Printer spits out blank pages v8.1.3

When I hit print button, my printer spits out blank pages
(about the same number as there are pages in the pdf document). The
printer works fine with other programs (Word, Excel etc.) but not
with the Acrobat 8.1.3
What gives?

HP printer spitting out extra pages

Anyone else experience this: When printing from the web, my HP printer spits out a bunch (say 3-4) of blank pages and then prints the page(s) that are specified.
(Apparently I'm full of printing issues lately...)
Any suggestions? It does it regardless of browser. (netscape, safari and foxfire)
Thanks!

Not recently, but I can tell you that my Epson printer prints web pages perfectly. It's worth a shot, however, so I'll try it. Ya never know.

Printer spewing out blank pages

hi. suddenly yesterday when i try to print anything from my documents which i use microsoft office 2010 , it is spewing out blank pages.
it sounds as if it is printing but nothing comes on the paper, i have new inks in and if i use a craft program it will print.
i have done the help doctor program and it says eveything is okay and prints a test paper
anyone any ideas please

Does this printer have a removeable print cartridge and was there a long period of time that the printer was not used? Have you tried performing the automated print-head cleaining? Do that three times as well.

Printer shoots out blank pages

When I try to print from the internet (articles, plane boarding pass, etc) the printer shoots out 3-4 blank pages. I must email everything to myself and then print from that account. How can I print directly from the internet (steps required)?

Sometimes web pages won't print their content
consistently, so making a pdf of the page first
may help; and notice when you go to print a
page that was saved as PDF if the file page
looks blank to the print section's Preview.
Sometimes even PDFs look blank to Preview
mode in the print section, of the web page
content is not something readily seen by the
browser and Preview.
And on occasion, using a different browser
may help. For general pdf issues, if Preview
will not give you a good result, try Acrobat's
Reader. They've renamed it a few times, and
some files still prefer that over Preview in OSX.
On rare occasions, I have had to make screenshot
images of web pages to get a printable content.
That is OK, as far as one can drag to select; since
the page will not scroll when trying to get a larger
than desktop size screenshot selective capture.
There has to be a more definitive answer to this.
In Panther, it was not as apparent; in Tiger it is.
Good luck & happy computing!

I highlight selection in my email, click print/selection, printer spits out a page with nothing on it

Yahoo email...months ago I could highlight and print selection
Can select and print selection from everywhere (document files, web pages) except email

Yahoo has been changing its mail design. Are you trying to print from the "print optimized" view (which opens in a pop-up window or separate tab)? Depending on which version of Yahoo mail you have, this may be on the "More" menu or somewhere else. (Sometimes I get a popup block; in that case, trying again works for me.)
More generally...
When Firefox produces a blank page printing a selection, this could be because the selection is laid out "off" the page (e.g., to the side or on a later page). The position of the selection on the page depends on how the page was laid out by the site design. Firefox sometimes will isolate the selection at the beginning of the print job, but very often will keep it within the original layout and simply blank the rest of the content. This can be wasteful or even useless.
Here are some workarounds:
(1) [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/ Nuke Anything Enhanced extension]
See: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/927457#answer-333518 When using print selection in Firefox 12.0, it prints wherever the selection is on the page (on paper) instead of at the top of the page (of paper)].
(2) Use a bookmarklet (snippet of JavaScript saved as a button on your bookmarks toolbar) to isolate the selection for printing.
This is the technique I generally use due to force of habit. The details are in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/943039#answer-384875 this post].
Any luck?

My HP PSC 2175 printer spits out blank paper while I try to print.

I have Windows XP service pack 3. My printer(HP PSC 2175 All-in-one) use to work well until few days before. I leave the printer unused for few days and now when I came back to use it , it simply picks up paper scans( a ledger like light runs to and fro at the top end of paper) and spits the paper out.This only happens when I try to print. I can still make black copies well from the same machine. I only have Note pad and Word Pad. It does the same with both. I tried with pdf document too. It still persists its problem. But if I open the Hp service tool box through printing preference and print the test page it prints.
I have tried every thing that I can do. I've repalced the new cartiage, uninstalled the existing driver softer and installed new from hp website. Updated them and what not.
Can you tell me what is wrong with my printer? pls.

Hi,
It looks like you've tried some of the troubleshooting steps listed in this document, but there are a few more to try first. Click on the + besides the XP section and follow the steps in order. See if this helps, if it doesn't I'll look for some more.

Shot out blank pages

troub le with -- printer prob lems after align of which i do not understand need for --- printer shot out blank pages above diane

I've had a similar problem with black not printing, though my printer is a B8550. I bought new and have used it fairly lightly I'd say, but after only a couple of years it suddenly stopped printing the photo black (it has separate cartridges for black for photos and black for text, etc.).
It prints on regular printer paper just fine using the other black--but not a drop prints of the Photo Black (yes, it's full). Since I've cleaned the print head, and even bought a new one, and a diagnostic print shows absolutely no trace of the photo black, I'm fairly sure the printer itself is at fault. It's sold as a 'Photosmart' printer, meaning it's intended to use to print photos--large format too--so without photo black it is a huge brick as far as I'm concerned.
I've begun to notice from these forum posts that there is an issue with HP and black ink, or at least whatever controls black for photo papers in their inkjet printers. If I'm not mistaken both yours and mine use the 564 cartridges, so maybe that suggests a common factor in such printers that is the culprit. I suspect HP knows there is a problem, either with the hardware or firmware, and I wish they would do right by us.

