My HP C7280 prints one blank page for every real page. Every document from every source - internet, word, excel, outlook - and from every computer attached to the printer.

Ahh... try looking at the printer dialogue box, under "Preferences" for the "printable area" portion, make sure that it is set correctly:

1) for the size paper you are using (assuming 8.5" x 11") and...

2) Look to see if the "magnification" is set slightly higher than 100% (some give options to enlarge/print full page/center on page/etc). If it is larger, change it to 100%. If it's at 100%, see if you can change to, say 95% (some show a diagram of the paper, with the printable area as a dashed line, you may be able to drag it smaller with the mouse)

The last resort (a little out there, but possible), change the screen-resolution size (Control Panel ---> Display --> dialogue box tab labeled "Settings" ---> Screen resolution... it probabaly is not the issue, however I have seen multiple printer errors, because of the way the printer draws data from windows, that were affected by the screen resolution size (just haven't heard of it in awhile, lol!)

Hope this helps!

    PS -- I forgot to mention:



    The reason for changing the size is because the printer may be recieving a job that takes up (just slightly) 2 pages due to the settings... shrink the file job, and it might just work! Good luck! -- RT

Prints blank page

Have you checked the print que
Printer problems can be a real hassle.
From time to time, due to document layout or settings on your computer, in your software of choice, or even on your printer, a blank page may get "printed" with the rest of your document.
Fortunately, this issue is a simple one to troubleshoot.
Click "Print Preview" when you are finished with your document and ready to print.
Observe your document.
If you see an extra, blank page, you have created a second page.
To delete the second page, close Print Preview, go back into the document and eliminate any blank lines in your documents that you may not need.
You may also find an inadvertent page break at the end of your document.
Place your cursor on its symbol and delete it.
Locate the symbol by clicking on the Show Formatting paragraph icon in the toolbar.


Circumvent this "ghost page" if you do not see a second (or additional) blank page in Print Preview.

Specify the number of pages you wish to print, within the Print dialogue box.
This is typically done by selecting the "Print From" option, then entering the page numbers desired.
If your document happens to be ten pages (without, of course, that final blank page), then enter in the "Print From" field the numbers "1-10".
This will print only pages 1 through 10, without an eleventh (blank) page.

I have an HP C7280 AIO printer. Everytime I print, it always form feeds a blank page bewteen each printed page (print page 1, form feed a blank page, print page 2, form feed a blank page, and so on).

Generally, there are printer set up programs that will let you chose to put a blank sheet or to not do that. If you have a disk or manual, look for the set up utility and go thru the tabs to find paper handling or something similar to that. There should be a check box you can clear to stop the blank page.

I hope that this information was helpful. Have a great day.

Blank sheet before each printed page

Here's a simple solution. It's easy! Instead of it being the C7280 - it's the C7250 - should be the same driver however. Good Luck!
