Text is something you want to see on the pages you print. Oftentimes, images are good, too. What you don’t want to see is a blank page. No text, no pictures, nothing. Just a blank white piece of paper.

We’ve already covered what to do when your HP printer is not printing, but the HP printer printing blank pages is a somewhat different issue. In fact, it’s quite a bit different. Whereas the first problem is closer to the printer straight up not turning on, the second actually has the device working as it should (for the most part).

The printer thinks everything is okay, and you’re unlikely to run into anything from the HP printer error code list. This can make solving this issue especially troublesome. Not to worry, as there are many different steps you can take if you’re turning up blank left and right.

To try and fix your HP Printer not Printing on Left side of Page, double-check that the cartridges in the printer are correctly inserted, the protective tape is removed and that there is nothing clogging the holes on the toner or ink cartridge. You can also try gently pushing the cartridge into alignment after the printer is turned on if you suspect it’s having trouble receiving them.
