5 Simple Fixes to try

  • Check ink cartridges
  • Run the Windows printer troubleshooter
  • Update the printer driver
  • Download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor
  • Configure Print Spooler service

Fix 1: Check your ink cartridges

If your printer keeps printing blank pages, you should verify your cartridges are working properly. Here is what you should check

Check whether your ink cartridges are clogged.

Your printer won’t function properly when the ink cartridges are blocked or clogged. If that’s the core issue, try cleaning your ink cartridges from the printer control panel or clean it manually.

Check the ink levels on your printer.

Low or empty cartridges can also cause the printer to print blank pages. So, check the ink/toner levels on your printer and replace cartridges if necessary.

Reinstall your cartridges.

Printer issues might occur when your cartridges are defective or when the connection between cartridges and your printer is weak.

Remove your cartridges to see if any cartridges are defective. If you find any damaged cartridges, replace it. If all your cartridges are in good condition, reinstall your cartridges.

Make sure your cartridges are fine, then try printing a page. If your problem still exists, then go ahead with the fix below.

Fix 2: Run the Windows Troubleshooter

The printer troubleshooter is a Microsoft built-in utility that can detect and fix common printer issues automatically.

Fix 3: Update the Printer Driver

Driver, or device driver, is a program that makes your computer and hardware attached work together. If the driver hasn’t been properly installed on your computer, your printer won’t fully function, and issues like blank page printing are likely to occur.

So updating the driver should always be your go-to option when something goes wrong with your HP printer. There are two ways you can get the right driver:

Option 1 – Manually update your printer driver

Option 2 – Download and install the driver manually

HP keeps updating printer drivers. To get the latest driver for your printer, go to the HP support website and find the driver corresponding with your specific flavor of Windows version (for example, Windows 32 bit) and download the driver manually.

Fix 4: Download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor

Fix 5: Configure Printer Spooler service

The blank-page printing issue occurs when the Printer Spooler files on your PC is damaged or missing. Try restoring your Printer Spooler service files to see if that’s the problem for you.
