Printing blank pages from word and now every time canon 6530

I've seen a number of reports like this. I assume that you CAN print from other programs, such as your Internet browser?

If you can't print from ANY program, that's one thing, but if the only programs that aren't printing are WordPad and Notepad (and they print blank pages), the usual cause is that your printer (always a color inkjet of some type) will not print documents that are all black & white, but as long as there is some color in the page, the page prints.

The reason for that is something wrong with the black ink cartridge. Have you recently put in a new black cartridge, and if so, is it not the ink recommended by the printer manufacturer?

Or has the printer been sitting unused for a long time?

Print a test page using the printer's front panel controls. What happens?

Depending on the make and model of the printer, you might need to:
(a) run the printer's print head cleaning routine,
(b) print a test page, perhaps several times,
(c) manually clean the printer's printing head or related parts,
(d) insert a new black ink cartridge of the recommended type.

It sounds like it is out of ink. Try adding a new ink cartridge. There are some on line support locations that may help you.

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent inkdrying out and blocking the print head nozzles.
If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages,then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive.
It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer thanreplace the print head.

Hi,
you have problem with laser shuter on laser unit. It needs to be fixed or replaced.
This is canons factory fault, and if the machine is under waranty call service.

Hope that helped!

There is an option in the print driver to print a separation page (typically just a blank page unless you specify otherwise) so that each person's print jobs can be differentiated easily.

This option probably got enabled somehow on her PC. Have her go into the print driver's properties (right click on the Canon in the list of printers and select Properties) and look for the option that says separation page or separator page and deselect it. Then click Apply or OK, and it should be good.

you need to change the print head ...

My MF 6530 printer began printing light so we changed the cartridge and the machine began printing blank pages. When the other cartridge was put back in the machine, it too began printing blank pages. We have several of these machines in a couple of offices and have had this problem before. Canon is aware of the issue with this model, but I would like to know it as well. Can you help with what the problem is and the repair instruction? A friend of mine with this machine and the same problem, had called Canon and they had repaired it quite fast in his office. I'd like to do it myself in case it re-occurrs.

I would reset the Photo conductor unit. It will have a Green drum in it. I would make sure it is set in the machine all the way, and that the drum door opens completly. BLANK copies are and indication the paper has NOT touched the drum to recieve an image.

Sounds like your printhead is clogged, see posts in my profile for clearing out stubborn clogs.
