Printing in Word, only blank pages come out. Okay from other prog.

[carsnathanbirds]

Using an HP Deskjet 820se printer with Microsoft Word 2003 and Microsoft
Windows xp, I can no longer print documents from Word. Can print Web Screens,
from email accounts such as Yahoo, Mapquest, etc..., but when I try to print
any Word document, the pages all come out blank. What might be causing this?
Ink is low, but again, I get decent quality in other programs, but nothing at
all from Word. Not streaks even. Just blank pages. Printer is properly set as
the default printer.

Using Windows Vista?

Try changing the Font color for the text from Automatic to Black and see if
that makes a difference. When Automatic is used, it's actually a blend of
colors and not black ink.

If you now get your content to print then you need to head to your favorite
supply store for ink. ;-)
