Question : HP PSC 2110 won't print - just blank page

HP PSC 2110 scans fine, prints test page and diagnostics page fine, and will "copy" fine.  Will not print from any application.  It spools without error, prepares to print, loads the paper and sounds like it will print, but then it just feeds a blank sheet of paper through and stops.  No errors reported.

Printer is connected to a Dell Vostro 220 minitower running XP Pro SP3.  Not sure when this started because I had not printed in some time to the printer, so can't tell you what OS updates or apps were installed since it was known working.  Programs that were installed in the last 2 months:  Acrobat Pro and various disk utilities (Image for Windows, BuilderPE, etc.)

I have done the following:
Reinstalled the PSC 2110 drivers (4/30/04) - rw2_021_w02_enu.exe
Reset all settings to factory.

Any ideas?

Answer : HP PSC 2110 won't print - just blank page

First, try installing the available updates from HP for this printer: (You may have already done this.)

These most likely won't resolve the blank page issue, though.  If they don't, try turning off the Data Execution Prevention option in Windows.  This has been known to cause issues with some of these older printer drivers.  Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings -> Data Execution Prevention.  Set it to 'Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only.  You may have to reboot.

If this does not work, you may need to use a different driver.  Look to see if there are any newer (possibly something like an HP Universal driver) that will work with this printer.  Your driver was written in 2004 (and appears to be the latest available meaning that HP probably doesn't support the device anymore) and may not be written properly to work with the most recent Windows security updates.
