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.

  • Printing Blank pages for SSRS Reports in Firefox browser

    I have created an SSRS Report that works well on chrome, but when I use the site in Firefox the SSRS Page prints blank pages though the report displays properly. I have tried every thing like reducing table width. I am using the report viewer control.
    Sanjeev Menon

    Hi Sanjeev,
    Generally, if the report display properly in the browser, it should be also work well when we print the report. And I can’t reproduce the scenario in my own environment. As to this issue, I recommend that you can try to run it in compatibility mode or use
    IE explorer to print the report.
    If this issue still exists, please try to update the report viewer control to latest release and check this issue again.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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: 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3762364
    Install that and let me know the result! 
    Have a great day!

  • HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer J610a is printing blank pages

    Your HP Deskjet 3050 is printing BLANK PAGES? 
    The printer ejects blank sheets of paper when printing. Some or all the printed pages might be partially blank or half printed. It can be the software that you are printing from or program. Sometimes it can be the actual print head needs cleaning or cartridges are low. 
    Here is a link that will provide you with steps that will get the issue resolved. In this document you will have different Operating Systems. (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X) Software.

    Yes, the link is down. 
    See if you can print a self-test page or printer status report from the printer itself. If so, then it is a software or connection issue. 
    If you can print test page, try to use a different USB cable. Also, you can uninstall and re-install the software and drivers. 
    If you are NOT able to print a test page from the printer, try to clean the cartridges with lint free cloth and water.

  • HP 4280 prints blank pages on mac using os X 10.8.5

    have updated drivers and deleted all prior printers. 

    Hello @kwilmes1969,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to assist you today with resolving the blank pages printing issue you're experiencing when printing from your Mac OS X 10.9.5 computer to your HP Photosmart C4280 All-in-One Printer. Can I please have you follow the troubleshooting steps below.
    To start, I am going to have you print a standalone Print Quality Report to verify if the blank pages printing issue is being caused by your computer or by your printer.
    Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray.
    Press and hold the Cancel button (), and then press the Start Copy Color button ().
    Release both buttons. The product prints a self-test report.
    1. Printed by the left cartridge
    2. Printed by the right cartridge
    If the Print Quality Report prints perfectly: Than the blank printing issue is being caused by your Mac. Please do not proceed with troubleshooting at this time. 
    If the Print Quality Report prints blank, or is missing colour or black:  Than the blank pages printing issue is being caused by your printer. Open the HP Printer Utility on your Mac and run the Printhead Clean. Should this fail to resolve the blank pages printing issue please click here. When the troubleshooting document opens run through 'Step five: Clean the Cartridge Contacts'. Once the cartridges have been manually cleaned, please test printing again.

  • Printing Blank Page When Address line 2 or 3 is Present

    Hi all,
    I am running a custom report in Oracle Applications (11.5.10.2) from the Payables Manager responsibility and whenever there is an additional address line apart from address line1, the report prints a blank page in it's output, although I cannot see the blank page in the preview. This happens when I try to print the report output from the 'options' tab of the concurrent request window to any printer I select from the drop-down list. When I run the report without the print option, the report does not display any blank page in the output window.
    Thanks,
    Nav Gag

    Hi,
    I'm guessing the concurrent program is outputting text (character mode) as opposed to PDF?
    This could be a number of reasons:
    1. Printer driver issue, e.g. the number of lines printed on the page is more than is defined for the printer driver: Try reducing the "Rows" on the current program definition
    2. Printer PRT issue, extra page break could be being inserted.
    3. The "box" in the report definition containing the address could be being expanding due to the extra address line, but not enough space so it forces a new page to be printed.

  • Printing blank pages (that aren't actually blank) problem.

