MY PRINTER OFFLINE
I don't have a solution for this problem. I have a comment. I have the same types of issues with my HP. I hate HP. Why is it that we can design software to remotely fly fighter jets but we can't get reliable software to print wirelessly? I am now going to throw my HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-One in the road.

replace the carrage unit in the printer
HP Photosmart 7525 printing blank pages
Do a hard reset of the printer . Since you can print out a status report that indicates that the hardware and cartridges are good but that the software or electronics, may be bogus.
If you go to HP they will refer you to a forum or advise you to get a new printer -an HP, of course!
Looks like a braille text
Open the HP Printer Toolkit (this software was installed from the CD-ROM that came with the HP printer) and run a "cleaning cycle",
because some of the ink-jets are clogged, which results in the "all-white" horizontal lines, where some part of that line should be black.
