Is your Epson printer printing blank pages even though it has ink and seems to be working fine? This common issue can be perplexing, especially if my Epson printer is printing blank pages unexpectedly during crucial tasks. Thankfully, there are a few troubleshooting steps that can help resolve this problem. In this guide, We will talk about 2 different methods which you can use to tackle the situation.
Method 1
Step 1– Check the color level of the printer first. The amount of color left can be a reason for the Epson printer printing blank pages. If more than half of the color is left in each of the ink cartridges then the issue might be different.
Step 2– Open the cover of the color box where all the ink cartridges are seated.
Step 3– Remove the caps of the color boxes.
Step 4– Press and hold the button shown in the image. Keep holding it until the lights of the power button start flashing.
Step 5– The printer will start auto-cleaning. You will be able to hear noise during the process. Keep everything as it is till the blinking of the power button stops. The issue of the Epson printer printing blank pages will be fixed after the cleaning is done.
Step 6– Lock all the color caps.
Step 7– Close the cover of the ink cartridges and then print a page to test. If still Epson prints blank pages then you should try the second method below.