    I'm having a weird problem with an InCopy file. I'm using Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2 and InCopy CS3 5.0.3 (and InDesign CS3 5.0.3, although that's not giving me any problems).
    I created a series of files for a book in InCopy; each file is a single story. These files are then linked to InDesign layout files (it made sense to the actual content in InCopy, because each of these files will be formatted four separate ways for different book layouts, and I will be updating some of the information quite frequently).
    I printed out one file in InCopy to proofread it. As I was looking through, I noticed that certain pages didn't print. When I went back and tried to print them individually, an error popped up telling me that the selected pages were blank, and to select the "print blank pages" option from the print dialog box...except that option doesn't come up anywhere in the dialog box, or under any setting that I can find. This error makes no sense in the first place, as far as I can tell, since if the text displays in layout view, and in preview mode, shouldn't it not be considered blank? Trying to print the pages on a spread with the other pages that printed fine in the first place doesn't change a thing, either. The page that worked initially prints, the one that InCopy claims is blank doesn't.
    I tried restarting. I tried copying the offending text into a blank document--which works, if I set the paragraph styles back to basic paragraph (I tried reimporting the paragraph style from InDesign and applying it, and the error came back). I checked to make sure the text wasn't somehow on another, non-printing layer. I checked to make sure that all of the paragraph and character styles were the same as in the printing pages. I tried trashing InCopy preferences. Oddly enough, the InDesign file, with the linked text from this InCopy document, prints just fine, without me checking the "print blank pages" box.
    This is driving me crazy. I've only been using InDesign since last winter, and I've only been using InCopy for a few months, so I'm certainly no expert. Am I missing something painfully obvious, or is this a bug, or what?

    Hello RED430,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Deskjet F4580 is printing blank pages. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend following this entire HP document on Troubleshooting Print-Quality Issues.
    Could you print a extended self test report from your printer to verify if you're receiving any color on this page. Please let me know on this post: (Source)
    Make sure you have plain white, letter-size paper loaded in the input tray.
    Press and hold the Power button ( ) and the Cancel button ( ) for 10 seconds. The extended self-test report prints.
    If this page comes out blank, then I would suggest cleaning the cartridges which is indicated from this document. If this page comes out with all colors, then I need to find out your operating system on your computer? Windows or Mac?
    I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

  • 1020 Prints blank pages

    HP printer 1020 Q5911A built in August 2007 fails to print after install.  (posted to another solved thread).
     I bought a used 1020 (circa 2007 with 2400 pages printed) for some friends.  Upon connecting to their Dell desktop, it took off, loaded the USB drivers from window's site, then some drivers from HP's site.  Attempts to print cause flashing red and green lights alternately, followed by the printing of a blank page.  I tried my laptop but to no avail.  I took it home for a more careful analysis which follows:
      I have an identical 1020 which I'm very happy with. (circa 2006 with 2400 pages)  I downloaded the LJ1018_1020_1022_Full_Solution Original CD install application and the HP Printer Scan Doctor to a thumb drive.  By deleting the 1020 printer and reinstalling from scratch, my 1020 prints fine. Connecting my friend's 1020, deleting the 1020 and reinstalling the software, it will not print the test page as requested.  Upon re-doing this procedure, I observed that on the first attempt to print the test page, the printer alternately flashes the red and green lights and prints a blank page.  Additional attempts to print the test page causes a solid green light and a blank page printed.  After several successive attempts to print the test page(5-6), it started printing a document I may have  attempted to print much earlier (days). But nothing showed in the queue.  It continued to print this document on the next several attempts to print the test page, but I can no longer be duplicate this behavior.  This shows that the fuser, etc., is working.  (The printed test page by the former owner is what sold me on the purchase.)  I installed another toner cartridge, but no change.
      I ran the HP Printer Scan Doctor.  Everything checks out OK.  I'm a retired computer test developer, so I know my way around, but this has me stumped.

