“I am trying to get a printer purchased about 5 years ago to print (I've never had to use it because I used the office printer), and nothing seems to be working. It acts like it is printing and shoots out a blank page. Does the ink go bad?”

I've read that ink for jet ink printers has a two year avg shelf life if kept sealed in their original packaging. HP stamps an expiration date on the exterior of their outer packaging. I found this on Google: "Over time, ink dries out and settles inside the cartridge, which can cause your printer to clog." Try printing a test/alignment page, but I suspect you need to change your print cartridge(s).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes ink can dry up. Try some new cartridges
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Most likely the ink has expired, or dried out. A new set of ink should fix the issue.
