Why does my printer work but the paper comes out blank. ink cartridges are full.

My printer sounds like it is printing but the paper comes out blank.  The ink cartridges are full.

What printer model - there are about a dozen HP Photosmart Premium models including the c309a, b, c, g, h and n and the c410a,b,c,d and e. 
There are a few things to check - I would suggest running up to three cycles of print head cleaning from the front panel or toolbox.   Do copies also come out blank?  Try the steps in this page, starting at about Solution 6.  Does any ink at all print on the test page? 
For some models there are firmware updates available that are only delivered through the web connection.  Make sure the printer has been connected and perform any updates that are available for the firmware.

  • HT4356 My iPad and printer talk but the picture comes out blank...any suggestions?

    My photo paper comes out blank but my iPad and printer are connected because when I select print from iPad the printer starts working. Only problem is the paper comes out blank.

    Make sure your Canon is using the latest firmware.

  • I can't print web pages since a recent upgrade to 4.01. The print command works but the page comes out empty. right now a copy the link to IE and print from there. HELP!

    When printing from the mozilla 4.01 browser the printer spits out blank pages. It seems like it happened after downloading and running mozilla 4.01 browser.
    I have to copy the link to IE (boo!) to print the coupon or page on my printer.
    Why?

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

    Go into iMessage and Facetime and sign out.
    Go to Settings > iTunes and App Store, log out the person who sold it to you and enter your information.
    Or go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings and then start from scratch.

  • Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work?

    Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work? I wasted about 8 hours on trying to get Adobe Send to upload 269 files that amounted to 469MB. When it did not work I made a zip file and after a lot of wasted run time that did not work. The first situation gives little indication of when a file is loaded compared to Adobe SendNow. In both cases with Send it failed with a message like only the first 50 can be loaded. When I went and looked none of them had been loaded. With the zip file (I wanted to hide the individual files so they would not be counted) it appeared to work but very slowly and finally said it was done and I went and looked and it had done anything for oever 2 hours except a false "I'm runninng" indication.
    Thus, I took a chance with Adobe SendNow and it works great. It never gave me a limit on the amount of files nor on the size of the complete job. It shows me one file at a time when it has finished with the file uploading it. SendNow has never given me any problems.
    Why woiuld you want to change the program from SendNow to Send without the newest program being the best, fastest, user friendly program of the two? It just doesn't make sense to me. I suggest that Adobe keep SendNow working until Send is fixed. I would also suggest that SendNow and how it looks be kept, called Send, then modify Send one thing at a time until you get it to the point you need it to be for Acrobat. I have heard nothing good and now I have experienced it that Send is a piece of junk. I wasted most of my work day on giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt to find out I made a very bad decision to trust Adobe to make good decisions on the transfer of a function to another place .... both Adobe's responsibility.without making it painless for your customers that totally rely on you. Don't throw away customer confidence as it is very hard to get it back.

    Funny how you answer to "troll". (What's your handle on AT&T forums?)
    Yep! Verizon living up to it's contractual obligations by not releasing updates. Caveat emptor!
    I think there are some reasonable expectations here to keep customer's happy. When one carrier offers upgrades there is an expectation the same will happen across all the carriers. We have seen that except Big Red.
    Verizon could have said the update is in MS court months ago and stilled the voice of the disgruntled, or at least redirected it, but instead chose to be silent. Not for market share but for partial blame I think.
    We will have to agree to disagree since you only see Terms & Conditions and I, see customer satisfaction.

    Do you have any filters applied to your clips?
    This happened to me before, I accidently had applied a broadcast safe filter to a color matte that was black....
    I figured it out by duplicating my sequence and deleting items from my timeline 1 by 1 until I was able to export a reference movie.
    Anywho, export again, this time with "self contained" movie selected.
    Then try to import to Compressor.

  • Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33 does not print correctly. Some text comes out all garbled but looks fine on screen.

    I am using Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33. I can open PDF files and they look fine. When I print some of the test comes out all garbled - usually labels, notes at bottom etc. If I disable plugin then when I open PDF Firefox uses Adobe PDF reader to open file and then printing is fine. I have Adobe reader 10.1.5

    I am seeing the same issue with Reader 11.0.1.36. Without the Adobe plugin enabled, no issue. Probably related to the type of font being used for the garbled text. There are many font bugs related to various fonts and various Adobe programs filed at Bugzilla. Looks like Adobe has some fixing to do with their Firefox / Netscape plugin.

  • I have a hp office jet printerand when i print e mails the writing comes out small

    i have a hp office jet printer and when i print e mails the writing coms out small

    Hello tallcool1,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that your Officejet printer and Email are not working together to produce a proper print, the font seems to be much smaller. Please answer the below question to allow me better ability to assist you.
    What model of printer is your Officejet?
    What is the Operating System installed on the computer, Windows or Mac?
    What is the Email you are trying to print from, MSN, Gmail, Yahoo, etc?
    Will the small font issue happen from other programs, Notepad for example?
    Cheers,
