Welcome to the HP Support Community
I understand you are facing a print quality issue with your Print Quality issue HP Smart Tank printer 7000 Magenta not printing Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.
To assist better:
- Are you using genuine HP ink cartridges?
- Does the copy print out the same way?
- What's the application you are trying to print from?
- Have you tried printing from a different application or device?
While you respond to that, let's print a Print Quality Diagnostic page -Post the Print Quality Diagnostic page here so we can help you further.
Let's perform a power drain:
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Remove the USB cable, if present.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
- Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
- Turn on the printer and wait till the warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle

- Check your ink or toner levels: Make sure that your printer has enough ink or toner to print the document. If you're running low, replace the cartridges as needed.
- Verify the document content: Open the Word document and make sure that there is actual content in it. Sometimes, a blank page might be the result of an empty or corrupted document.
- Page setup and margins: Check your document's page setup and margins to ensure they are properly configured. Incorrect margins or page settings can sometimes lead to blank pages.
- Printer settings in Word: Open your Word document and go to the "File" menu, then select "Print." In the Print dialog, make sure that the correct printer (HP Deskjet 3520 ) is selected. Also, check for any unusual print settings that might be causing the issue.
- Update or reinstall printer drivers: Outdated or corrupt printer drivers can sometimes cause printing problems. Visit the HP website to download and install the latest printer drivers for your HP Deskjet 3520.
- Restart your computer and printer: Sometimes, issues can be resolved by simply restarting both your computer and the printer. Turn off both devices, wait a few seconds, and then turn them back on.
- Try a different program: To determine if the issue is specific to Microsoft Word, try printing from a different application, such as Notepad or a web browser. This can help you determine if the problem is with Word or the printer.
- Print a different document: Create a new Word document with a simple text and try to print it. This will help you determine if the issue is specific to the original document.
- Check for software updates: Ensure that your operating system, Microsoft Word, and the printer software are up to date. Sometimes, software updates can fix compatibility issues.
- Print a test page from the printer itself: Most printers have a built-in self-test or diagnostic page feature. Refer to your printer's manual to print a test page directly from the printer. This can help you confirm if the printer is functioning correctly.
