Dell printer prints first three pages but no more

Try uninstalling the printer software from the computer then reinstall.

Try to go up on the Dell website and download and install newer drivers. It sounds to me that the driver that is installed is somehow corrupted. Thus not letting you print how you would like to.

All three replies are incredibly stupid, but especially Frank's. The issue is simply that you're trying to print something that has too much complexity in it for the printer's pre-installed memory to store the final rendering of before printing. The way a laser printer works, unlike an ink jet, it has to take the entire page to be printed and render the final output in memory before the page can be fed through since it doesn't go line by line. If you're trying to print something that has a very complex page in it, such as a full 8x10 photo, the base amount of memory may not be enough. Dell sells a 256MB add-on memory chip you can put in the printer to get around this. Unfortunately the only other way around the issue would be to reduce the complexity of the page; perhaps try printing the PDF scaled down to 70% so the printed output is a lot smaller but also takes up less of the page, meaning the printer may be more likely to be able to fit the page into the existing memory.

This has to do with the document printing properties. When you are ready to print a document, choose properties and make sure you go through the printer settings under that software.
The test page only verifies the cartridges. The printer properties of the software control the printer during printing.

In your software, choose "Print Preview" from the Print menu and verify that the entire document is there. If so, be sure that you are choosing to print all pages.

in your printer properties set the paper size according to your printer paper size.

You can see the colors printed on this printer in three different methods. Well, there may be more, but I'll discuss three.

First, there is a menu screen on the printer. you can choose to print a test page from this menu. It should print in all the available colors.

Second, you can open the printers folder on your computer. Find this specific printer and look at its properties (right click, properties). Under the General tab, found in the lower right corner, there is a button to print a test page. This test page is a WINDOWS test page, and will display come of the colors on the Windows logo.

Third, you can open your favorite picture, whether it is one you took with your camera or a sample picture in the operating system. Click File, Print, and be sure the Dell printer is selected.

Good luck.

this is a printer driver issue. so, here's where you get those fresh new ones.

Sounds like you may need to replace the pick up rollers on the machine.  Without knowing exactly where the jam error happens during the print process, it's hard to say.

Try to print first a self test page on the printer. Does it print a blank page also ? Do you have good or new ink cartridges in the printer ? Let me know.
