Pages print, but not all of the colors print, or the pages are completely blank.
Cause
Solution
If one color is completely missing, the sealing tape might not
have been removed completely from the print cartridge.
Remove the print cartridge for the missing color and make
sure all the sealing tape has been removed completely.
If pages print completely blank, the file might have blank
pages.
Check the file to see if it contains blank pages. Delete those
pages if they are unnecessary.
If you are using non-HP print cartridges, one or more print
cartridges is low or empty. The control panel lights do not
indicate low or empty status for non-HP print cartridges.
Replace one or more of the print cartridges.
The Font DIMM check box might be selected but the font
DIMM is not physically installed in the printer. (This issue
only applies to printers that are using an Asian-language
font DIMM.)
In the settings for this printer, click to clear the Font DIMM
check box on the Configure tab if no font DIMM is installed
in the printer. Select the Font DIMM check box only if the
font DIMM is physically installed in the printer. If you think
that the font DIMM is installed, make sure that it is installed
correctly.

Cause
Solution

paper path. Remove each sheet as it exits the printer.

that you know works.
