Hp officejet h470 only prints a blank page

I'm helping my parents install this printer to their travel laptop, which is a netbook. Installation went fine, just plugged in the printer and windows installed it automatically. When I try printing, however, the printer only prints a blank page. This happened both when I tried to print a wordpad file with only the text 'test', and when trying to print out a color photo. There are no warning lights flashing on the computer, nothing to indicate that ink is low or a mechanical failure of some time. The computer feeds the paper in, and makes printing noises, but the page comes out blank.

hi,

you can try this workaround.. most of the printing issues can be solve by doing the following steps.:

1. download the Printing diagnostic utility
2. install it, and run it.
3. when its open, click on DIAGNOS, it will give you several errors why you cant print.
4. after doing that step, click on FIX. it will automatically fix the issue.
5. after that, it will give you all green checkmarks. then try to print something.


below is the link where you can download the file "printing diagnostic utility"

Check your user manual for resetting the printer to factory default settings.

If that doesn't work, unplug your printer from the computer and uninstall your software through Add/Remove Hardware. Shut down your computer and reboot. Reinstall your printer software, following the instructions carefully.

This should clear up your problem.
Let me know if you still are having problems. :)

If you have a USB memory stick (Flash Drive) you can copy the contents of the CD to that and then run the setup program from there. If you don't have a PC with a CD drive you could ask a friend/colleague to copy the cd onto the stick for you.

I have an officejet H470 printer, prints slow

More than likely the print resolution is set to it's highest setting. In the printer settings change it to 'Normal' or 'Fast Normal'. It will print fast then. Hope this helps you.
