Suppressing printing of blank page

Dear all,
My report consists of 3 distinct sub reports. The first two sub reports should be printed as portrait on A-4 sheet while the third one should be printed as landscape A-4 . I have put the first two sub reports layout in the main section with orientation as portrait while the third one is placed in trailer section with orientation as landscape. The printing of subreports 2 and 3 is conditional. There may be case when first two sub reports get printed while we do not have third report as there is no data in the database for the same. In this case , I am still getting a blank page corresponding to the third sub report in the final report. How do I suppress this?
Regards,
Ranjit

Hey dareys,
Per PCWIZARD's suggestion in another thread,
It may be the printer's power supply is dropping the power to the printer when it is off. You can reset the power supply by unplugging it from both the wall and the printer for 5 minutes.

Hi Dominic,
Thank you for the link. The problem that I have is when the job specification last page prints on the front of the page, and the next job specification prints on the back of that page. There is no way I can control what page it is going to print on. This is depending on how much description the user puts in. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
I do have another issue too, and you maybe able to help me with this. Below is a list of form fields on my template. When the job specification is printed on more than one page, I could not get the fk_job_title to print on the continuous pages. Is there a way I can code this fk_job_title to print on all of it's continuos page? I have tried many different ways but could not get it to print. I also posted this in the forum, but didn't get any respond.

My HP LaserJet 1018 has started printing only blank pages.

My HP LaserJet 1018 has started printing only blank pages.
Help?
Using Windows XP (Home Version)
Product # CB419A

Could be a number of issues. First could be a bad or not connecting transfer rollers which moves the toner from the drum to the paper. Only way to test is a half test by putting paper on the manual tray and printing a self test. When the back edge enters the printer, open the toner door to stop printing. Remove the toner and flip back the cover over the toner drum to see if there is any image on the drum. If image is present then it could be transfer roller issues. Use the service manual and look under engine diagnostics in the index and it will direct you to a page that shows how to perform an engine test. Do the test to see if you get a sheet of paper with lines on it. If you get lines, then the issue could be the formatter. If no lines and the shutter has been removed then I would think you are having high voltage issues. You may have to bring the printer in for service.

HP L7680 printing extra blank pages

I had repeated issues with LHP 7680 printing extra blank pages. Tried the "new driver" fix and that didn't work. Found the fix: Go to Start, Control Panel, Printers and Faxes, RIGHT CLICK the L7680 Printer, click on Properties, click on Advanced tab. "Spool print documents...." is selected. Change the selection to PRINT DIRECTLY TO PRINTER. Tested and resolved the issue when printing Word and Excel docs

Try this...
1. Go to the Printers folder and right click on the printer icon, then select ‘Run as Administrator’, and select ‘Properties’.
2. Click on the ‘Advanced’ tab, and click on the ‘New Driver’ button.
3. When you have to select the printer driver, select the ‘Have Disk’ button and point it to the installation CD or the ‘7zSxxx’ folder and install it from here. Or you can look under the ‘Manufacturers’ list and select ‘Hewlett-Packard’ instead of ‘HP’, and then select the appropriate printer driver.
4. Complete the wizard, then apply the settings by pressing the ‘Apply’ button. Try printing again, and the issue should not reoccur.
Also, are you using Windows Vista?

Hello Burnhug 54,
Thanks for the post. With this one, I've included a document below that should assist with this one. It was some very good basic t-shooting tips. If after going through these steps, you are still getting blank pages, then be sure to check your driver from control panel and from one of your applications. Ensure that it is indeed the PSC2115. Good Luck!

HP c4280 printing out blank pages

No matter whether it is color or black, it prints completely blank pages. It sounds like it is doing the print job, but comes out blank. This printer has not been used in 3 or 4 months, but I know the cartridges have ink in them. Is it possible that I need fresh cartridges or could this be caused by something else?
Thanks

I forgot to add that im using windows vista home basic and this is the first time using the printer on this computer. I did install the drivers though.

Thank you for your kind consideration of my problem. Up until the software started to print blank pages the preview pane always showed the selected print within the selected layout. Something has changed. Lightroom will print to the JPEG file but only a blank page on the Epson 2880. I've been in contact with Epson support and an IT tech and they tell me the problem is with Lightroom. I'm at my wits end and thinking of upgrading but the glitch may carry over. Uninstalling and reinstalling and deleting the preferences file did nothing to rectify the situation.
Thanks again!

Officejet 6500 prints 1 blank page from pdf files and nothing else

We just installed this printer. It prints from websites, word, quickbooks just fine. It also successfully copies and faxes. When we try to print from a adobe pdf attachment it prints one blank page and that is all. This also happens when we try to print from googledocs.
Thanks!

