My HP 3550 deskjet will simply not print. It goes through the motions and seems to be printing --but the page is blank or very faint. I have already cleaned and re-calibrated the printer

I have the same issue, but with a HP DJ 3550, I´ve heard about the data execution protection (DEP) migth help when changing the options, but still have to try it
If it is printing very faint or blank, it is the cartridge. If it is not printing at all, and you are getting blinking lights post them and we can help. Sorry kinda hard to understand your issue
