Printer started spitting out 20 blank sheets at the same time as the one page that's being printed. Anyone know what's wrong?

I had a similar issue, it was a piece of page caught in the back of the printer. I pulled the back cover removed it and it was all good.

The same thing happened to me after a power surge and outage. I shut down my computer and printer and after wiaiting a few minutes restarted both and have had no more problems.

NO my started spitting yellow ink - Epson did replace the printer after they first indicated that they would not due to expired warranty.

I had the same problem, I took them out and then put them back in again. Once I did that a couple of times then a question mark appears on the front screen, but the printer will print it won't acknowledge the cartridge cause it is a refurbished one, but the printer will print. Try that and see if that works for you. Hope so :)

I don't really know, but if it were my printer, I would unplug it and see if it would reset itself. If not, re-install the computer with the disc. I use mine a lot with eBay and use cheap ink, cheap paper and it does a decent job. For real quality, I use another printer. This printer seems to be a faithful work horse.

I've been having the same problem with cardstock. It would just feed through blank. I went into the Setup menu --> Printer Setup --> Paper Source Settings --> Paper Configuration and turned it OFF. After that, the cardstock has been running through just fine.

I received paperwork in my shipment that stated your printer will give you an "empty" notification, because the little computer chip on each cartridge will not work correctly after being remanufactured. There were also instructions on how to bypass or ignore the "ink level warning" on the printer if that warning doesn't allow the printer to print. Give it a try printing a sample page or two. My replacement cartridges have been working just fine. Good luck!

I have printed on both sides of the paper about 50/50 text and color graphics 2 packages of paper 500 sheets per pkg. before needing to replace cartridges. Those are the original cartridges that came with the printer. I am using windows 8.1 and using the HP compatible printer settings. I had problems with the postscript settings and changed to the HP settings. Chuck Frodermann

You can also go through the printer's maintenance and try have the printer perform a print head cleaning as well. I was having some major problems with mine too (it just turned out that I was using cheap ink).

Sounds like a defective cartridge. Call HP support because they will replace it for free if they determine that is the cause.

The printer heads may need to be cleaned. Go to printer >>>touch the picture of the wrench >>>>tools >>>clean cartridges.

Have you tried checking the print folder in your control panel? You might be able to remove the unwanted project from the queue. I haven't had this printer in over 10 years, put I think that should work. Let me know if it works out.

You did not provide the printer model.Now, did you try to replace the cartridges with ORIGINAL ones? Even empty ones will do, just to test if they are recognized by the printer.(ONE cartridge will suffice for this test.)If the printer will recognize such a cartridge (even an error msg. will serve as 'Recognize'), you know what I already know: never look at this vendor and his products again...

Sometimes you have to take one out, power cycle the printer, and put the cartridge back in (sometimes more than once) to get it to recognize it as good. If there's still problems, I would suggest that not all of them be removed at once, just one. Also be aware that much of the time, the printer seems to not recognize the ink level of the cartridges unless it thinks the cartridge is empty and you "replace it" after it tells you to. Just filling them up (in or out of the printer) the printer doesn't really refresh what it thinks the ink level is.

Try the old toner and drum. Do they work? Make sure you have pulled the strip that released the toner into the unit, some do not have that requirement. If none of that helped, maybe the laser failed or other electronics. Could even be a software or driver issue, can you print a test page?

I was hopeing you had an older HP printer. Hmmm Do the rollers turn? Do you hear it trying to load? If not, time for a new printer. The older HP had probles loading one page at a time. My HP series FINALLY solved that. If it's trying to load you may just need to clean it. Sorry I can't be of more help. (Have you tried hitting it with a stick?)

My cyan did the same thing. What a bunch of cr@p!!! I think I destroyed my printer.

You need to set the no. Of pages to be duplexed, using up and down arrows on the right of the printer after clicking on duplex. Hope that helps. :-)

Have you changed the paper setting in the printer setup software? I don't know if that will help. I have done business cards in mine.
