How to suppress printing blank pages?

Hi all,
I work with reports 6i and I need a tip.
I have to build a report with two sections (main and trailer section).The main section is always filled with data, but the trailer section does not always receive data.
When I print the report without data in the trailer section there is a blank last page. How can I suppress printing the trailer section when there is no data in it.
Thank you for your help.
Thomas

Hello,
You can test to use the parameter : BLANKPAGES

How to suppress printing of pages with no data

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
P.S. I am using Reports 6i

Printing blank pages, how do I fix

My printer prints, but it printing blank pages, how do I fix?

You could try deleting the book and re-downloading it and see if it's then complete. If it's still missing pages then you could use the 'report a problem' link : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

How can I set my printer to stop printing blank pages?

It started at 3.6.10 update in FF. Now, printing blank pages. About:config does not show with a list of preferences. I can't find any preferences. Using XP

Lowercase '''a''' = '''about:config'''
Try a '''''reset''''' of all preferences for that printer as described here: <br />

REPORT SERVER 6i Patch1 PRINTING BLANK PAGES

I have a problem that is occouring on three different report servers. It will start printing blank pages instead of the report and the only way to get it back to normal is to stop and reastart the service. I get this on a version 6, version 6i and version 6i patch1 report servers. It makes no difference what call method I use (command line or OCX control). I can also force this behavior on one of the servers by selecting a HP 895C as the default printer in the windows printers and then starting the service. All pages print blank after that. At the customers site it appears to be random as to when it will start printing the blank pages.
Any ideas on what the fix is for this?

Is there any ideas on this?
We have a Reports 6i server up and running and I'm getting stuff out OK to postscript printers, but some HP older printers are just spitting out blank pages. Is there a desformat= that I need to set differently? I've tried most of the options ( dec, psport, psland, hpl... all blank )
Appreciate any help, I haven't used this stuff long, so am quite naive about how it hangs together.

How to not print a page of a report under a condition

Hi,
I need to build a report with a specific layoutdepending on a user paramater.
Ex:
If parameter value is 1, then display the layout of the first page of the report
If parameter value is p_layout2, then display the layout of the second page of the report
If parameter value is p_layout3, then display the layout of the third page of the report
If parameter value is p_layout4, then display the layout of the fourth page of the report
So I built a report, putting on page 1 the first layout, page 2 the second etc.
I put each layout into a frame, with FormatTrigger as of: IF :paramater IS 'p_layoutx' THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE.
The output prints only the frame needed (the one attached to the value passed by the parameter) BUT prints blank pages for all others (the 3 remaining ones).
So, how would I do to make the report NOT to print these blank pages, having only one page printing, the one that matches the condition?
Thank you in advance.

I found a way to achieve my goal: Instead of creating a frame with formattrigger for each of my layouts and inserting in it all my objects (text fields and graphics), I don't create any frame, put all my objects on the desired pages and put the formattrigger conditions on these objects with vertical elasticity for all of them. When not the condition is not met, then all objects are shrinked. It is weird that the behavior is not the same with a frame (the frame with vertical elasticity should "shrink" itself; or maybe I missed something).

Firefox will show PDF's but prints blank pages. Other browsers are fine, safe mode has no effect.

Currently on an HP laptop, Win8, printing to a HP Color Laser, no previous problems; all of a sudden, PDF's are printing blank pages. I can see the page fine. Safe mode without any addons has no change. I printed my taxes out and had no problems.
I've used IE (shudder) an been able to print PDF's fine. I have no PDF software itself on the computer, just using the browsers native support. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. Searching shows problems loading PDF's, but my problem is printing PDF's. Using version 29 of Firefox. Anyone got any tips or clues how to hunt this down? Really close to introducing my computer to Mr. sledgehammer.

Thanks, appreciate the links for PDF driver add ons, this will be my last resort if nobody else can figure it out. I don't use Acrobat because of all their bloatware and hidden installs. I still would like to know why Firefox started printing blank pages in PDF's, but can still open the PDF's, very frustrating. Seems like a few other people are having the issue as well.

Pixma was working just fine until I replaced 3 of the ink cartidges. Now it only prints blank pages

Pixma was working just fine until I replaced 3 of the ink cartidges. Now it only prints blank pages. It does the same thing from my computer as from the printer itself. Also passes the device maintenance tests, including all the colors and the alignment. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

HP Deskjet F2480 All-in-One prints BLANK PAGES

Dear All, I have a serious issue with my HP Deskjet F2480 All-in-One Colour Ink-jet - Printer / copier / scanner.The thing is that it prints BLANK PAGES. I tried everything from the manualHP Deskjet F2400 All-in-One series:
"Print troubleshootingTry the following solutions to resolve the issue. Solutions are listed in order, with the mostlikely solution first. If the first solution does not solve the problem, continue trying theremaining solutions until the issue is resolved.• Check cartridges• Check paper• Check product• Check printer settings• Reset the product" IT DIDN'T WORK! The printer is still printing BLANK PAGES. The ink level is sufficient to print a page - the HP Solution Centerapplication says that 'the actual ink levels may vary' but it shows a tick-mark, which means that everythingshould work. However it still start the process of printing (blank) and blows the page again - blank page. HELP? HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? janviv1

HP Color LaserJet CP3525n keeps printing blank pages without stopping

Hi, I'm having trouble with this printer, it keeps printing blank pages one after anotther as soon as it is turned on. Some pages are completely blank others have smiley faces and other characters on it. And it keeps doing this even after it has been restarted. Any idea how to fix this problem?

1. take out all of the ink cartriges and look at the big black roller on the door for streaking, if streaking, clean with a lint free cloth dampened with windex (window cleaner) then close the door.
2. let it run to initializing.
3. open the door and look and the black roller on the door to see if you have streaking. If no streaking put one cartridge in and close the door and repeat the steps until you find what cartridge is causing the problem.
I did this and found that my cyan was creating the lines on my paper. I cleaned the cyan roller with a Qtip and some rubbing alcohol and it works fine now, no more lines on the paper.
Cheers

Did recent recommended update cause incompatibility with HP printer, causing error message and printer to print blank pages?

Why not contact HP tech support for assistance since they make the printer. While on their site you can look for an updated printer driver. Otherwise, try deleting the current installed driver, reset the print system, then reinstall your printer's driver.
