Hi @Satts9,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP printer is printing blank pages even after cleaning the printhead, try the following steps.
- Check Ink Levels: Ensure that the ink cartridges have sufficient ink.
- Reinstall the Cartridges: Remove and reinstall the ink cartridges to ensure proper seating.
- Run Printhead Cleaning Again: Sometimes multiple cleanings are needed.
- Print a Diagnostic Page: Check for any errors or issues.
- Update Printer Firmware: Ensure your printer firmware is up-to-date.
- Align the Printhead: Use your printer's software to align the printhead.
- Reset the Printer: Turn off the printer, unplug it for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on.
If the issue persists, consider replacing the ink cartridges, as they may be faulty.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.

Thank you so much for the reply I have completed all of the above tasks with the exception of changing the cartridges I will do this later and let you know the printer is not used that often and both cartridges are full but maybe they have dried out .
thanks
