# **1. Common Reasons Why HP Envy 5530 Is Not Printing**

Before you jump into fixes, understanding what causes the issue helps you troubleshoot faster. Here are the most common causes:

### **1.1 Low, Empty, or Faulty Ink Cartridges**

If your ink levels are low or the cartridges are clogged, dried, or incompatible, printing fails or the printer outputs blank pages.

A small piece of torn paper stuck inside can stop printing altogether.

A stuck print job or a corrupted print spooler can prevent new jobs from printing.

Driver issues are the most common cause of printing failures on Windows and macOS.

Since HP Envy 5530 is primarily a wireless printer, weak Wi-Fi signals or misconfigured network settings can stop printing.
