There are not many things that are more frustrating than cautiously putting together a very important document, file or any presentation and printing it through HP printers, only to wait and get to know that printer is sending out a number of completely blank sheets of paper, as new as they were before. There are a number of issues that could be the reason for causing this problem.
Some of the important reasons that needs to be followed are –
- Empty ink or toner cartridges that need replaced at regular intervals.
- Ink or toner cartridges that have been dislodged from their proper place due to some accident or while setting it.
- The wrong paper size is loaded in the input tray and the printer cannot identify it.
- Clogged printhead nozzles causing a build-up of blocked ink or toner in their cartridges and printer are giving out blank papers.
- There are blank pages in the document that you’re printing causing the problem.
There are various number of ways to correct these problems quickly and get back to printing with your Hap printer without any issues and with ease.
1. Empty Cartridges in the HP printer.
Do not take this negatively, but have to check your ink/toner levels in the cartridges of your HP printer. It is possible that they are completely depleted since you last used the printer and checked it. Regularly check the ink/toner levels and replace when necessary. This 8s the most common issue with the printers printing blank pages.
2. Disconnected Cartridge in your HP printer.
Even if your cartridge is full and it can print many pages, it is a possibility that the cartridges have become a bit dislodged and have no electrical contact with the printer. The easiest way to check and correct this simple problem is to remove and reinstall the cartridges carefully. This might help in completing the electrical circuit and ensure everything runs and prints as normally it does in HP printers.

3. Incorrect Paper Size
It is possible that you have accidentally ( for a previous print job) changed the in-program paper size setting and did not change it back to your paper size of choice of current needs– it can potentially be confusing the printer. To solve this issue, Goto Print Preview or print settings and ensure that the correct paper size is selected and that kind 9f paper is present in the paper tray.
4. Clogged Nozzles
This problem is likely to affect people most who are using their printer quite irregularly , with hardened ink initially clogging up the nozzles and in future completely blocking the passage for the ink to pass though. HP printers have a ‘Print Head Nozzle Check’ option, you should select that and the machine clear the nozzles itself. This will help you and the printer in removing any blockages and help the ink to flow as before.
5. There are Blank Pages in the Document
If you are printing a document that contains many pages, from an external party, there might be the presence of some blank pages in the document itself to break up sections which are impossible to delete or omit from the document.
This can be very irritating issue and a waste of time. Fortunately both Windowsand and the older version along with mac have developed steps to make sure that your printer can ignore blank pages and get directly into the good stuff.
For Windows 10 and older versions of windows –
- Open Settings, and choose Devices and Printers & Scanners.
- Select your printer which has the issues.
- Click on Manage, then on thePrinting Preferences.
- Select Skip Blank Page in the document.
- Save your settings by clicking OK and confirming it.
For maC –
- Choose System Preferences from Finder, then click on Print & Scan, Print & Fax or Printers & Scanners (the option will depend on the OS versions).
