Trouble printing with HP Officejet 6000 E609n. Documents print out as blank pages.

I'm using an HP Officejet 6000 E609n with a Macbook Pro (OSX 10.5.8). I'm only using a black ink cartridge (HP 920XL) and some documents will print and others print out as blank pages. I've gotten a PDF to print from Preview, but not from Adobe Reader (same document!). Also, some Word documents print and others come out as blank pages. Please help!

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hi,


In System Preferences>Fax & Print, Right click or Control+click on the Printers list Sidebar, choose Reset Printing System.

if you hold option and click the "-" tab it resets the printing system.

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.


Any devices that previously appeared in your Printer List and Fax List will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.
