    Try to print pdf page, word page and excel sheet.

    Could you record a video of the printing process and share the video here?

    Same problem is happened to my college printer, , while printing excel sheet gives blank page.

    I solved it by adjusting margin and rows and columns.

    Please type the word printer in the search on the taskbar and open the page.

    Do you see the printer listed? If you see the printer listed, click on the tab.

    Click on the printer.

    Then click on the run tab of the troubleshooter.

    While on this page you will what to click on the open queue button and then clear the queue.

    See if this fixed the problem.

    If you do not see the printer listed, then it has not been installed on the computer, and run follow the directions below. ***

    ___

    The drivers may have not been installed properly or are corrupted.

    Please type the word Device Manager in the search and click enter to open the page.

    Scroll down the page and click on the Printer folder. Not the Printer Queque folder.

    If you do not see the Printer file, then this indicates the printer drivers are not installed.***

    If you see the printer drivers, right-click and uninstall them.

    Then restart the computer.

    Click to see if the problem has been fixed.

    If you do not see the drivers, you will need to download the drivers again. I have attached a link to their driver support page below. Try using the setup and install.

    Try to use print test page in printer settings.

    Also remove usb cable and power cable from printer. Then press and hold the power button on printer for 120 seconds.

    Then release button on printer.

    Wait for 5 minutes'.

    All usb cables to printer, power cable to printer.

    Set default printer in device and printer and then try to print.

    Thank you for replying RAJU.MSC.MATHEMATICS,

    I understand your reasoning. However, it is not the issue only on pdf page, word page and excel sheet. When I try to print from Notepad and just a centered 1 sentence that is "world is Wonderful", it do not print that one too. I suppose there are no issue with margin for the centered text on notepad.

    Thank you for replying Cindy B007,
    I have already checked troubleshooter and already cleared queue multiple times.
    I have reinstalled drivers multiple times so there is no chance for corruption.
