mf 632 cdw printing blank pages

hello, 

 

I recently bought a mf632 color laser printer. The device prints fine out of word. However, when I print  out of a pdf it just spits out blank pages. I have gone into the advance function and the print preview the image looks fine like it should print. I am running out of idea to try and get things printed. I have reloaded the driver several times and I am printing directly with a usb as of now.

Hi!

I am experiencing a somewhats similar issue - I use the same printer (MF632CDW) for a long time with no issues. 

As of yesterday, it doesn't print anything. No error is displayed on the ptiner itself, but all prints are blank. Doesn't matter if it's a PDF, a photo or a DOC - all are printed blank. 

I uninstalled the driver I has and reinstalled a new one (MF634Cdw/MF632Cdw MFDrivers (Generic Plus UFR II / Generic FAX / ScanGear)) - with no luck. Still blank pages. 

 

Any idea what should I do next?

 

Thanks,

Leo

Hello Leo, 

If all prints are blank, it would usually point to a communication issue or there is a problem with the hardware. You can try a black and white copy and a color copy to see if you have the same problem. If you do, you can try reloading the toner and checking the toner for any packing material that is still attached using the steps in the link HERE. If that does not resolve the issue, it does look like the printer needs service. 

If the copies work, you can try turning off any security that could get in the way of communication adn you can try reinstalling the drivers again. If the problem continues, I would suggest contacting support at 1-800-652-2666 for assistance in checking what is causing the printing issue. You can also contact support to see what service options are available for your printer.
