== ***Device Only Prints Blank Pages*** ==
''The printed pages do not have anything on them.''
=== ***Faulty Ink Cartridges*** ===
The following can be related to printing problems:
==== ***Low or Empty Ink Cartridge(s)*** ====
* To make sure there is ink in the printer, press the ink icon (looks like a water droplet) on the control panel (on the touchscreen) to show the estimated ink levels. If the black or tri-color cartridge is low, refer to this [link|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-B_OdflEYs|YouTube video|new_window=true] to replace the low or empty cartridge(s). If the problem continues, move on to the next possible cause.
==== ***Wrong Ink Cartridge Brand*** ====
* If you are not using genuine HP ink cartridges, the printer can encounter a compatibility problem with the cartridge(s). Replace the cartridges with HP cartridges to see if the problem continues. For instructions on replacing ink cartridges, refer to this [link|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-B_OdflEYs|YouTube video|new_window=true].
==== ***Clogged Ink Cartridge*** ====
* If you are using HP ink cartridges and the ink levels are not low, then there may be some dry ink on the ink outlet on the cartridge. Ink can dry up and clog the ink cartridge outlet if the printer is not used at least once a week. This can also happen if the printer is not turned off when it is not being used.
* The clogged cartridge can cause the printed page to show missing color(s) or nothing at all. For instructions on removing dry ink found on the outlet of the ink cartridge, refer to [link|http://smallbusiness.chron.com/manually-clean-clogged-ink-cartridges-63631.html|this website|new_window=true].
