The cartridge may have in ink them, however the bottom of the cartridge is vblocked and not allowing that ink to come out.



If you haven't used your printer in a couple month, ink will dry in the fine mesh screen behind the print head which block in k from passing through the print head onto the page. You need new cartridge.

HP printers come with software that allows you to run a "test print page". I would suggest doing that. It can diagnose print cartridge problems.

Go Start - Settings - Printers, right-click you printer, select Properties and then click Print Test Page under General tab. If it prints, you're fine in terms or printer and drivers thus something's wrong with your doc you're trying to print. If not, try installing a new driver after downloading it from HP.

If it is a brand new cartridge, make sure that you have removed the protective sticker/label on the ink cartridge head.

Hi, you may try the followings:



1. Check the display for an error message. If the display reads "Clearing paper from printer," the engine has detected a jam and is attempting to eject the jammed pages automatically. These pages will often be blank.

2. Check the display for "Performing PRINT/STOP TEST" or "Performing SERVICE TEST." Either of these messages indicates that the printer is going through a test procedure that may eject blank pages.

3. Reduce the amount of paper in the input tray if the printer is feeding multiple blank sheets at a time. The printer will pull extra pages through if the input tray is overfilled.

4. Replace the paper in the input tray with the correct size if needed. If the 4600 printer detects the paper as an incorrect size for the print job, it may eject the paper without printing anything on it.

5. Replace the ink cartridges if certain colors are blank on the page. Replace the black cartridge if printing a black text document that is coming out blank. The printer may attempt to print even if the ink level is low or empty, but will unable to print anything on the page, causing it to come out blank.

6. Remove the sealing tape from newly installed cartridges. The tape covers the print heads and should be removed before installing the cartridges. If the tape is left on, it will prevent ink from getting on the pages as they print.

7. Press the "Check mark" button on the control panel to enter the printer menu. Run a diagnostic so the printer can attempt to determine the cause of the blank pages printing. Press the up or down arrow to select "Diagnostics." Press the "Check mark" button. Press the "Down" arrow to highlight "PQ Troubleshooting." Press the "Check mark" button. The printer runs a diagnostic and returns to a ready state when done.
