Printer Printing Blank Pages

4.5

The printer goes through the motions of printing but the paper comes out completely white.

Symptoms
  • Blank pages
  • No ink on paper
  • Full cartridges
Possible Causes
  • Clogged printhead
  • Protective tape still on
  • Empty ink (software error)

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Run Printhead Cleaning

Use the printer's maintenance menu to run a deep clean cycle.

2

Check Tape

Ensure the orange or yellow protective tape is removed from new cartridges.

3

Check Ink Levels

Don't trust the software; physically check if the cartridge feels heavy.

When to See a Technician

If an inkjet printer isn't used for weeks, the ink in the nozzles can dry and block the flow.
