Print activates but page comes out blank

I have a Photosmart eStation C510a that I have been using for over two years with no problems. The problem I have now is that when I send a file to print a page comes out but it is blank like no ink is being disbursed. I have new ink cartridges installed and they read as full. Is there a fix or do I need to send for repairs?

I cleaned the printheads and it fixed the issue for now thanks to the response to another post. It is great to have a group where you can find potential fixes before having to go for repairs or a replacement.

First page comes out blank

Photosmart 8250 Every time I print after turning the printer on, the first page comes out blank then every thing goes allright. What/how to correct?
Thank you.

the problem you are facing might be because in first page general attributes you had not defined next page as page 2 ..as you are saying the desired thing is happening oon pages 2 and 3 but not for 1 and 2
so from this it seems that linking of pages might be missing.
Hope it helps you

I have a Canon Pixima MP530, ALL Pages Come out Blank, ink tanks are full!

I have a Canon Pixima MP530, all ink tanks are full, printer goes through the motions of printing but all pages come out blank. I am using windows 7. all functions seem to work, except no ink comes out it was working perfectly 2 nights ago. I called canon tech support but they have no idea whats going on with it. am thinking maybe the print head is shot? Any suggestions are welcomed, I LOVE this printer and need it to work.

with that kind of issue it could be the print head oooor it could be the part of the printer that suctions ink into the print head, it's hard to tell. You could take it to a service facility, but it would probably cost you more to repair it to replace it.

Canon Pixma 922 - when I copy a document the pages come out blank.

When I copy a document the pages came out blank.
Also, when I print an MS-Word document, the pages come out blank, however, if I print an HTML document from a website, the printer prints fine.

Hi dstei33162,
Since HTML documents are printing correctly, it is possible that the large black ink tank in the unit may be clogged. You can print a nozzle check pattern from the printer to see if the inkjet nozzles are dispensing the ink correctly. To do this, please follow the steps located here. Once it is printed, please examine it and compare it to a correctly print pattern here. If all of the colors are not appearing, including the black grid at the top above the colors, performing print head cleanings on the unit may resolve the issue. To perform the cleanings, please follow the steps located here. We recommend performing at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings.
Should you still experience difficulty, the printer may require servicing; please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

I have changed cartridges, re-installed drivers, re-started computer. Still pages come out blank

I have changed cartridges, re-installed drivers, re-started computer, aligned cartridges, cleaned printer head. Still pages come out blank even when just making copies. What else can I do?

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?

When printing/copying pages come out blank on hp psc 2175

When I print or copy the printer processes a page like it is printing but the pages are blank. The ink cartridges are new and the print head (?) goes across the page like it is printing. The printer is an hp psc 2175 and I am using windows 7. The last thing I did on this printer before it would not print/copy was to scan several documents using Windows Live Photo Gallery and this scanned correctly. What can I do to get it to print/copy again?
Thanks!

When the printer is not printing black ink and printing out blank sheets ... beware the cartidge sometimes does not insert in proper alignment even though you hear the click. Look closely at the cartridge after you insert it. Make sure it is not slightly tilted. And make sure it is dead center, not further to one side than the other because it will not make proper contact. Also 2 more good suggestions here... http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Ink-Toner-Cartridge-Printhead/HP-Officejet-6500-Wireless-will-not-print...
PS- the HP 1210 will print without the color cartridge installed!
Also it is not that hard to refill cartridges yourself. Look how much ink you get for so cheap... http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=ie8search-20&index=blended&linkCode=qs&camp=1789&creativ...

HP Deskjet 5740 Printer acts like it's printing, but blank pages come out.

I have an HP Deskjet 5740 printer. It has worked until recently and now when I try to print it won't out of any applications. It acts like it's printing, but pages come out blank. When I do a test it works or when I try on my work mac it works as well. So I know it's not a printer problem or USB cord. I have tried to reinstall the driver and also to "repair disk permissions," but to no avail. Thanks for your help!

Take out one of the cartridges and make sure you pulled off the tape covering the head and pin hole. I haven't dealt with Epson printers for a while but I remember buying cartridges for one of my printers that the tape always seemed to peel off leaving the hole plugged.
If this isn't the problem then it boils down to two things: bad cartridges or printer problems. Different printers are susceptible to two different problems; dried ink in the ink lines and air bubbles. You can try cleaning again and again, using the power cleaning mode if Epson offers that. This wastes ink but you have little choice if you want to resurrect the printer. If this doesn't work try returning the cartridges for a refund and see if that works.
Three simple rules tend to keep inkjet printer problems at bay: print something at least once a week. This will keep the ink from drying out. When the printer tells you ink has run out get a new cartridge. This will reduce the chances of getting an air bubble in the line. Buy ink only from reputable vendors and don't fill your own.

The first sheet coming out is always blank Also how can I have the pages come out 1-9 instead of

first page come out blank I want sheets to come out 1-9 not 9-1

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen? Do you have a separator page selected? The page order typically may be changed in the Advanced tab of printer preferences, look for a "Page order" selection with an option of "Front to Back" or "Back to Front"

Why does my printer work but the paper comes out blank. ink cartridges are full.

My printer sounds like it is printing but the paper comes out blank. The ink cartridges are full.

What printer model - there are about a dozen HP Photosmart Premium models including the c309a, b, c, g, h and n and the c410a,b,c,d and e.
There are a few things to check - I would suggest running up to three cycles of print head cleaning from the front panel or toolbox. Do copies also come out blank? Try the steps in this page, starting at about Solution 6. Does any ink at all print on the test page?
For some models there are firmware updates available that are only delivered through the web connection. Make sure the printer has been connected and perform any updates that are available for the firmware.

No matter what I try to print from firefox it comes out as a blank page.. unlike other similar posts on this site my print preview is NOT blank. It looks normal, but then only blank pages shoot out of the printer.
I am using two different printers.
I CAN print to both printers from the SAME websites using chrome or IE10 but it CANNOT print to EITHER of them from firefox.
I HAVE ALREADY tried every trouble shooting step located here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox
I HAVE ALREADY tried the 'reset' firefox and I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. None have solved the problem in any way.
