Dell 922 AIO prints blank pages

[Nathan Gutman]

I have an almost new Dell 922 printer which has not been used for some time.
When I try to print it goes through the motion showing that cartridges
have ink and showing the progress bar but it ejects a blank page.
It ejects a blank page also when when using just the "Copy" function.
It seems that no ink is getting onto the paper.
How do I fix that?
Thanks,

The printer's heads are likely clogged with dried ink.

Dell inkjet printers are usually Lexmark products, which have heads
incorporated into the ink cartridges.

My suggestion would be to remove the cartridges, and "blot" them, with
the heads toward the surface of some paper towels dampened with
ammoniated window cleaner, if you have some. (If not, try warm water).
Gently push that head surface into the toweling and then letting go,
repeat... You can also leave it a while to dissolve the ink.

If that doesn't work, and assume the ink hasn't fully run or dried out,
you may have an air bubble in the head. You may be able to remedy this
by placing the cartridge in an old sock that you don;t care to stain,
and with the head portion in the toe tip, swing the sock around to try
to force the ink to go toward the head.

Then try the blotting again. Some ink should start to show up on the
paper toweling. Then reinstall.

You have a Lexmark. My suggestion is to get a Canon
