I can no longer print from notepad or wordpad

I have a HP Deskjet F4135 and am running on Windows 7

 

My printer has ink and the nozzles are clean and it will print web pages but not anything from either notepad or wordpad

 

I even checked the preview and what I want to print shows up there but while it pulls the paper in and sounds like it's printing when the paper comes back out it is blank

 

BTW As far as I know everything else works just great

 

Thanks

Re: I can no longer print from notepad or wordpad

Thanks for the link but I have tried all the things the page suggests

 

I ran a test page and that works so I know I have ink and that the nozzles are clean and the preview shows what I want to print the paper goes in and it sounds like it's printing(the right amount of time too) but when the paper comes back out it's still blank

 

I can print from my browser just not from those two programs(as far as I know anyway...I only print from either notpad or wordpad...rarely from my browser and never from other applications)

 

Thanks

Hello magi376

 

Are you still experiencing your printing problem? If you could, see if you can print a photo, from paint or from Microsoft Office if you have it. This way we can see if other applications are having the same problem. Also what browser are you using?

Re: I can no longer print from notepad or wordpad

I am having the same problem when trying to print from notepad or wordpad; printer sounds like it's printing but all I get is a blank page.

 

I can print photos, forms from MS Works Suite, and websites online.

 

Any more ideas??

 

Thanks,

LL

Hello LadyLayne2

 

Did you follow the article in the posts above about "Printing Blank Pages"?

What printer and operating system are you using? Have you tried to re-install the printer?

Also what web browser did you print from? Did the web page also have words or just pictures?
