Hi @Angie1017 , Welcome to HP Support Community!

The issue of printing a blank page after each printed page is often a software or setting problem, specifically the separator page function, or potentially an issue within the document itself. 

Check and Disable Separator Pages 

For networked printers like the P2035n, a feature called a "separator page" can be enabled by default to distinguish between different print jobs. To disable it: 

1. Open Devices and Printers (or Printers & Scanners) from the Windows Start menu or Control Panel.
2. Right-click on the 
   HP LaserJet P2035n
    printer icon.
3. Select Properties or Printer properties.
4. Go to the Advanced tab.
5. Look for a button or option related to a "Separator Page" and ensure this function is disabled or set to "None".
6. Click Apply, and then OK to save the settings.
7. Print a test page to confirm the issue is resolved. 

Other Troubleshooting Steps

If disabling the separator page does not work, try these steps: 

• Check the Document: Review the document you are printing to ensure there are no unintended blank pages or extra page breaks within the file.
• Adjust Print Settings: In the application you are printing from, go to File > Print > Printer Properties (or Preferences) and check the layout and paper settings. Ensure the paper size and type are correct and look for options related to "Print on Both Sides" or duplexing that might be causing this behavior.
• Update/Reinstall Drivers: Outdated or corrupted drivers can cause odd printing issues.
  • Uninstall the current printer software/driver from your computer.
  • Download and install the latest driver from the official HP support website.
• Print from Another Application: Open a simple text program like Notepad, type a short sentence, and print it. If this prints correctly without an extra blank page, the problem might be with the original application (e.g., Word, Excel, PDF viewer).
• Power Reset: Turn off the printer, unplug it from the wall and the printer itself, wait for about 60 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on
  
  

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