HP 6510 printing only blank pages after changing print cartridges

Hi,
My HP 6510 is printing only blank pages after I installed new print ink cartridges. I tried cleaning the print heads, aligning the printer... which did result in some pages printing with a little color (but it seemed "off" to me). That said, when I try to print a regular document from my PC it only prints a blank page.
I can't seem to figure this one out on my own - please help!
Thanks!
Chloe

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6510. Be sure the cartridges are vented as shown in solution two.
Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.

Photosmart All in one C4780 Printer prints only blank pages, connected to a MacBook Pro

My Photosmart C4780 all in one printer which is connected by USB to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 prints only blank pages, and no text; I have turned it on and off; disconnected and reconnected; uninstalled the HP software and reloaded and updated drivers, firmware and patches. The scan function works and scans the document to my Mac. The copy function also does not work; when I press the OK function next to the copy icon, nothing happens

Make sure the printer is connected directly to wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or
software issue. Click Here.
I have included a document for not being able to print in black.
Here is a document for the copy function not working.
If you require further assistance please provide the following so I can assist you better.
Did the configuration page print?
Any black print on the page?
What are the ink levels?
Are you getting a error when trying to copy?

HP 6310 started printing 2nd blank page

Hello,
After a year or two of use, my printer ALWAYS prints a second blank page after the document is printed. Paper jams are also getting more common. Is there a "fix" or is there somewhere I can get a repair done if needed.
Thanks,
Tom Allen

Hello there @sirknite ,
I read your post about your printing out blank pages from your Windows 8 system however, this issue does not occur on another PC. In the details you have mentioned, it seems to be an issue with the software on your Windows 8 system, as the other computer does not have a problem. To test this theory, try printing from another program to see if blank pages will still print out. This way, we will know if the problem is originating in one specific program, or in the printer driver.
Skipping ahead a little bit, try running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
Try printing again, and if any blank pages still print out, try Uninstalling the Printer Software, restarting the computer completely, and download and reinstall the printer here: HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers
Please write me back with your findings and all of the results from your troubleshooting. Include which programs you have tested out and any other helpful information you may have came across.
Happy New Year!

Printing Limitations - Blank Pages

Hello
Hopefully someone can help me with this problem.
The SED document is send to my email, it downloaded fine. When it comes to print out, there is no text or pictures - the printer sends out blank sheets.
When I try to print out again, a message box springs up and tells me I can only print out 2 pages. No more no less. When I try again, the print icon turns 'grey' and I'm no longer able to print anything out at all in my document.
This has happened to me twice today - if there's a solution, great. If there isn't, then I'm resolved to emailing the provider and asking them to re-send my documents. I'm curious as to why this should happen and hope it won't become a regular occurrence.
Many thanks in advance!

Double sided printing, adding blank page after two different groups

Post Author: adepper
CA Forum: General
I have created a report that is structured as such:
Group 1 - Based on formula, groups by type
Group 2 - Based on formula, groups by use
Group 3 - use (pulled directly from Database)
Group 4 - ID
I have the report printing an extra page after group 3. I used this formula in the Section Expert - New Page After
remainder(pagenumber,2)=0
I also use that formula to reset the page number
What I would like to do is print a second blank page if group 2 does not start on the top of the page, meaning I do not want either group 3 or group 2 to start on the back of a page, so that this report can be placed in a binder, with dividers.
I have group 3 giving me a blank page with no issues, it is just group 2.
Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated. If I did not give enough details, I am sorry.
Thanks!

After a lot of blood, sweat and tears, not to mention a lot of curse words directed at the computer, I was able to get this to work. Now I just have to do it for three groupings instead of two (deliver the impossible to your bosses, and they turn around and move the brass ring right out of reach again!)
In case anyone is interested in how I was able to manage this (I found many sites where people asked this question, but not one complete answer), this is what I did:
In the footer section:
Group 4 - ID (database field)
Group 3 - PrimeUse (database field)
    3a - Contains data
    3b - Contains data
    3c - New Page After, Keep Together, and Reset Page Number After are all checked. In the condition for Reset Page Number After I also have this formula:
    remainder(pagenumber,2)=0
    3d - New Page After, Keep Together, and Reset Page Number After are all checked. In the condition for New Page After I have this formula:
    remainder(pagenumber,2)=0
Group 2 - Suppressed
Group 1 - Grouped by Store Type -
    1a - Suppressed, New Page After and Keep Together are all checked.
    1b - New Page After and Keep Together are checked. In the condition for New Page After I have to following formula:
    remainder(totalpagecount,2)=1
If anyone sees any errors, or if you think you can get it so that I get another page blank, after Group 1, if the Group starts on an even numbered page, I would appreciate the help.
Thanks!