    Let me clarify. Upon connecting the printer to my friends system, it took off and loaded USB drivers and HP software, but would only print blank pages.  One of the pages I chose to print was a scratch document, which appeared to go to the printer with flashing lights on the printer as normal, and I assume it got stored in the printer's memory.  By making the printer not-ready (no paper), attempts to print the test page, caused them to show up in the queue.  Making the printer ready w/paper caused it to apparently transfer the files to the printer, but they came out blank. (I'm not sure how this works:  Does the software in the host construct the test page using data collected during device initialization and send the page to the printer, [which I suspect], or does the printer construct the page on the fly locally and print it?) This was true whether using the Dell desktop or my Lenovo laptop.  After deleting the printer and reloading the software on my laptop, the symptoms remained.  So I took the printer home to troubleshoot it.  Hooking up my printer to my laptop, it would not print until I deleted the printer and reloaded the software.  (I take it that there is some data that is specific to the printer that prevents switching printers without reloading the software- perhaps microcode difference.  But it appears to download new microcode everytime the software is reloaded.  Many years ago I redesigned the Dot Matrix printer tester when IBM went from the 40/80 chars/sec to the 120 cps, so I know that interface, but now everything is intelligent.) 
      Running the scan tool showed everything working properly, so I assume that its was doing some communications tests as well as some self tests.  No !'s.
      Having limited visibility to the internals, I just kept trying to run the test page several times.  The first  page after software reload causes red/green alternately flashing during file transfer, followed by the printing of a blank page.  Subsequent attempts printed blank pages, That is untill I kept trying and all of a sudden it started printing the scratch document that I had requested it to print many pages before and over at my friend's house.  So it appears that it just kept walking through old memory in the printer and printing whatever it found there, and not the freshly downloaded test page.  Wierd!  This it continued for 3-4 test pages, probably because I had previously requested it to print the scratch document several times.  Like the pointer is not getting (re)set to the correct location in the printer memory after downloading the file. 
      My laptop runs windows 7.  Not sure about my friend Dell, but the symtoms are the same.  I appreciate the instructions for a complete uninstall, etc and I will try that.  However, I don't have  to do that to get it to run my 1020 which is only a year older.  I can't imagine they changed the pc card in the printer, tho that could happen.  Its like its getting the wrong microcode.  How do I interrogate the pc card, or does all that show up on the test page.  And can the test page be redirected out of the queue to a file so that it can be examined using document software.
      I will download the software and do the procedure as you suggest.  However, I hate to do this on my fully functional laptop using my printer. The printer is connected directly to a USB port on the computer.
      As a EE, and having the same problem both at my friends house and mine, and with my printer and my friend's printer plugged into the same power strip, I think a power strip problem is remote indeed.
      I'll post another reply after I run the HP Printer Install Wizard and report the results.
    Thanks much.

  • HP LaserJet 4MP Printing Blank Pages

    Hi there,
    This is perhaps OT, but a recent issue with my HP LJ 4MP is causing me great anguish and heartache.
    Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my HP is producing blank pages. It just runs and runs spewing out blank pages.
    I've tried all the IO resets and a cold reset. Unplugging and leaving idle. Unplugged the Asante bridge between the serial and the CAT 5.
    After a while I can get it to stop printing blank pages, it works fine for a while, then the interminable blank pages start again.
    Has anyone seen such an issue? Any known resolution?
    Thanks a bunch,
    Matthew

    Matthew,
    I too use HP LaserJet 4MP and AssanteTalk Bridge connected to computer via ethernet crossover cable and link from Assante to both my LJ4MP and HPDeskJet855cse, using BelKin QuikNet adapters in a string using RJ11 jumper cables.
    My HP driver software is HP8.1.1.
    I Never use "BackGround Printing".
    I Never use "DeskTop Print Monitor".
    The only time I can remember multiple blank copies is when I used to use "Print Monitor and BackGround Printing".
    Clear your preferences and get rid of Print Monitor and Don't use BackGround Printing.
    HTH.......Bob

  • HP LJ 1320 only prints blank pages

    The printer will only print blank pages. Test pages are also blank (including from the Green Button). This is a recurring issue. It was solved in the past by fiddling with the cartridge and mechanical parts inside (we don't know what exactly sovled the problem). Toner is full. I ran the HP Diagnostic Tool and it found no "X"s.
    I verified that the following mechanical parts are functional:
    switch on left side of cartridge door
    plastic tab on top right of door, which connects to laser spring/switch
    spring/switch underneath top panel, which seems to enable laser
    arm/gears to enable paper spindle
    contacts on printer-side of toner/printer connection (this part slides from side to side 1/4 inches, and I tried printing with it in various locations)
    There seem to be no error beeps/tones when the printer starts up or when I close the toner door. (However, it was capable as I bypassed one of the switches and it made an error tone at that point).
    I think it must be something like a dead laser (however, I think the laser is invisible and we cannot test tosee if it is functional).
    Any other ideas/solutions would be appreciated.
    I forgot to mention that the low-toner light is not lit, and we've had this issue with both new and old-working toners cartridges.

  • 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.

    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.
