Canon PIXMA  MP530 All-In-One InkJet Printer Logo

Anonymous Posted on Jun 27, 2014

My MP530 won't print. It isn't coming up with an error and all the inks are fine.

The printer appears to be fine, but will only give me blank pages. I have done a nozzle check and the colours have printed out (I presume as they should). Have tried other documents also with no difference.

I know this sounds rather patronising but are you sure you have removed the tape on the black in cartridge before you fitted a new one. You would be amazed how many people forget to do it.

SOURCE: error 5100 for canon s600 bubblejet printer

try these points ----

As a technician, I have worked on tons of printers. This particular error had stumped me for a while, but I finally found the cause. As others had pointed out before, it can have alot to do with some obstruction in the print path, the gears, or ink on the clear plastic encoder strip. You're on the right track - I found the the purge cap (the white sliding mechanism that the print head parks to when it's not in use) was not lubricated well enough from factory. If you lubricate the sliders with some white grease (don't get it on the small wipers or the black caps) the mechanism can now slide more freely, and the unit can park the head properly without giving you the dreaded head homing error 5100 (or E-2-2 on the LCD display) Keep in mind that this repair will probably require you to remove the right panel off of the printer to gain access to the purge mechanism. There are two screws behind the printer, and two in front for each corrosponding side panel (the front screws are behind the grey front panel of the printer - open the top cover to see the clips which hold the front cover on) Hope this helps some of you out.

SOURCE: Prints blank pages

hi jcruisedirec

Test print shows that there is no problem with he printer.
Do this:

Type just one or two words in a new document and try to print. Before printing, look at the print setup and make sure you have the correct printer name selected.
Also when you go to print, there are few options like:

  • Print All
  • Current page
  • Pages
  • Selection
If you attempt to print "selection" without actually selecting a certain portion of the document, you get blank page.
So first check that the correct name of the printer is selected.
Then test printing one page
Hope this will help you. Good luck.

The black ink on my Brother DCP-130C won't print and it's a brand new ink cartridge. I thought it was a defected cartridge so I bought another one, same thing. The other 3 colours print ok though....

I have the same problem. Everything on the printer is working just fine. It'll do a test page just fine, so everything's working right. The %$^ thing just won't print. It makes noise like it's printing when you give it a print job, but it spits out blank pages.

My HP deskjet 2050 all-in-one printer only shoots out blank paper and won't print. It used to say there was no paper in it, which there was. It scans & prints just fine - just won't print...

Any error messages on the printer digital screen or the desktop? I take it the "The ink is fine" means that there is ink in the cartridges!

Try a test print via the Control Panel> Printers and Faxes> properties > Print test page.

My Canon MP530 is giving 6A00 error message and alarm light is flashing along with copy button. i have replaced empty ink cartridges with new ones. Can anyone help, please?

Error code 6A00 indicates an error occurred in the AP motor during purging operation. You need to replace sheet feed unit, logic board assy and purge unit to fix it. Before replacement of the logic board assy, check the waste ink amount (by service test print or EEPROM information print). If the waste ink amount is 7% or more, also replace the ink absorber kit when replacing the logic board assy.

After changing the ink cartridges...my printer is only printing out blank pages... I tried soaking the print head in distilled water then gently wiping it off with alcohol.. the printer is working but...

Assuming you're cart. got ink in it (I had some new carts. with no ink in them once !) , soak surface of the head into hot water for about 20 sec. and test it over a cloth by gliding it. Repeat process until ink is out.

Also clean contacs on both cartridge and holder with lint free damped cloth.

Good luck.

pls. vote for better service

MP530: After printing one page, it gives "Paper Jam" error, I open and close the ink cover, and print another page, with the resultant "Paper Jam" error, etc. Any solutions?

Either you have a bad sensor, or the sensor arm is bent so that it doesn't return properly after paper passes thru, It's hard to see, on the right side behind the platen roller, above the white guide plates.

Band of ink on back of printed page

The exit rollers need to be cleaned, but whats happening is ink is coming from the bottom onto the rollers. It needs to come apart and be cleaned and a mylar strip put in to keep the ink from coming up. A shop repair usually.
