settings.

Fennec installs on Kindle HD, but when selected, opens and 3-5 seconds later drops out. Is there support coming?

Gets installed-as shown; gets icon-as shown; opens fine from icon--crashes back to icon after 3-5 seconds of display of homepage.
fennec-15.0 being used.
Are there other parameters I need to manipulate to get this to work? Have tried automatic and mobile setting for firefox--same results.

Did something a little different and it worked. fennec 10.0 works without fail on kindle fire. I guess know that a level of support is established as a baseline, we should be able to walk it up from here. This is a Kindle Fire right out of the box. Two previous fennec 15.0 installs went fine, however fennec crashed after 3-5 seconds. I googled a couple more things and found where someone had gone to ftp site and pulled down 10.0. Definitely works. Clean install...open right up and has yet to crash. Have already browsed around a couple site and still going strong.

I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! It seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! I see no printers available in the Print & Scan area. If I click "+" it seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

The printer component uses a different protocol to advertise itself on the network compared to the scanner component and it can take several seconds longer to appear after the scanner has.
That said, with the introduction of AirPrint, the MG should be seen as Bonjour Multifunction in the Add Printer window, as shown below.
Selecting this Bonjour Multifunction entry will create a printer using AirPrint and a scanner using the iCA driver.
So do you see the MG5220 as Bonjour Multifunction or just Bonjour?

So, I've taken my panasonic printer back to the shop and exchenged it for a Canon MF-4430. Alas... the generic drivers do not make it print. Is it possible to get drivers to make this canon printer work with my lovely Mac Book Pro Snow Leopard, 6.8?

I could not find a MF-4430 at the Canon site. Are you sure the model is correct? They have a MF4450. The Mac drivers are here:

If you are sure you have a MF4430, look around the canon site for the drivers.

Acrobat on OSX does not use printer preset. Every single time I have to print I have to click printer and then print to load the preset and then click print again from the main dialog. I am printing to a Xerox that has the copier code in the preset so if I don't do this it will not print. This has been broken for in every version I have tried. This extra clicks are taking years off my life. Did I remember to do the extra clicks? I don't know, I guess I will run down the hall and check. Please fix this.

What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

It's possible that the pages you are attempting to open simply won't work with that old web browser.
If you're using Mac OS X Tiger, update to the latest version, which is 10.4.11. (You might be using that already. Your profile says you're running 10.4.1, but I bet that's just a typo.)
Then get the latest version of Safari that will run on Tiger. (And... you have that already: 4.1.3.)
You might try a more modern browser designed specifically for your current OS. That would be TenFourFox.

I want to delete several iPhone backups to both the iCloud and my computer. I know there is a page to amage this, but I can not find it?

I want to delete several older iPhone backups to the cloud and my computer. I know there is a page to manage this, but I am unable to find it?

david.menzel's response takes care of the iCloud backups. If you have backups to iTunes as well (which I'm not sure whether the "my computer" part of your question is implying or not), you would remove those by opening iTunes, then go to Preferences>Devices, click on the backup you want deleted, then on Delete Backup.
Cheers,
