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.

My print setup will not work and Fire fox only prints blank pages. Help?

I tried to change the margins on my printer set up. Since I did this my printer will only print blank pages from Firefox. (If I open a PDF it prints fine) I have tried to go into print set up but it only comes up as a big black page. Any thoughts??

Sorry, just to be clear:
(1) Which did you use to make the change and which do not display correctly:
orange Firefox button > Print > Page Setup<br>
''or''<br>
classic File menu > Page Setup, or
the Properties button in the Print dialog?
(2) If you switch to a different printer, such as a PDF printer driver (many free ones you can install, such as [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] and [http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp CutePDF Writer]), can you regain access to Firefox's Page Setup dialog?

REPORT SERVER 6i Patch1 PRINTING BLANK PAGES

I have a problem that is occouring on three different report servers. It will start printing blank pages instead of the report and the only way to get it back to normal is to stop and reastart the service. I get this on a version 6, version 6i and version 6i patch1 report servers. It makes no difference what call method I use (command line or OCX control). I can also force this behavior on one of the servers by selecting a HP 895C as the default printer in the windows printers and then starting the service. All pages print blank after that. At the customers site it appears to be random as to when it will start printing the blank pages.
Any ideas on what the fix is for this?

Is there any ideas on this?
We have a Reports 6i server up and running and I'm getting stuff out OK to postscript printers, but some HP older printers are just spitting out blank pages. Is there a desformat= that I need to set differently? I've tried most of the options ( dec, psport, psland, hpl... all blank )
Appreciate any help, I haven't used this stuff long, so am quite naive about how it hangs together.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printing Blank Pages Instead Of Data And Also Reorienting Itself

Hi all
We have a wireless HP Officejet Pro 8000 in our office (but via cable, not wireless) to a network. The printer is occasionally printing blank pages instead of say a spreadsheet selected to print.
The other issue is that if you say are printing two copies of the same spreadsheet, one prints okay (say landscape) and the second copy, selected at the time of printing, prints it portrait but only part of the left hand side of it and the rest is blank. Coming out of and going back inthe file usually recitifes this. But it does it again any time it feels like it.
We did have an upgrade, where our IT guy took away our desktop boxes and replaced with smaller base units and everything is run from a main server and alsoan upgrade from Windows 2000 to Network. Problems started after this and the IT guy did update the printer driver.
Please would anyone be able to assist? Any help for this frustrating problem gratefully accepted!
Thanks,
Saxplayer67

So the issue with the 8000 printer is periodic print jobs do not come out as you are wanting them. Is that right? This is interesting, just from the point of view that generally speaking issues like this are like a light switch, they are either there or they are not - they usually don't come and go. That being said, we are going to see what we can do to resolve this. First I am going to recommend that we perform a clean installation of the printer after uninstalling it from the machine. By the way, what is the operating system you are working with - Is it Windows 2000 Network?
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer:

Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

Printer prints blank pages

I received a message low toner. Before I replaced the toner the printer printed blank pages. After I replaced the toner, the printer printed for awhile the same day and now prints blank pages. I took out the toner and moved it back and forth and replaced it and still nothing on the paper. Do I need a new printer? Thanks, Sally

Regarding blank pages printing:
Which printer model do you have?
Does it print a blank self-test page?
What operating system are you printing from, and what application (if not all apps)?
What driver are you using?
More info from you will help us offer suggestions to resolve the blank pages issue.
We enjoy helping if we can, as these forums have helped us frequently.

Windows 8.1 printing blank pages from all apps

Morning Tech Support: My favorite people!! This just began within the this week where what ever appl I attempt to print from, prints blank pages. Upon viewing the print spooler, it shows doc going into printer okay, no probs w/ margins
or page size (already checked). Printer is Canon MG5400 (newer). I've already rebooted turned on the computer where the computer is installed. What else could it be. Working on installing new updates that just came down as well.
HELP!!!!
s.hamel

Try install all updates for Windows and check for update for latest version of your printer's software.
Try run a test print and check if it works.
Also check the cartridge and make sure they are okay.
You may contact Canon's support too.

When downloading a pdf, the print command show a document in the preview but only prints blank pages

When downloading a pdf and using the print command, it shows the correct document in the preview but only prints blank pages. If I use the save command and try to open with Acrobat 11.0.07, it says it wasn't correctly decoded and can't open it. If I do the same thing on my old Macbook (10.6.8) all works fine from the same website with the same document. Any ideas?

This article maybe help to you, change pdf file type to other application like adobe reader, See:

HP 3510 All In One only printing blank pages after cartridge replacement

Recently replaced my blank ink cartridge after supply level showed low, and printed output looked faded.
Using genuine HP product - check
Cartridge supply level good - check
Powered on and off twice - check
Installed, removed, re-installed cartidges - check
Good paper - check
Alignment prints blank page - does not print partial or low quality, just produces a blank page.
Printing from my computer, a word document, also produces a blank page - not parital - blank.
Was printing before the HP cartridge change.
Did I buy a bad HP cartridge?
Any help would be appreciated.

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.

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 PSC 2175

I am having this problem too - just prints blank pages. Ran the tests checked cartridges settings sanity nothing.Scans fine.I currently have three duff printers in my office which is more than frustrating...

Printer prints blank pages despite cleaning, won't align

HP photosmart B210 all of sudden prints blank pages and won't align

Hi @bhoover64,
I see that you are getting blank pages and the printer won't align. I can help you with this.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I have provided a document to go through the steps to see if that will resolve the issue.
Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages.
Here is a document to manually clean the cartridge contacts.

932c prints blank pages

I have an old but always reliable, until today, 932c deskjet, tied to a dell e521 Vista (home basic) computer. The printer worked fine yesterday, and now prints blank pages. (Correction -- nearly blank, there are very faint horizontal irregular dashed lines in the "draft" quality setting. If I set the print quality on best, it does appear to print the document to a very slight degree, but still unreadable.) The cartridge indicator is on the far right (the OK position, and there are no blinking lights. In that it was printing very clearly yesterday, I am sure there is ink in the cartridge.
Any ideas? (One last note: given that two new cartridges will be approach the cost of a newer and faster machine, that is one solution that I have considered trying and have ruled out.)
Thanks

Try printing a diagnostic page as shown here. If this page is blank then gently blot the printheads on a damp tissue. The black cartridge should have a dark black blot and the color should show dark stripes of cyan, magenta and yellow. If the cartridges do blot properly but do not print the printer electronics may have failed. If the cartridges do not blot properly then I would suggest returning the cartridges to the printer and running three cleaning cycles from the toolbox. If this does not clear the problem then try soaking the printhead in 1" of very hot water for a few minutes, then blot on a tissue and try a test page.

Pixma was working just fine until I replaced 3 of the ink cartidges. Now it only prints blank pages

Pixma was working just fine until I replaced 3 of the ink cartidges. Now it only prints blank pages. It does the same thing from my computer as from the printer itself. Also passes the device maintenance tests, including all the colors and the alignment. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
