This is a common problem with printers. Reinstall the driver, preferably from the Canon download website. It will have the newest drivers and have fixes for any problems which existed before. Let me know if you need more help. Thanks for using FixYa and for the generous rating.
hi,
The blank sheet is actually the page separator which is used when a lot of people prints to the same printer. So that everyone can differentiate their printouts. Use can disable the 'Page separator' option from your printer settings through your PC.
Please come back and rate my solution if it turns to be helpful for you.
Thnx
You may need to clean the printer heads. First try going to your printers properties and you should have an option via troubleshooting to clean, if this does not help, look inside the printer depending on the model, near the cartridge, you'll find where the ink comes out. Take a damp qtip and wipe them good. They are most likely clogged. I cleaned mine with alcohol but I'm also a risk taker :). Hope this helps!
Internet printing can be tricky because everything is in HTML which is not designed for printing but for clicking. So there are links and features but when you try to print it can be blank or half pages. Is there a button on the site that says printable view or print these directions or something similar? If you click on that it should allow you to print the page as you see it on your screen.
Lots of reasons here but usually it is because the software you are using to print is not compatible with the operating system anymore. Example: you used MS Photo Editor which was discontinued in 2003 and never supported under Windows XP. The one function that is broken is printing...it looks like it printed but a blank sheet of paper comes out. (exactly what you described)
Instead, use MS Picture and Fax Viewer or the follow-on product, MS Office Picture Manager.
If you remove the MS Photo Editor application under Control Panel/Software Programs then your picture files will open with a different (more print compatible and friendly) program.
