Printing and Copying Blank Pages

[AC1005]

Hello,

My printer will only print and copy blank pages. I have tried all of the tips to reset, reboot, clean/replace cartridges and nothing has worked. What else should I try to resolve this?

Hi @AC1005,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

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

I see that you are facing an issue with your printer.

A) Please follow the steps below to perform a power drain.

1) Take out the cartridges

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

Remove the cartridges > Unplug the power cord > Wait for 30 seconds > Plug the power cord back in > Insert the cartridges

B) Kindly refer to the steps on this link to update the printer firmware and let me know if that resolves the issue.

C) If the issue still persists, refer to the steps on this link to further troubleshoot.

Please mark this post as “Accepted Solution” if the issue is resolved and if you feel this reply was helpful click “Yes”.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day

Hi! Thank you for the suggestions. I tried all 3 (A, B, and C) and did not have luck. Everything else with my printer is functioning completely normal besides the fact that everything comes out blank. Any last ideas? I really don’t want to have to get a new printer because my printer is usually great. Thank you for the help!
