Why is my printer printing out blank photos? - Canon PIXMA mini260 InkJet Photo Printer

The print head needs to be cleaned. If this does not work, try a new print cartridge.

Make sure your document is not blank, and the document has no blank pages below the first page.Also check your print Q and clear it before printing again.

If NO print pattern then the Printer heads clogged or damaged. New printer is cheaper than fixing.

Hi,

Your problems states that photos are being blank when trying to print it.
Please try these tips.

• Make sure your printer is selected in the Print window or in the Macintosh Page Setup and Print windows.
• The print head nozzles may need cleaning.
• Make sure your printer software settings are set for the paper size you're using.

Plus,i also wanted to know if you can print ordinary documents or print a test page.

Hope this helps.

How long was the printer stored before you took it out to use it? You can't store a printer with or without ink cartridges in it. When a printer sits, the ink that is in the print heads settles and dries. Once that happens, the print heads are pretty much ruined. You can buy new print heads, but its usually cheaper to buy another printer instead. The reason it is not printing is probably because the print heads are plugged.

Get a HP printer.

I had a new hard drive put in and my printer is printing blanks. What should I do?

try checking the pump assembly of the unit. if it is clogged, the printhead wont clean and theres a possiblility that you will not get a printout. also check the head cable to see if there are no cut traces.
