HP ENVY 6052 All-In-One Printer

So, for whatever reason, my printer suddenly stopped printing anything but blank pages from my MacBook. It had worked fine up until a few weeks ago, when I noticed the problem. I've replaced the ink cartridge, uninstalled/reinstalled the printer, and I'm still having the same problem. I'd appreciate some help with this!

@osumatthew, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I see that the printer is printing blank from the Mac. To assist you better,

  • Which application are you trying to print from?
  • Have you tried printing different types of documents like PDF, Word, or Webpages and check if the issue persists?
  • Try making a standalone copy in black and color from the flatbed glass and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

Perform the steps mentioned in this document - No black ink, wrong colors, other print quality issues

Check the ink levels, clean the ink cartridges up to 2 times, and print a test page to check the result.
