Print Job Goes Through But No Pages Come Out

I am printing wirelessly from my laptop to a printer that is connected by ethernet cable to a timecapsule. It printed fine but havent used it in a while and now when I send a print job it shows in the printer queue and processes normally with no errors but nothing shows up in the printer tray.

If the printer is set for DHCP, ensure the IP address has not changed. Or better still, set a static address for the printer so that you don't have to worry about the printer queue changing.
If the address is correct, try a ping from the laptop to the printer. If you get a reply, disconnect the printers Ethernet and then try pinging again. If you still get a response then you have an addressing issue on your network.
If you don't get a reply with the Ethernet disconnected, then reconnect the Ethernet and turn off the printer. Then power cycle the TC and allow a minute for the network to stabilize. Then power the printer back on and try printing again.

  • I want to buy an hp m1536 laserjet for my ipad printing, I believe the printer is not wireless but has sprint. Is the print job going through my wireless router and does that router need to support AirPrint.

    I want to buy an hp m1536 laserjet for my ipad printing, I believe the printer is not wireless but has sprint. Is the print job going through my wireless router and does that router need to support AirPrint.

    The following model is airprint compatible, is this the one you have?
    HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf MFP
    If not the "dnf MFP" model, then no.
    The router needs to support the Bonjour protocol.  If not, the airprint won't work.

  • 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.

  • I can't print web pages since a recent upgrade to 4.01. The print command works but the page comes out empty. right now a copy the link to IE and print from there. HELP!

    When printing from the mozilla 4.01 browser the printer spits out blank pages. It seems like it happened after downloading and running mozilla 4.01 browser.
    I have to copy the link to IE (boo!) to print the coupon or page on my printer.
    Why?

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

  • DVD/CD goes in but won't come out

    I seemed to run into a common problem that I noticed a lot of people had.  I looked at some of the solutions and thought there has to be an easier way, if my mac doesn't think there is a disc in there, and I can't make it eject.....what would be the easiest solution?  I went to Itunes, selected one of my playlists and then selected burn to disc, since there is already a disc in there I figured it's either going to burn it, eject it or do nothing.  On the screen popped up the message insert an empty disc, and the disc in my drive came out normally.  We are back to normal, it hasn't happened since and I believe the problem occured because I deleted a file that was connected with the disc in question while it was in the mac.  But there's a simple solution, hope it works for you too. 

    Yes I have had several tickets sent to the network team.  Nothing useful has ever come of it.

    Where, thank you for sharing your concerns about the device. I understand how important it is to have a reliable internet connection. You are correct, the last software update was made to address these issues with going dormant and losing connection. Please make sure you have the most recent version. Also, I see from another post that you have already had the device replaced twice for this issue. Our next step would be a trouble ticket sent to our network team. Have you had a ticket submitted for this issue before? If not, please send me a PM with your name & the mobile number for your device. 

  • HP Officejet 6000 pages go in but blank page comes out

    I posted this problem last week, but still have not resolved it.  Approx 2 weeks ago the printer was used with a new black cartridge installed everything worked fine.  A few days later I needed to print out some forms and all that spit out of the printer was blank pages. I purchased a new black cartridge and installed it even though I had only about 50 pages on my other black cartridge.  I have tried unpluging printer, taking out cartridges, and printhead and then reinstalling everything and plugging in printer again.  I've tried cleaning the printhead also.   I'm at a lost and I really need to get some forms printed out today. 
    PLEASE HELP ME TODAY!!!

    Hi jac49,
    I understand you have an Officejet 6000 that is pulling in the pages, but doesn't seem to be putting any ink on the pages. I'm sorry to hear this and will certainly do my best to assist you!
    I would suggest that you start by following this Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues document and if at the end it's still not printing the black ink, I would suggest that you try manually cleaning your printhead.
    If that still doesn't resolve the issue, the last option would be to follow Bob_Headrick's suggestion of soaking your printhead.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • 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.

  • 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?
    This question was solved.

    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.

  • Print job starts, stops on last page of job, then finally restarts.

    Hello, I have an HP Office Jet Pro 8500 (A909), connected via router (ethernet cable). Windows 8, HP Pavillion machine, i5 processor, 64 bit, 6gigs ram
    The print job starts, stops on last page of job, then finally restarts, then starts whole print job over with same results; pausing for about a minute, restarting and finishing job but the driver must detect that the job - still in the queue - is not done and starts again.
    I've swapped ethernet cables with the same results. I can print over the wireless network with other computers and do not have this issue.
    I thought it was a driver issue so I uninstalled/reinstalled HP software, with all available updates, same results.
    The only work around at my disposal now, other than printing from another machine, is to wait for the last page to print and manually clear the queue so the job doesn't print again. Suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hey @DavidWW ,
    Thank you for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us! Also thank you for taking the time to thoroughly explain the issue, much appreciated. 
    I understand you are having an issue with the last page printing late, the computer not recognizing it, re-printing and so on. You need to print, wait for stall and then last page and then clear queue to stop the printer. That is truly annoying, however; I might have a fix for you in 1 simple post... maybe not, but maybe at least.
    Try the tool I have posted below and run the print fix option.

  • 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.

  • HT204023 How do I set up to print from my iPad directly to a wi-fi direct printer WITHOUT going through my household  wi-fi network/modem?

    How do I set up to print from my iPad directly to a "wi-fi direct" printer WITHOUT going through my household wi-fi network/modem? I want to get rid of my household internet service/modem and only use my iPad, but need to be able to print. Please help! Thank you!

    Depending on the printer, you may be able to connect/print by creating an ad-hoc (Wi-Fi direct with no router) connection. Check with your printer manufacturer to see if this is supported.
    There's a ton of info out there. You could google "ipad print ad-hoc" for some useful info. But the number one thing for you right now is to verify that your printer model supports an ad-hoc connection.
