Printer dispenses a blank page after every printing!

Suddenly my printer is dispensing a blank sheet of paper after almost every printing. Oddly, the only thing unusual I've done, relating to the hp printer,  is downloading the HP Printer Assistant and the HP Printer and Scan Doctor! I've checked all relative settings and nothing seems out of the ordinary or different.

Hi @ibgb 
Another user recently posted what he/she tried to resolve this same issue. Perhaps it might work for you too;
 I reset my top and bottom margins and test printed and scanned and it did not put out any blank sheets.  - Source
If this doesn't resolve the issue, please try the following;
1. Touch the Windows key on the keyboard to get to the start screen, then without clicking anything type Devices and Printers, and tap or click the Devices and Printers icon.
2. Right click on the printer icon and click on printer properties.
3. Then click on Advance Tab, and click on the Separator Page tab.
4. A small windows open with the location of the file. Delete the path, click ok to save the settings.
I hope this helps.

    Laserjet 1160 printer runs a blank page between every printed page after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet.

  • 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.

  • HP 2510 Photosmart - blank page with every print job

    Any suggestions?

    Helo again John
    Um, rather too many steps in that for me to wade laboriously through for the sake of the odd blank page at the end of each print run (it's an annoying issue, but not life threatening though!).
    But I can assure you that:
    1.  my PC to printer connections are fine
    2.  ink levels are fine
    3.  I clean my PC drives and registry regualrly (at least once every week) and this problem has persisted for months
    4.  I have rebooted my PC several times in the last few months, and also restarted the printer (due in part to occasional power cuts)
    5.  I have no software installed that I can delete
    6.  Test pages alays print fine (no extar page there then).
    7.  The extra page comes from all types of programme - Word, Adobe, Notepad etc)
    Cheers

  • New hp envy all in one printer shows a blank page after scanning

    I just went through this problem with my old printer and hp sent me a refurbished (new) one. I go to scan something into my computer and it won't scan. It shows a blank page on preview. I checked the settings and they all seem to be right. I am not wanting to spend 3 hours with support and another 3 weeks to get a new printer. Can you help me?

    Please check the copying function. Is that blank.
    If the printer is copying blank there could be something else wrong with the Envy 120
    We have had reports of pages being placed upside down.
    The Envy 120 scans with the original facing up.

  • How can I stop Address Book (Lion) from printing an extra blank page when I print an envelope

    Whenever I print a mailing envelope in Lion's Address Book, it prints fine but then prints a blank page following. How can I stop this?

    HP printers for years have had a problem printing an extra envelope from the Apple Addressbook Application with the # 10 envelope.
    Solution: Select a #9  envelop.  This prints about the same size and does not have an extra envelop.
    How to: From Address book, select print, Style: Envelopes, Layout: Layout pulldown Official 9 then print
    Interestingly the two smaller and two larger sizes only print one envelope. You can test this by clicking pdf and open pdf in preview.
    Over the years I have called HP and they couldn't solve the problem.
    I have told Apple today when I figures out the workaround.

  • Printer icon (queue) in Dock After Every Print.... WHY??

    Anyone else experiencing this? After every single print job, on both my MacBook Pro and my iMac, I have to click on my printer icon (print queue box) and QUIT manually. This never happened before my 10.5 Leopard upgrade. Same printer as before, same computers as before. Is this some kind of new setting? Why do I have to see/close the print queue after every single print job sent? This is so time consuming and becoming very annoying. Is this a bug in Leopard or is there a setting that changed after my 10.5 Leopard upgrade???

    i was having the same problem, did a quick search in the forums, and found that this is already discussed and solved several times

  • HP C5580 Printer feeds one blank page before actually printing

    Good morning,
    For the record I am using a Compaq Presario AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3300+, 2411MHz/1.93 GBs RAM, running Windows Xp Home, SP3., with IE8.
    For the past few months I have been using a HP Photosmart C5580 All-In-One printer and I am more than satisfied with its performance.  
    However, the past few weeks I have noticed that when I print anything the printer will send out a 'blank' page before it actually starts printing my job.  
    This isn't the end of the world but I am curious (1) why this just started to happen in the last couple of days and (2) is there a setting I can change to stop this blank page from preceding all my print jobs?
    Thanks and regards,
    2harts4ever

    Howdy,
    Update:  It appears my problem is solved.  Somehow my paper wasn't lined up correctly.  Once I took care of that the blank page no longer kicked out first.

  • Hp 932c printer sends a blank page after printing. Win7. suddenly started doing this.

    This suddenly started a couple of days ago.

    Hi there lonelyshepard,
    Just to make sure this is not software related lets try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • OfficeJet 6500 prints blank fax page after every other fax page

    How can I stop the printer from printing a blank page after every other incoming fax. If the fax is 5 pages, I get 10 (5 of which are blank). Tried HP support, and they can't fix this.

    Sorry that you are experiencing this issue with printing blank pages. This can be a issue with the print head. You can try to clean the print head with a lint free cloth and water. 
    Another thing would be to perform a hard reset on the printer. Unplug the power cord from the back. Leave it out for 30 seconds and plug it back in. 
    See if you can print a self-test page or printer status report.
    Let me know what happens.

  • Why does my HP LaserJet 4 Plus put out blank page after print page?

    why does my laser Jet 4 Plus put out a blank sheet after every print page

    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.

  • HP 7280 outputs a blank page before every page printed

    Newly-installed 7280 works fine, but everytime something is printed, it outputs a blank page before every printed page.  This is true whether printing from Word, IE, Outlook, Quicken, Photoshop, etc.
    I have checked all likely culprits in the printer dialog boxes, including clearing the Separator Page option.
    Any thoughts?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    are your computers running windows XP or Vista? because in Vista, if it uses the pre-installed drivers that come with the OS, then it prints blank sheets between the printed sheets. if you install the driver from the CD directly, then it has resolved the issue a lot of times for me.
    so to the properties of the printer, and go to the Advanced Tab, and click in New Driver. and in teh wizard, select HP Photosmart 'C7200' and not Photosmart '7200' (considering it is the Photosmart C7280). that should work.

  • Printer sends extra blank pages

    I have an HP all in one Photosmart C7280.  Recently, the printer started sending a blank page after ever printed page.  This happens whether I am sending a single page document or a multipage document.  It happens whether I am printing from any of my software products or from a downloading web document.
    Any ideas??

    This may be overly simplistic, or not apply.
    The same thing has happened to me in the past within office, and I realized what was happening. If I was to create a document, and thereafter remove text, I would get a blank page as supplemental to the printed one. What I realized was that I needed to set the cursor at the end of the text, and delete everything beyond. This way, in some instances, I had one less page than I started with, and the printer only produced pages with text and no extra. I don't know if this will help you or not. I'm waiting for someone to help me with my issue and happened to run across yours. Good luck either way.
