Toolbox help, and the documentation provided by your network vendors.

A Blank Page is Ejected

Check that the tape is removed from the ink nozzles on the print cartridges.

Check that the media you are using is wide enough

The media width must match the page settings in your print settings.

Check for an empty print cartridge

If you are printing black text and a blank page is printed, your black print cartridge may be empty. Replace the black print cartridge.

Check the printer setup

Make sure your printer is selected as the current or default printer.

Check the parallel port on your computer

If you are using a parallel cable, make sure your printer is connected directly to the parallel port. Do not share the port with other devices such as a Zip drive.

Placement of the Text or Graphics is Wrong

The paper size or orientation settings may be incorrect

Make sure the paper size and page orientation selected in the software program match the settings in the HP print settings dialog box.

The paper may not be loaded correctly

If everything on the page is slanted or skewed, make sure the paper width and length guides fit snugly against the left and bottom edges of the paper stack and that there are no more than 150 sheets of paper loaded in the main tray or 10 sheets of paper in the alternative tray.

The margin settings may be wrong

If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of your printer.

Something on the Page is Missing or Incorrect

The margin settings may be wrong

Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of your printer.
