I have an HP Envy 5052 printer. It worked great last time I used it. Now it just prints blank pages. Both ink cartridges are half full. I ran it through a cleaning and test mode. Still spitting out blank pages

Hi @Shaunlo,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd be happy to help you! 

 

Update the firmware by selecting your current OS. Click here

 

Check ink cartridges

  • Very low ink levels, using non-HP cartridges, and rough handling can cause print quality issues.
  • Replace any non-HP or refilled cartridges with genuine HP cartridges. HP supplies are available from the HP Store and local retailers.
  • HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP or refilled cartridges. Go to HP Anti Counterfeiting and Fraud Program for more information.
  • Check the ink levels and replace any low or empty cartridges.
  • NOTE:
  • The printer features a 'backup mode' that enables printing with one cartridge. Remove the low or empty cartridge to continue printing if a replacement is not available. Depending on the cartridge removed, blacks will not be as dark and color prints will be in grayscale.
  • Ink levels
  • Rough handling of cartridges during transport or installation can cause print quality problems. Wait a few hours for the automatic servicing routine to complete, and then try to print again.
  • If a cartridge is bad, replace it. If you have a defective HP cartridge, it might be under warranty. Go to About Original HP Cartridges for page yield and HP Limited Warranty information to see if a cartridge is still in warranty.
