Any computer printer experts- Printer is printing blank pages.
I bought a new printer. It is a samsung clp-315w wireless printer. It seems to be connected properly and the test pages print fine. If I try to print from my computer the pages are all blank???? Any ideas? I am using windows vista.

1. Have you tried "Print Preview" to be sure the computer is "seeing"
what you're printing.

Are the drivers, etc up to date?

Is the ink in upside down?

I was joking on that last one.

2. I just checked the preview- it is fine.
It is a new product so I am assuming the drivers are good.

3. CIA model. Rub lemon juice on the paper afterwards.

4. Get a mac.
Sorry for the smartass comment, but someone had to say it.

No clue as to what your problem is.

5. Turn the paper over
:P

Maybe try printing from different applications (Word, powerpoint, acrobat, or whatever) to see if the problem is universal or software specific?

6. Make sure that you ran the software, that came with the printer
on your computer. Also check to be sure that you have the proper and most up to date print drivers installed (you can go to the printer's website to find the latest ones)

7. Ah, I had a short between the chair & the keyboard.
In my defense the "manual" was written poorly. It only took me five hours to get it installed on the network.

8. If you're using black paper, it may be hard to see the printing
