Blank page printed

Check for empty ink cartridges

If you are printing black text and a blank page prints, the black ink cartridge might be empty. See Replacing the ink cartridges.

Check media settings

zMake sure you select the correct print quality settings in the printer driver for the media loaded in the trays. For example, Maximum dpi is only available for photo paper and cannot be used with other media types.

zMake sure the page settings in the printer driver matches the width of media loaded in the tray. See Changing print settings.

Check the parallel port on your computer

If you are using a parallel cable, make sure the printer is connected directly to the parallel port. Avoid sharing the port with other devices, such as a Zip drive or other printers.

Something on the page is missing or incorrect

Check margin settings

Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of the printer. See Setting minimum margins.

Check color print settings

Make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected in the printer driver.

Check the printer location and length of USB cable

High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes slightly distort printouts. Move the printer away from the source of the electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields.