HP Laserjet 2600xi new drivers prints garbage spits out blanks

A friend called me about this problem and all I knew to do was to get the latest drivers and install them after removing all traces of old HP software. They're using an eMac with OS 10.4.11. The problem may have a simple solution. When they send a file to print, at first there is a page of 'garbage' printed followed by the printer just 'spitting out' blank sheets until they turn it off.
Any ideas to try? It could be a corrupt spool folder I suppose but don't know where to look for the file.
Thanks

Thanks, Greg. You are right that the 2600xi is Photosmart rather than Laserjet. I was just passing on the info given me by the owner who is frankly clueless. He asked my advice because I'm somewhat more experienced. I don't know how the rpinter was added to the Print & Fax pref pane.
As far as using the HP drivers I've gotten them to install new ones and had them look to see if the printer was recognized in the Printer Setup Utility.app. It was and that's the last time I talked to them. I may have to go and make a house call. Thanks for your information and advice. I'll get back with any update.

HP PSC 2175 spits out blank paper while I print.

I have Dell GX520 Desktop PC with Windows XP service pack 3 and HP PSC 2175 all-in-one printer. Since few days I m having trouble printing with my printer. When I try to print it simply picks up the paper scans it and spits out blank paper instead of printing it. There is no any error message or flashing light or any thing in the printer.
But still I can make copy or print the test page from it. The only thing is I can't print any document from WordPad or NotePad or through Adobe Reader. I don't have Office on my PC.
I have tried every thing that I can do. Uninstall the driver and reinstalled it downloading from HP website,updated the drivers manually, replaced new cartridges and what not. But I still have the problem. It would be so helpful if you have any solution to this problem.

I'm having the same problem....
The computer is a hp pavilion.
When trying to print, It loads the paper, It checks the paper position, then it just ejects the paper.
I opened the print job que and watched it.
When the print job ques up, it shows the job...then deletes the job before printing it.
It has been working fine up until a few days ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

Every time I do a print job, My printer spits out extra blank paper. I have a HP Photosmart Premium

I have HP Photosmart Premium. Everytime I do a print job my printer spits out extra paper. Sometime it says something Like Page 2 of 2 and other time it is just blank , Some of the pages have a gray line across the bottom. I try to reuse what I can, but would like to know how to stop this.

Typically this is an error in the software connection with the printer. However, one can test this to narrow the issue down by printing a self test page or by making a copy with the printer. If the unit produces no extra pages, then most likely it is coming from the computer.
If you are USB connected, then I would advise unplugging the USB cable to the printer and restarting the PC. While the PC is restarting, I would advise performing a Hard Reset to the printer.
* Unplug printer while powered on
* Unplug other end of power cord from wall outlet
* Wait 30 seconds
* Plug unit back in for power

3 new computers at work print incomplete or blank pages

we got 3 new computers at work with windows 7. The computers we already had have windows 7 also. We have a konica minolta fax, printer, scanner, copier that we print too. Everything the 3 computers print comes out fine, except when I log into citrix so I can log into Microsoft Outlook when I print an attachment from my email that is opened with Adobe Reader it prints incomplete and blank pages. Incomplete meaning that different parts of the document are missing. Now if I print an attachment that isn't adobe it prints fine. I have updated, reinstalled, went from 11 to 10(which is what everyone else had), made it print as an image. I called our IT department and they are not helping. Can someone help me? This makes my job so much more difficult seeing as I am in medical records and need to print documents that are sent to me.

The last 2/3 of my 430-page PDF file are blank. The pages are numbered at the correct position but there is no content visible. Just got a new computer with Microsoft Wndows 7 and a new Adobe Reader XI. This same document worked fine before I changed computers.
Here is a screen shot of the first blank page. Thre remainder of the book is the same.

Printer sending out blank sheets

When I try to print to my Epson CX8400 from my MacBook Pro it generates multiple sheets of blank paper, even if I try to run a test print. It prints fine to my old HP Deskjet. The Epson works fine with my Imac desktop, so it isn't a printer problem.
I have recently installed Parallels 4.0 and Windows XP on the Macbook. In Windows it says the Epson is not available, but the HP is.
I have reset the printers in the Macbook, still does not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Hp envy 4501 does't print just leaves blank pages

My Hp envy 4501 doesn't print. It just makes printing sounds then the page comes out blank. I just put in a new ink cartage in the slot. Please help. I need to print out my large essay. My model number is SDGOB-1301

Hi there @Heyitsdavid !
Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
I can see by your post here that after installing a new cartridge the printer is producing blank pages. I should be able to provide useful information for locating a fix so you can get printing your essay!
If it is the cartridge causing the problem and you need to get that essay printed and out of the way. The printer works on a single cartridge mode. This means if you remove the problem cartridge then the printer can use one cartridge to print. The black cartridge will print grey scale and the tricolour will mix colors to make black.
Does this blank page only happen when printing from the computer?
The first thing you will want to check when getting a print quality issue is to perform a stand alone copy on the printer. To perform a stand alone copy please follow the link for Copy Text or Mixed Documents. this will let you know if the issue is related to the printer hardware or the computer software.
If the copy IS blank then please follow the document for Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP ENVY 4500 and Deskjet In...
If the document prints WITHOUT quality issues then you are likely looking at a software problem within the computer. If that is the case, for me to provide relevant troubleshooting steps I will need you to provide me with some info on the computer. What operating system your computer is running (ex. Windows or Mac). If you are running Windows please provide the bit version of Windows (ex.Windows 7 32-bit or Windows 7 64-bit.)
If you are running Mac but don't know the version, please follow the link for: Finding the OS X version and build information on your Mac
If you are running Windows but don't know the version, please follow the link for: Which Windows operating system am I running?
If you are unaware the bit-version on your windows operating system, follow the link for: Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Please post back with your results of troubleshooting and let me know how it goes!
thanks again for chatting on the HP Forum!
