Printing blank pages - even with new genuine HP cartridges

All of a sudden, my 6700 has started printing blank pages, even the copier runs blanks - after replacing cartridges with new HP cartridges.
I ran all the diagnostics, printer says its fine, printhead was cleaned, and still printing blanks.
Printer's out of warranty, what should I do? I just bought a ton of cartridges for this....!
Help!!

  • HP PSC 2175 All-in-one prints blank pages from word, chrome and notes

    My HP all-in-one printer PSC 2175 all-in-one has suddenly decided to print blank pages.
    So far I've tried printing from Word, Notes and Photoshop but come up with nothing. 
    It prints test pages and diagnostic pages without any problems and it makes direct copies without problems.
    The diagnostic tool can't find anything wrong. 
    I've run all the software I could find on Swedish HP. 
    I've reinstalled the printer, reinstalled Word, repaired Windows, nothing helps.
    I have Windows XP, fully updated.
    Any suggestions?

  • HP Deskjet F2480 All-in-One prints BLANK PAGES

    Dear All, I have a serious issue with my HP Deskjet F2480 All-in-One Colour Ink-jet - Printer / copier / scanner.The thing is that it prints BLANK PAGES. I tried everything from the manualHP Deskjet F2400 All-in-One series:

The ink level is sufficient to print a page - the HP Solution Centerapplication says that 'the actual ink levels may vary' but it shows a tick-mark, which means that everythingshould work.

  • HP Officejet J4540 Prints Blank Pages

    Yesterday, my J4540 all-in-one started printing blank pages. I just replaced the cartridge a couple of weeks ago, and it still has plenty of ink left. I'm using a USB connection, and Windows Vista. I tried doing a search for what the problem could be, but haven't found anything yet. I also tried to copy something with the printer, and it copied fine, so I don't believe it's the ink. No error messages come up, and when I ran the HP diagnostic, it said there was nothing wrong with the printer. I tried restarting the printer, leaving it off for a minute and then plugging it back in, but that didn't do anything. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing them. Thank you.

    Hi Parkaboy,
    I understand that you are having an issue with the quality of your prints. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. In this document for Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues there are several steps for resolving this issue.
    I hope this helps, let me know.

  • My brand new HP x451dw only prints blank pages

    My brand new HP x451dw only prints blank pages. I have never seen a drop of ink on a page since I have had and set up this printer, even during the set-up process.
    All indications suggest that I have configured the printer correctly. I have communication from a variety of computers, ipads, etc. and all will get the correct number of pages to come out of the printer, all pages are blank. Likewise with the printer test page. 
    There has never been a drop of ink on any page since I took this out of the box.
    I do not get any error messages. The printer thinks the ink cartridges are full - they are genuine, and they are full.
    Any ideas anyone?

    If this just happens from these two programs, it's most likely a driver conflict.  If typically using an alternate driver will alow you to get around this.  To try this, add the printer's que to the Mac.  Click the dropdown next to Use and choose a driver that's not for your printer.  Typically the best one to try is another Photosmart dirver, but Deskjet drivers will work as well.  I would make the instructions a bit more clear, but I don't have access to a 10.6 Mac.  Let me know if this works or not.

  • NEW Officejet 4620 prints blank pages!

    We got a replacement for a not very old HP Officejet, a new right out of the box, Officejet 4620.  It is networked with a Mac desktop and an older Macbook.  I installed it yesterday using the ink cartridges it came with, got it networked with both computers, and it worked GREAT -- yesterday.  Today it is only printing blank pages from the desktop!  Argh!  What's going on?

  • Help[: Laserjet 1300: Printing blank pages (new cartridge & drivers installed)

    Hi All, printer keeps printing blank pages, just bought a new cartridge and even re-installed the drivers- can anyone perhaps advise as to a way to resolve as I am urgently needing to print?

    Forgot to mention that I am not getting an error message either, except when I go through the motions of scanning the (blank) alignment page.  That error is related to the fact that it is blank though.
    Thanks for any assistance.

  • Did recent recommended update cause incompatibility with HP printer, causing error message and printer to print blank pages?

    did recent recommended update cause incompatibility with HP printer, causing error message and printer to print blank pages?

    Why not contact HP tech support for assistance since they make the printer. While on their site you can look for an updated printer driver. Otherwise, try deleting the current installed driver, reset the print system, then reinstall your printer's driver.

  • Interactive PDF with buttons printing blank pages

    Hi
    I am creating interactive pdf's using indesign cs6 on MAC which have buttons that show and hide other buttons when clicked, i have checked printable for all of the buttons as i want the buttons to be visable when printed.
    When i export it everything is fine and all works well and when i print the document from the MAC it prints fine but when i come to print it from the PC it prints blank pages. This is a issue as these documents will be printed from a PC, I have tried different PC's to see if it was mine that wasnt working but the result is the same, printing blanks.
    Is there any way to overcome this problem?
    Best Regards
    Rob

    On the Mac go to File>Export and choose pdf like you normally do.
    With the pdf settings that work make sure you click the "Save Preset" button.
    Exit out of the PDF export dialog box and go to
    File>PDF Presets
    And Define them
    From here select your Preset that you just saved and Save it to the hard drive.
    Load this PDF Preset into the PC settings.

  • New foxfire. now printer prints blank pages

    recent firefox update. Now cannon printer only prints blank pages for e-mail files.

    Simple start would be to see if you can print in another browser like Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, then we can identify that it is the Firefox update that caused this issue

  • InDesign causing others to print blanks pages

    Okay so this is a weird issue and I'm getting no results.
    My issue is simple. After I print in ID anyone else I work with prints blank pages (We're printing through a network to a device). Also cyan prints incorrectly; however that is fixed if I open the print driver from the print dialog. Now the color thing is a problem through all the adobe software (Illy, Photoshop, Acrobat). No matter which program I use cyan prints wrong. But back to the main issue, strictly ID causes others to print blank. It isn't consistent either. A single document could consecutively cause the blanks then not cause them a little later. We've tried ever print driver possible and the problem persists. Another curious behavior with ID in conjunction with Acrobat is if Acrobat is open and I try to export to .pdf from ID then both programs freeze (however no message of either not responding comes up in the activity monitor) and the preferences are erased from ID
    I've spent 4 hrs on the phone with Adobe support and it's just some indian reading from a handbook asking over and over if I deleted my preferences. I've spent days with the printer manufacturer and worked with 7 of their tech specialists and even had them send out a new unit and  still the issues. I need to know if the rest of the world is seeing this. Or if this is even close to something someone has seen
    So from what I'm seeing is a problem with the PostScript writing that's freaking it out but I'm not software engineer so I can't say for sure.
    I'm running CC (though we still had the problems on CS6)
    OSX 1.7
    ID version 9.2.2
    printer  is a Konica Bizhub 554e (it's a laser copier)
    Thanks,

    I actually have created a .pdf and had others print it (a file I create in ID and export to pdf). What ends up happening is if I try to print the pdf people after me get blanks. However if someone else prints it there is no issue. I may have left out an important point I'm the only mac that uses the printer, everyone else  uses pc (and I don't know if that's an issue). I only have a postscript driver available (which is good) but i don't know what everyone else is using. I want to say in all of this i heard they have a PCL driver.
    As far as the router, I'm hardwired into the network so there is no router. Konica and our IT have checked the network and ruled out that possibility (and I don't really know what that means)
    But you are reaffirming the fact it is the printer and they need to fix it. And the fact that a document printed with only cyan is printed with all four colors to give me some weird off color makes me think the disconnect is between Adobe and the printer. But still so weird about the blanks.
    Thanks for the input
