Printing problems When I hit the Print button, my HP LaserJet 4 printer just prints blank pages. I don't think there is a problem with the toner cartridge. Is there some other reason that the printer would be printing blank pages? I have been trying to print a Word document with text only--no images. I would appreciate someone's help. Thanks.

the laser beam is block you need to open the printer and unjammed
since every time you put a toner cartridge there is a fin that moves the cover over the laser or maybe you have a faulty cartridge that the fin is broken

Had this exact problem after blowing some leaked toner out with an air compressor. Cleaning the 4 mirrors behind the cartridges fixed the problem!

Does it print at all? Have you tried a demo print? menu->information->print demo

Is it printing additional blank pages are all pages blank?

The first thing to check would be the toner.

Try printing out the supply status page (menu->information->print suppies status).

You could also try diagnostics-> PQ troubleshoot.

HP 1320 Prints Blank Pages Problem with the HP LaserJet 1320 Printer

Check the yellow toner cartridge, printing a configuration page.

Configuration page
The Configuration page lists the current settings and properties of the printer. You can print a
Configuration page from the printer or HP Toolbox. To print the Configuration page from the printer,
complete the following steps.
1 Press the (LEFT ARROW) or the (RIGHT ARROW) buttons to select the Reports menu.
2 Press the button (SELECT).
3 Press the (LEFT ARROW) or the (RIGHT ARROW) buttons to select Config report.
4 Press the button (SELECT) to print the Configuration page.

Yellow print OK?
No? try print with another yellow toner cartridge (Q6002A).

This can be caused by a number of reasons however it is mostly caused by the toner cartridge missing a small spring on one end. Try replacing toner cartridge first.

Try Using the HP Print Diagnostic Utility in Windows - HP Customer Care (United States - English).
Post back or thumbs!

press and hold the green button for 5 seconds to generate an internal test print... does it print? If it does its a driver issue... if it dosent check your toner ctg remove and reinstall

Yes you can replace the transfer roller, but check to make sure the roller is firmly seated into its holder and that the springs are contacting the metal shaft.

Good Luck

Hi devi960:
Pages print, but all
colors do not print or
the pages are
completely blank.
One of the print cartridges might be
low or empty.
Run an engine test and see if all four colors print. If
not all colors print, replace one or more of the print cartridges. If the
engine test is successful, replace the formatter.
If the printed pages are completely
blank, the file might have blank
pages.
Check the file to make sure that it does not contain blank pages.
A print cartridge might be low or
empty.
Check the printer control panel for a Supplies Status message,
print a Supplies Status page, or use the embedded Web server
(HP color LaserJet 2500 series printers only) to see the levels
remaining in the print cartridges. Replace any print cartridges that
are low or empty. Messages are not created for non-HP print
cartridges.
If you are using non-HP print
cartridges, one or more print
cartridges are low or empty. The
control panel lights do not indicate
low or empty for non-HP print
cartridges.
Replace one or more of the print cartridges.
Font DIMM might be selected but the
font DIMM is not physically installed in
the printer. (This issue applies only to
HP color LaserJet 2500 series
printers using an Asian-language font
DIMM.)
In the settings for this printer, clear the Font DIMM check box on
the Configure tab if no font DIMM is installed in the printer. Select
the Font DIMM check box only if the font DIMM is physically
installed in the printer. If you think that the font DIMM is installed,
make sure that it is installed correctly.
The paper curls when
exiting the top output
bin.
The paper needs to print to the
straight-through paper path.
Open the rear output door to print to the straight-through paper
path. Remove each sheet as it exits the printer.
The stack was slightly curled when it
was placed in the tray.
Turn the stack over in the tray.
The paper does not meet
specifications.
See the user guide for information about print-media specifications.
If you are printing on light media, the
Type setting might not be correct.
Select Light in the Type is field in the printer driver.
