Printer printing blank pages

Regarding the first question, "is the issue with printing the blank pages confined to any specific document/webpages?"

When I thought about that, I realized the printer quit working at least twice as I was trying to print a PDF document from a cruise line regarding a trip. I downloaded it to my desktop and was printing from there. The printer stopped working and started
shooting out blank pages with that document. However, I WAS able to print one sheet front and back from that document before the "shooting of blank pages" started. So this morning, considering your question, I've been printing something else and so far,
it's been working. I was able to print out 3 sheets from my PC.

On the second question, yes, I was able to print from my iPad. I don't really have any documents on there, so I just printed one email.

On No. 3, I don't recall making any hardware/software changes on my device prior to this issue.

I'm not confident yet that it's working, but optimistic!

 

Printer printing blank pages.

I've just connected my HP deskjet 2540 printer to my new laptop with Windows 10.

I have successfully printed off documents downloaded from internet but I can't print off word documents? The printer appears to accept something to print, but prints off blank pages? I've used HP printer assistant, installed all updates and everything checks
out as working properly.

Has anyone any ideas what I can do to fix the problem? Thanks..
