Printer prints blank pages from notepad, word, and excel.

Printer works fine when I print stuff from the internet but when I try to print something from Notepad, Word, or Excel all I get is blank pages.

  • tim8094 Sep 22, 2009

    Ya if I try to print 14 pages from excel, word, notepad it will go back and forth as if it is printing but I'll get 14 blank pages.
    And yet it prints stuff off the internet just fine.

    This is the main computer and it will print excel stuff through the wireless router to the printer downstairs but thats not fixing my problem.
    Would buying a new printer fix it?

Hi tim8094

Obviously there is nothing wrong with the printer, because you are able to print from the Internet.

Before attempting to print from word, excel etc, make sure you have the correct printer selected (check it through FILE MENU -> PRINT ->PROPERTIES)
Do a print test by typing just couple of words -may be in different color-
Best of luck

Try to do a print preview from excel.

I have a HP Deskjet 1300n printer. I can print my email, pictures and items off the internet, but cannot print any word documents or notepad documents. When I print an excel document, I get an incomplete page-the grid lines will print,and text garbage from a adobe program but not all the text. When I do a test print page, I get an incomplete text page, but do not know how to solve this. I have removed and reloaded the printer software-no improvement. There are no new drivers to be installed.

Printer prints always only a blank page

2 more things to try. Assuming it is USB Change USB port. Re boot the computer. Replace the cable. Reboot the computer. Coming back to the driver software. Go to Start /Printers and Faxes/Install new printer Leave what is there in place When the Wizard comes up and asks CD or Select from list Choose select from list - then go to HP and your model and simply load the generic driver. Try each alteration one at a time Tell us what you get.
