Hi @Rnotty,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

It sounds like you have an HP ENVY 5530, not the 5330 printer  (no such model found) is experiencing a frustrating ink recognition issue that leads to blank pages and paper rejection. Let’s walk through a few steps to help you fix this with care and clarity 

1. Reset the Printer

This clears temporary memory glitches:

  • Turn off the printer.
  • Unplug it from the power source for 60 seconds.
  • Plug it back in and turn it on.


2. Clean the Printhead

Clogged or misaligned printheads can cause blank pages:

  • On the printer touchscreen, go to Settings > Tools > Clean Printhead.
  • You may need to run this 2–3 times for the full effect.

3. Reinstall Cartridges

Sometimes the printer fails to read the ink properly:

  • Remove both cartridges.
  • Clean the copper contacts gently with a lint-free cloth.
  • Reinsert them firmly and close the lid.


4. Restore Wi-Fi Setup Mode

If Wi-Fi Direct isn’t working:

  • Go to Wireless Settings > Restore Network Settings.
  • Reconnect using the HP Smart app or your device’s Wi-Fi settings.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!
