Hi @LouFed ,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.


If your HP Series 2734e Printer is printing blank pages despite having full ink cartridges, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow:

Check Ink Cartridges:

  • Make sure that you've removed the protective tape or seal from the ink cartridges.
  • Ensure that the ink cartridges are properly installed in their respective slots.

Printer Self-Test:

  • Perform a self-test on the printer to check if it can print a test page independently of the computer. Refer to your printer manual for instructions on how to initiate a self-test.

Update Printer Drivers:

  • Ensure that you have the latest printer drivers installed on your laptop. You can download the latest drivers from the HP official website.

Print a Test Page from the Computer:

  • Try printing a test page from your laptop to see if the issue persists. Make sure the correct printer is selected in the print settings.

Check for Windows Updates:

  • Ensure that your Windows 11 operating system is up to date. Sometimes, updates can resolve compatibility issues.

Run Printer Troubleshooter:

  • Windows has a built-in troubleshooter that can identify and fix common printing problems. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot, and run the Printer troubleshooter.

Check Print Queue:

  • Make sure there are no pending print jobs in the print queue. If there are, clear the print queue and try printing again.

Reinstall Printer Drivers:

  • Uninstall the printer drivers from your laptop, restart the computer, and then reinstall the latest drivers from the HP website.

Check for Software Conflicts:

  • Ensure that there are no conflicting software or security programs that might be blocking the printing process.

Inspect Printer Settings:

  • Check the printer settings to make sure that the correct paper size, type, and quality settings are selected.

 

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.-
