Answer 1

A ink cartridge or cartridges maybe low, empty or possibly clogged



First step is to see will if it print a test page



Go to Start, settings, printers. Right click on the printer, properties, print test page.



If that doesn't work there should be a head cleaning option in properties that will make it clean the print heads.



If the ink cartridge is still clogged, saturate a q-tip with alcohol

and lightly rub the print head



If there is still nothing after that then either it’s badly clogged, low or out of ink, and needs to be replaced

Answer 2

In my experience, inkjet printers inevitably develop problems like this. It's because the little nozzles that squirt out the different colors of ink get fouled.



On some printers, like some hewlett packard printers for example, the nozzles are part of the ink cartridges themselves. So you can at least fix the problem by replacing the cartridges.



But of course the ink cartridges aren't real cheap. Neither is it real cheap to keep using the "nozzle cleaning" procedure built into the printer menus, which basically squirts (and wastes) a large amount of ink through the nozzles, trying to clear it.



I've found that ink jet printers generally develop these kinds of problems unless they're used fairly constantly. Let them sit idle for a few weeks say, and when you return there will be problems.



Actually I've come to hate pretty much all printers.



I've ended up using nothing but 24 pin mechanical impact printers. They're slow and noisy as hell, and they're black and white only. But they can sit idle for years and work perfectly when started up again. The ribbons last forever and they cost like 5 bucks to replace if you do wear one out.



If I have to have something better I'd go to a laser printer, but I don't think I ever want any ink jet printer again. They're just too much trouble.

There is 3 things that cause this problem.



1. surface dry cartridge ( easy fix simply place printhead over some boiling hot water for 10-15 seconds, dry completely and reinstall)



2. Internal dry (can only be fix by professional, needs to be flush from inside)



3. Air clogged (most common problem for the DIY). Any printhead cartridges, if you want to refill your own you must fill it when there is still ink inside the cartridge (about 20% left). If not this will create an air clog and ink will not flow. Usually it prints a few pages then blank.



I think you issue is #1, good luck!

If you are using Windows then before printing something you must clear previous tasks of printing if they didn't succeeded.For this go to print options menu and delete previous tasks. Check your cartridge and properly align the paper in the printer. Samjhe Dost!
