Hp Envy 4522 Printing Blank Pages

Don't worry if your HP Envy 4522 printer prints blank pages.

Use HP ink cartridges

  • Third-party ink cartridges cannot produce good quality output at any point.
  • Similarly, if your HP Envy 4522 printer keeps printing blank pages, you should check whether you have installed any third-party ink cartridges.
  • If that’s the case, replace them with original HP cartridges. Then, send a print job to your printer and check whether it can print without any issue.

Clean the clogged print head

When the print heads are clogged completely, your printer will print blank pages alone. To fix this issue, you need to clean the clogged print heads. The oncoming instructions will guide you through the whole procedure in detail:

  • Make sure that your HP Envy printer is turned on and loaded with enough paper.
  • On your computer, launch the HP printer driver.
  • Click Clean Print heads> Clean.
  • Complete the cleaning operation by following the instructions.
  • Once the print heads are cleaned, check whether your printer can print well without any blank pages.

Align the print heads

  • In some instances, aligning the print heads can help you fix the printing issues.
  • Before starting, ensure that your printer is turned on and loaded with sufficient paper.
  • Launch the HP printer driver on your computer.
  • Click Align > Align.
  • Go ahead with the instructions to complete the alignment process.
  • Once done, print a test page and check whether your “HP Envy 4522 printing blank pages” problem is solved.

Reinstall the cartridges

  • If the ink levels are empty or critically low, your printer will print blank pages. So, check the estimated ink level of your printer.
  • To check it, open the printer driver on your computer.
  • Click Supplies Status.
  • It will show you the ink levels of all the installed cartridges.
  • Locate the empty and low ink level cartridges and replace them with new ones.
  • To replace the cartridges, open your printer's front door followed by the cartridge access door (with your printer turned on).
  • Press the cartridges to be replaced and remove them from their slots.
  • Unpack the new cartridges and insert them into the respective holders.
  • Finally, close the cartridge access door and the printer's front door.
  • Now, check whether your printer can print well.

Update the printer driver

  • As the printer driver establishes the connection between your printer and the computer, you should keep it updated for the proper functioning of your printer.
  • So, if your printer driver is outdated or corrupted, you should update it to the recent version. You can get the updated printer driver from HP's official website.
  • Download the updated driver and install it on your computer.
  • If the issue is not yet resolved, check whether you can fix it with the printer power cycle.
  • To power cycle your printer, turn it off and disconnect its power cable. After a minute, reconnect the power cord to your printer and turn it on. Then, check whether the problem is resolved.
