HP 1040 FAX was working perfectly, good copy, but suddenly now receives FAXes and sounds like it is priniting but prints only blank pages! It will also not print copies when asked to do so. The ink cartridge is nearly new.
SOURCE: Panasonic KX_FL 520 Fax problem
THE DOCUMENT SENSOR OR THE DOCUMENT END SENSOR ARE EITHER BAD OR THE SENSOR LEVER IS STUCK OR BROKEN CHECK THESE AND YR PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED HAPPY FAXING OMNIPRESENT
SOURCE: the fax will not print anything
2 possibilities
1- you did not remove the plastic film on the cartridge
2- the printhead has dried up
SOURCE: installed a brand new cartridge in hp 1040 fax but prints very poorly(light )
remove the new cartridge
TAKE A MICROFIBER CLOTH MOISTENED WITH RUBBING ALCOHOL AND WIPE THE PRINT HEAD ( THE PART OF THE CARTRIDGE THAT CONTACTS PAPER)
REINSTALL THE CARTRIDGE THEN TEST
ALSO YOU MAY WANT TO WIPE OFF THE CONTACTS ON THE BACK OF THE INK CARTRIDE WITH THE MICROFIBER CLOTH MAKING SURE THERE ARE NO FINGERPRINTS ON THE CONTACTS

Hi!
Does it recognise that it has paper?
Is the printer ribbon/ cartridge empty?
Try replacing the ink cartridge that you have.
If it does not use ink/roll and is a thermal printer, it may be the thermal print head is broken and needs replacement.
Hope this helps.
