G4210 Printer - Printing Blanks

I recently purchased the G4210 to handle all my wedding seating cards, set it up with what I thought was no problem - but it prints blanks! No error message, runs the paper thru, etc. Anyone else have this issue? HELP!

Hi dlenam,

I recommend performing a nozzle check first. Please click HERE for the steps to print the nozzle check. Once the nozzle check prints, please click the link in step 6 to compare you nozzle check.

If the nozzle check from your G4210 does not look like the sample nozzle check, please click HERE for the steps to perform a nozzle cleaning.

If the nozzle check prints correctly, please try to make a copy directly from the printer. This will help narrow down if there is a hardware or software issue.

We look forward to your reply.

I performed the Nozzle Check and the paper came through blank. Same problem.

Hi dlenam,

I recommend performing a deep nozzle cleaning. Please click HERE for the steps.

Just in case this might help someone. I have tried numerous troubleshooting efforts on my Canon G4210 this weekend. I use a mac laptop so here's a run down of what I have tried with no results.

I tried resetting my mac's printing system. Didn't help. I tried resetting my router. Didn't help. I tried using the disk utility first aid. Didn't help. I tried calling Canon. No answer, but I'll try again tomorrow. I tried using the copy mode to scan a document to see if it would print. Didn't help. I tried printing from my other mac. Didn't help. I'm a senior / not tech savvy but I did everything I could think of and nothing has helped me. I did do a nozzle check and it came out perfectly. But nothing else prints on the paper. Just spits out blanks.
