There are numerous possible causes for a printer that's randomly producing blanks. The most common ones are empty ink cartridges, improper cartridge installation, and congested nozzles. Driver and software issues can sometimes cause this problem as well.

I just put new ink in it and it's oem Canon ink it printed when I put the ink in then it stopped working so I had to go into the software and re set it up but when I did it now prints blanks?

Hi onyx550,

Please make sure that the cellophane/orange tape has been removed from each of the ink tanks.

Next, please perform a few printhead cleanings:

1. Please swipe the HOME screen and then tap the wrench and screwdriver icon on your PIXMA MG7520

2. Tap Maintenance

3. Tap Cleaning

4. Tap Yes to clean the printhead

Once complete, please print a test page:

1. Swipe the HOME screen and then tap the wrench and screwdriver icon on your PIXMA MG7520

2. Tap Maintenance

3. Tap Print nozzle check pattern

4. Tap Yes

Please compare your printout with the example below.  If printing from your PIXMA MG7520 does not improve, your PIXMA MG7520 would require service.  You are eligible for Canon's Upgrade Program.
