If one of your cartridges is expended, you should replace it with a new one. Otherwise, you may encounter the printing blank pages issue.

Not only that it keep the ink from leaking, but it actually protects the print nozzles of sensitive ink cartridges. But you should be careful with the additional transparent plastic or a pointed mechanism, do not remove it or your cartridge will leak or malfunction.

Before you start, make sure the printer’s LCD screen isn’t showing any errors, then follow the below steps:

2. SelectPrinthead Nozzle Check .
3. Your printer will start checking by produce a page with four colored grids designed to illustrate which nozzles are blocked.
