printer prints black pages with white text

After updating to macOS Sonoma 14.0 my iMac (2019) started to print black pages with white text now and again. Only the outlines of the letters are "printed" in white. Otherwise everything in the printable area of the pages is black.

How do I get rid of this problem?

Pages go blank when printing from safari I've been dealing with "some" glitches when printing since latest update. When I press the print option the printer page comes up but the page is there and then "poof" its gone both on the prescreen and the background page. Printer option screen shows a white page with no printing and actual site page turns black. Now this doesn't happen for all of them so I am confused as to why it works for some and not for others. Even when I try to open in preview it shows blank. Im running on a MacBook Pro Version 17.0 Anyone have ideas? I've updated my printer, reset my printer but I don't think its the printer issue.

Printerproblem after upgrading to Ventura A strange problem occurred when I installed Ventura on my Imac. My printer, a Canon 6230, refuses to print PDFs and documents like Pages, but it prints the same document if I take a screenshot off it. Does anyone have a clue? //a

Print Center will not find/recognize my Printer iMac running Sonoma 14.5 Printer is an HP OfficeJet Pro 8035 Print Center Version 1.0 (621.2) Just about every time I try to print a document, it will not print. When I open the print que in Print Center, I see the file waiting to be printed and the message "printer is offline." But it absolutely IS online—I can turn my head and see it, ready and raring to go. Sometimes the printer is asleep when this happens, but sometimes not. Sometimes I have JUST PRINTED something successfully. Yes, the printer shows in the list, is connected to the same wifi network, etc. etc. The gear icon in Print Center will happily show me details on the printer, and connect me to the Printer Web page (which shows the printer connected to wifi just fine!). The printer itself functions normally. This has been going on for months now. And it seems to be getting worse. It used to happen once or twice a week, now it is just about every time I try to print. So...any idea WHY Print Center cannot see that my printer is online?? How do I fix this?

Search the printer maker's website for a Sonoma compatible driver
