Printer feeds paper through, sounds like it is printing, but it is a blank page. Print nozzles are fine. No error msg. I unplugged it and plugged it in again.

windows 7 . Laptop computer HPG60-630us notebook. Printer and computer are 6 yrs. old

I put all new compatible ink jets in December. I don't print that often, but it has been printing.

Did the print nozzle test and printed that out fine. No discolorations or separations, etc on the paper

I went to printer properties , test print (no test print page came out; ) trouble shoot; next; select printer-canon pixma mp530 was already checked. It then said troubleshoot cannot detect problem.

It copies fine.

In the past, after I clicked on print, I would always get a little pop up window with a picture of the printer and asking me to ok to continue, etc. I'k click ok and then it would print. Now after I click on print, I don't get that little pop up window. It just goes into sounding like it is printing and feeding the paper out blank. Is there anything else I should check in print properties? When I googled this problem, they talked about print drivers. When I clicked on one of these sistes, Norton, said it was a bad site.

Hello.

Try printing a new nozzle check pattern and see if the black grid pattern appears above the color bars. Does the test pattern print correctly?
