Printer not printing

Printer goes through the motions, but spits out completely blank paper.
I've put in new ink cartridges (twice) and still nothing.
Can you help?

  • newkirk1219 Jul 27, 2008

    Replace the black ink cartridge but the printer will not print. Tried the suggestion of holding the cancel and print buttons but that did not help.

    You may have to re-install your printer software, then after doing that re-boot your computer. If that doesn`t work unplug your printer (both plugs), while unplugged re-boot computer,plug back in, re-install your printer software, re-boot again and try printing a test paper. Good luck.

Try this. Push the copy and cancel buttons together for about 3 seconds. Then release. The printer should push a blank piece of paper through. Try to print.

Replaced ink cartridges, printer goes through all the motions, but paper comes out blank. I have done all the maintenance steps. What gives?

Cannon ink cartridges go into a print head. This is normally a removable box the ink cartridge sits in.

First remove the head and the cartridges from it. Now try this to clean the old ink off the print head, rub/soak the print head in alcohol. Make sure the print head is complete dry and place the ink back in it and return to the printer. Try to print a page, if you have the same results you need to replace the print head.

The Ink at the head of your Printer Cartridges has dried up.
Try this:

Load some plain paper in the printer

Remove the cartridges from the printer and carefully dab the print heads of the cartridges with a damp paper towel. ( when you start to see ink, the ink is starting to flow).

Replace the cartridges into the printer.

Go to:

Start
Control Panel
Printers
RIGHT click on this printer
choose Printing preferences
services
clean print cartridges 9some papers may print)
follow the instructions and do the heavier cleaning as well

Run the calibration function and allow the paper to print.

Is this a genuine lexmark cartridge? If so, please take it out and use a tissue paper to cover the bottom part and give the cartridge a gentle shake.

Do I need a color cartridge to print in black ink

the paper was black or blank? i think you mean blank, the ink will dry out over time replacing the cartridges will most likely solve the problem, or for the cost of the two cartridges u may want to consider a new cheap printer.

your print head is either clogged or damaged, A print head is the unit your ink cartriges sit in. If its a nedw or newer printer (under warranty) you can contact the manufacturer and they will send you a new print head at little to no cost-good luck

Printer prints no ink.

probably you just replaced th "ink" but what you really need to replace is the "PRINTHEADS"
