Copying comes out blank

[Helen48]

My sprocket printer has started to print out blank photos, instead of the photo i’m Trying to print. I’ve had my printer for 1 year, and it has worked totally fine, until a few weeks ago. I don’t know why it is printing blank photos, or what I can do about it. Maybe it needs new ink? I hope you will help me.

@Helen48,

Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support community!

Let's try these steps:

Step 1: Use genuine HP ZINK photo paper

Step 2: Reset the Sprocket

• Turn on the printer.
• Locate the Reset button near the charging port.

             

• Gently insert the straight pin into the reset button access point, and then press the Reset button for 3 seconds.
• The printer resets and turns off.
• Turn on the printer.
• Reconnect the Sprocket via Bluetooth.

Step 3: Try Updating the Sprocket's Firmware

• Make sure your Sprocket battery is charged greater than 75%
• Ensure your Sprocket is powered on and connected to your phone via Bluetooth.
• In the Sprocket mobile app, tap ‘menu’ (3 lines) -> ‘Sprocket’ -> ‘Printers’ -> ‘Get Firmware Upgrade’ 
• Try printing a photo and check the quality.
