My HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 prints a blank page despite new ink

[Atariq6]

When I print a document using My HP officeJet Pro 6978, it prints out a blank page. It is the same when I try to copy a document.  I just changed the ink, so I have enough ink and I only use HP ink. I followed the help steps that on the HP support site. I performed the alignment and clean cartridge tests. The color on the clear cartridge tests came out fine, so I reprinted the document again. However, a blank page came out again. I removed the printer from my computer then reinstalled it. I also unplugged and plugged my printer. I can't seem to figure out what's going on.

Welcome to HP support community.

Make sure the ink cartridges are properly vented and seated correctly

1. Turn on the printer, if it is not already turned on.

2. Open the ink cartridge access door.

   The carriage moves to the center of the printer.

   

3. Wait until the carriage stops moving before you continue.

4. Press the tab inward on the front of the old ink cartridge to release it, and then pull up on the ink cartridge to remove it from the slot.

   

5. Examine the vent area above the HP logo on the top of the ink cartridge.

   

6. If the ink cartridge still has the orange pull-tab attached, pull to remove it.

   

7. If the vent is clogged, use a straight pin to gently remove excess adhesive from the vent.

8. 1. 

      Clogged vent

   2. With a straight pin, gently remove excess adhesive from the vent

   3. Unclogged vent

9. Turn the ink cartridge so that the ink cartridge contacts face downward, and then match the label color with the color dot on the carriage.

10. Slide the ink cartridge into its slot, and then gently press the ink cartridge down until it snaps into place.

    

11. Repeat these steps to inspect the vents on each of the ink cartridges.

12. Make sure each ink cartridge is firmly installed in its slot. Run your finger along the top of the ink cartridges to feel for any that are protruding, and if any are, press down firmly until each ink cartridge snaps into place.

13. Close the ink cartridge access door.

    

14. Try to print.

Hi sandy,

Like I said originally, I have already complete all of these steps without success. I have even ran the diagnostic test that are listed on other community help pages; however, when i try to print a document the printer sounds likes its working but then spits out a blank page. I bought new genuine HP ink.
