My printer automatically runs a blank sheet every time I turn it on and stops it half way. It does this every time-how do I fix it??

Tough question. Delete (clean out) your old drivers then go to HP's site and download the latest drivers. Be sure you have enough paper in the tray and that should do the job.

Have you tried restarting the printer? You might need to clean the heads, use your printer software that came with your printer and it will self clean.

I've also had some issues with printing repetitive sheets and it not having enough ink. The first thing to try is just running a printer cleaning cycle. If that doesn't work, I have removed the cartridges in the printer and sucked ink (using the supplied syringe that fits over the cartridge outlet on the bottom) into the cartridge and that seems to fix the lack of ink problem. I've been using the continuous ink system for over a year now and overall it has saved me hundreds of dollars with only a little maintenance issues.

Thanks for your help. I did the firmware update and tested the printer, but the problem still persists in my case.

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.

Plug the old one back in and see if everything works like it's supposed to. That will tell you if it's a problem with the cartridge. Next step would be to try the other, new cartridge you got and see if it causes the paper jam alert. The other resource to utilize is the printer manufacturer. Ask a tech rep.

I has the same issue. I unplugged it & after it was replugged in it stopped. But every once in a while the yellow light starts blinking again. So far it has not effected the printer's ability to work well. Hope that helps.

If you haven't figured this out by now, use your on screen manual that should have loaded to your computer program list when you loaded your printer. I've not had this problem, but did have one and after hours of researching on Google I brought up the manual and followed the directions - viola, problem solved. I did have a paper jam once and couldn't see it until I opened the back of the printer. Also, always remember to push the flashing button when you've completed any task - it let's the printer know to proceed. (Richard's wife, deb)

I wonder the same thing too, I bought the printer for the same reason and am having the same problem, I just bought a tri pack Feb 21 and with almost no color printing it claims to be empty 4 months later. I've heard the printer priming itself from time to time especially when the computer wakes up from sleeping. I gues from now on i'll keep it off until im ready to print

I never had that problem, but then your printer is probably different than mine. Have you tried unplugging the printer from power source and the computer, wait a few minutes and plugging back in? Sorry I can't be more help.

Not much help for your particular problem but seriously consider dumping the printer. I had one and found endless problems with it. It is undoubtedly the worst printer I have ever purchased. Eventually I replaced it. Sorry about your problem but I can only advise based on my experience.

I see this very frequently also. At this point... it probably occurs every 5 to 20 pages which is way too often. I haven't found a solution yet, but you don't have to turn the printer on and off to get past it. You only need to open the lid and close it again (or pull the piece of paper you're using the trick the printer into thinking the lid is closed and reinsert it). This has the advantage of keeping the same print job running (which is non-disruptive if the error shows up between pages versus mid-page).

perhaps you have a defective printer, but mine works just fine ... open the front door, place paper on the tray, open the top of printer, and ready to print ... if it keeps jamming, I would request a replacement ... good luck!

it suppose to be auto-reset, you should not need to do anything, but if it glitches for any reason, just power the printer off for a couple of minutes and power back on. if that does not work, you may want to contact the seller and see if the reset chip is defected; they have good support.

I wish I could help you. It is not a good printer, I have other problems. I wish I had returned it.

The print head is probably clogged. Google it, and you will find directions on how to remove it and clean it. Do NOT use the maintance feature. It will clog it more. Good luck

Just guessing, but have you tried disconnecting the printer from the wall socket, waiting up to 30 seconds for the capacitors to drain, then plugging your printer back in to the power supply again? Doing this sometimes fixes odd behaviour. Not always of course, but at least it won't do any harm.
