Hi @KMORRIS0014,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It sounds frustrating to deal with a printer that only produces blank pages. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

Check Ink or Toner Cartridges: Make sure that your printer has enough ink or toner. If the cartridges are empty, they'll need to be replaced. Also, check if the cartridges are properly installed.

Run a Print Head Nozzle Check: If you're using an inkjet printer, there might be a clog in the print heads. Most printers have a function to clean the print heads directly from the printer’s menu or through the printer software on your computer.

Check the Paper: Ensure that the paper is loaded correctly in the tray and that there are no jams inside the printer.

Printer Settings: Look at the printer settings either on the printer itself or through the printer software on your computer. Make sure the correct paper size and type are selected and that the printer is not set to use a blank page as a separator.

Update Printer Drivers: Outdated or corrupted printer drivers can cause issues. Check the manufacturer’s website for the latest printer drivers and software updates.

Check for Software Conflicts: Sometimes, certain applications can cause printing issues. Try printing from another program or file to see if the issue persists.

Restart the Printer and Computer: Turn off your printer and computer completely, then restart them. This can resolve many printing issues caused by software or communication errors.

Consult the Printer’s Manual: If none of the above steps work, refer to the printer’s manual for specific troubleshooting steps or error codes that might give more insight into the problem.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
