why does my printer only pretend to print and throws out blank pages

Same thing happened to me. After not printing(B&W) for awhile, I took out the black cartridge - carefully, to avoid stains - and wiped the ink orifice with an alcohol-soaked Q-tip. I might have done it more than once; at any rate, it worked and the ink now flows well. The color cartridges were OK, but I am prepared to repeat the trick if necessary. It's worth a try. Good luck.

try running a print head clean with a new cartridge, otherwise you may need a new print head

Mine does the same thing, usually in the middle of printing a photo or multiple pages. I emailed seller for a replacement chip/circuitry/cartridges. They replied saying to press the reset button (which I've done countless times), then they said it was out of warranty and they don't sell just the circuitry. You have to buy the whole kit.

Turn the printer off for a minute then turn back on to reset, this happens with my 7520 e all in one too. this should work.

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.

Try opening the printer settings from the computer. Also try the settings from the printer itself. Maybe try shutting it off and on.

check what your printer is on. The printer can usually work it for you. Brenda

I had the same issue. I was able to print using "print" from the "file" menu.

Hmmm. . .check to see if you loaded it right? Is the ink actually printing out? Might be some missing pieces or broken pieces since they are only compatible and not the designated design. Check to see if the seller refurbished this product because most of them are.

I am not quite sure, because my printer is having some problems. And I am not sure as to what is the exact cause with the printing. So, I don't want to steer you wrong, ok.

I'm not sure what you mean but I do know that my printer shows empty even with the new cartridge. It does print

Almost certainly your printer has a dirty or clogged print head on one of the cartridges. Use the utilities to assist in diagnosing the problem. Regards, Bill

If any cartridge is empty, the printer will no work. I always have cartridges on hand, but you should get a warning that one is running low

My printer does the same thing. I just simply bypass it is and it still prints. The problem is that the ink cartridge isn't the manufacturers brand name replacements and it doesn't recognize it.

Make sure you use a Static IP address, in addition, set a port number for the print server. It should work

I ran into a problem with my HP Officejet 6500 - E709a. It won't print or copy - the printer just spits out the blank paper. I've recycled power, I've unplugged power & USB for a minute and cleaned the cartriges and powered abck uo to no avail. I'm using new HP cartridges. Any ideas what could be wrong & how to fix?Tom C

From what I know about my printer is leave the empty color cartridge in there and it should just print black & white. At least that's what mine does.
