HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer J610a is printing blank pages

[Rudy1906]

Your HP Deskjet 3050 is printing BLANK PAGES? 

The printer ejects blank sheets of paper when printing. Some or all the printed pages might be partially blank or half printed. It can be the software that you are printing from or program. Sometimes it can be the actual print head needs cleaning or cartridges are low. 

Here is a link that will provide you with steps that will get the issue resolved. In this document you will have different Operating Systems. (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OS X) Software.

I saw that this was solved on the forum, but the solution link is no longer active.

Yes, the link is down. 

See if you can print a self-test page or printer status report from the printer itself. If so, then it is a software or connection issue. 

If you can print test page, try to use a different USB cable. Also, you can uninstall and re-install the software and drivers. 

If you are NOT able to print a test page from the printer, try to clean the cartridges with lint free cloth and water.

I have cleaned the print heads and still prints blank pages.  I put new ink cartridges in, still printing blank pages.  So now that I am out $30 in ink, what's the deal?

Could you please repost the solution to this problem? I have been trying for hours to fix my printer and I cant get it to print anything besides blank pages.
