My printer prints only blank pages

[Manlio Laschena]

I have an old HP laserjet mod. IIIP . It's a model no more supported
by HP.
Suddenly, few days ago, happened that when I select print command the
printer shows, in its control display, that is acquiring data but
produces only blank pages.
Randomly the first page is OK but followed by all blanks.
The same happen on test page. Some time it prints OK but more often
produce a blank page.

I have reinstalled the drivers so as controlled the port.
If I replace the printer everything is OK.
Cabling is ok, so as the status of printer connectors.

Some one has an idea ?

Thanks

I assume the ink isn't very low.

you assume correctly. The toner is OK.
When randomly the printer works correctly the page is printed with the
usual good definition.

Thanks for thinking about

What happens when you print the font list or test page from the printer
without going through the computer?

Just think of how much toner you're saving.

Sounds like an intermittent circuit failure --> the machine
is failing.
