My printer started shooting out blank pages, even though it makes the sounds and movements of printing the full document. My black ink and color levels are fine, although my magenta has a replace soon warning.

 

I tried using the test pages as well as clean heads and surprisingly, they print out perfectly. It's only when I try and print a document that the it becomes balnk.

Hey there! @smarty33, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!

 

I understand that your printer is printing blank pages.

 

Don't worry I will try to help you out.

 

Did you make any changes to your printer?

 

Have you tried printing from a different application?

 

Try making a copy from your printer and check if the copy is blank too.
