Please help.

I have a 4-year old HP Color Laserjet 4500N w/32MB and less than 25k pages of usage. It now prints blank pages when I send it regular pages to print - a symptom that first arose back in May.


After experiencing this problem in the spring, I pulled the plug on the printer and have not fired it up until last night. Well, of course, after a 6-month vacation, the printer was printing marvelously last night. Color pages looked great! Text was crisp and clean. It acted like it never left!

Well, this morning [yeah, the morning after!], it's printing blank pages again - ad infinitum - even on 1 page jobs.

Please help. I'm running OS X 10.2.6 and have successfully pinged the printer across my network and sent it jobs via its assigned ip address; it still prints blanks but at least, it does receive the instructions via the printer's installed jet direct card.

Thanks in advance.
