Correct option is B: Print a test print from the printer's console

Explanation:

At first thought, a laser print that is printing blank pages would mean that the toner is exhausted and needs to be replaced. However, if after replacing the toner, and the problem of printing blank page continues, the first troubleshoot step to take is to be sure that the fault is not from the side of the receptionist by printing a test print from the console of the printer.
