PDFs print blank page with URL on top

Whenever I try to print a PDF from within Safari XP 4.0.4, I get a blank page with just the URL on the top line and page 1 of 1 on the bottom. I don't know if it's different when I click the printer icon or go to file/print. Help?

Just doublechecking. Are other PDFs currently printing properly for you, George? (Say, if you're printing them directly from your Reader as opposed to printing them through Safari's Adobe PDF plugin?)

Printing blank pages with an HP? I found a solution.

I have an hp Officejet 6110. I upgraded to Tiger and found that when printing a web page my printer would eject 3 blank pages and then print the document. A call to AppleCare did not solve the problem. Extensively searching on hp's website I found a solution entitled "HP PSC and Officejet All-in-One Products - Mac OS: Blank Pages When Printing From the Internet.
Issue
When printing from the internet, nothing prints or the pages are blank in Macintosh OS 10.4.x with driver version 7.4.0 and higher.
This information applies to the following products:
HP Officejet 6110, 6110v, and 6110xi
HP PSC 2210, 2210v, and 2210xi
Solution one - save as a pdf then print the file.
Solution two - change paper size to A4.
I changed the paper size from US Letter to A4 and no more blank pages.
Hope this helps anyone with the same problem. I was frustrated for months!

Since upgrade to Firefox 29, PDFs print blank pages (Win7Pro/Brother HL5240) - how do I fix this bug?

I think this is the same problem that others have but I have been unable to get a fix to work. Wish I hadn't upgraded from 28.0

hello Road_runner, unfortunately this is currently a bug in the integrated firefox pdf viewer that is investigated by our developers and getting addressed. in the meantime you could use a third-party pdf plugin like from adobe that you can enable in the firefox ''options > applications'' - scroll down and define the default action for the '''portable document format (pdf)'''.

Hello Jasper2100,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
For the issue of your iMac OS X 10.9.2 printing blank pages from your Laserjet 4700dn, I would like you to review this Apple Forums post: HELP! hp laserjet prints code and infinite blank pages!
As well, I would suggest posting this in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can click here for the link.

I can't print web pages or emails. All I get is a blank page with nothing but the headed tag at top.

I can't print my emails. Tried to get help from my email provider. They asked if I could print pages. I tried and found out that didn't work either. All I get is a blank page with the header tag at the top.

Hi,
Please see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages this]. If the web page has a Print button/icon you can try to use that. You can also try right-clicking on the relevant section of the page > '''This Frame''' > '''Print Frame'''.

Interactive PDF with buttons printing blank pages

Hi
I am creating interactive pdf's using indesign cs6 on MAC which have buttons that show and hide other buttons when clicked, i have checked printable for all of the buttons as i want the buttons to be visable when printed.
When i export it everything is fine and all works well and when i print the document from the MAC it prints fine but when i come to print it from the PC it prints blank pages. This is a issue as these documents will be printed from a PC, I have tried different PC's to see if it was mine that wasnt working but the result is the same, printing blanks.
Is there any way to overcome this problem?
Best Regards
Rob

On the Mac go to File>Export and choose pdf like you normally do.
With the pdf settings that work make sure you click the "Save Preset" button.
Exit out of the PDF export dialog box and go to
File>PDF Presets
And Define them
From here select your Preset that you just saved and Save it to the hard drive.
Load this PDF Preset into the PC settings.

When downloading a pdf, the print command show a document in the preview but only prints blank pages

When downloading a pdf and using the print command, it shows the correct document in the preview but only prints blank pages. If I use the save command and try to open with Acrobat 11.0.07, it says it wasn't correctly decoded and can't open it. If I do the same thing on my old Macbook (10.6.8) all works fine from the same website with the same document. Any ideas?

This article maybe help to you, change pdf file type to other application like adobe reader, See:

All of a sudden I can't print anything on my macbook. I am directly connected to a printer where i had printed before now if I hit print it just gives me blank pages with websites header? any ideas what went wrong?

I just started having issues printing with my macbook when before I had no problem. same printer, nothing has changed. when I try to print it just prints me blank pages with internet headers even WHEN i am not printing off the internet, simply pdf documents. any idea what I am doing wrong or what changed?

Hi evelia,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first thing I would suggest is to shut down your computer and turn off your printer. Then do the reverse -- turn the printer on first, then your computer. If the issue still persists:
Check to make sure there are no jobs waiting to be printed. (Apple Menu > System Preferences > Printers & Scanners)

If all else fails, reset the printing system and install the printer again:

HP LaserJet 4200 Printer outputting blank page (with creases) before printing

HP LaserJet 4200 Printer
Keeps outputting a blank page, with creases in the paper (about the middle of page), before it prints the intended page.
This happens at random, but quite often. We have been using this printer for years without any issues. This has been happening for about the last few weeks.

Hi have the same problem with my HP LJ4200.
The problem is intermitent , blank page with with creases before the document
Have you found a solution ?
thanks !

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.

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

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.

Printing blank pages - even with new genuine HP cartridges

All of a sudden, my 6700 has started printing blank pages, even the copier runs blanks - after replacing cartridges with new HP cartridges.
I ran all the diagnostics, printer says its fine, printhead was cleaned, and still printing blanks.
Printer's out of warranty, what should I do? I just bought a ton of cartridges for this....!
Help!!

Appleworks only prints blank pages ( whether printer, PDF or Preview)

I am at the end of my rope.
Since updating to 10.4.7, none of my Appleworks database pages work properly. The one that has customer’s special orders in it prints, previews and pdfs only blank pages.
The Appleworks database we use to place vendor orders will only print from preview. No direct-to-printer or pdfs will work.
Both databases reside on the a MacBook Pro in the front of the store. From that location:
1. Won’t print anything but blank pages
2. Won’t preview anything but blank pages
3. Won’t PDF anything but blank pages
I transferred the database to the G4 PowerBook in the back office. Same story, in all cases. It is also running 10.4.7.
We are using Appleworks 6.2.9...the same version we’ve used since its release.
I’ve trashed both the prefs and the p.list. Still nothing.
Our customer and vendor files are critical to operation of the business...we simply have to get them out. HELP!

Hello paperqueen,
In the first place-
Can you print a newly created WP document of AW6 in problem machines under OSX10.4.7?
Can you print a newly created DB document of AW6 in problem machines under OSX10.4.7?
The common factors in the two machines are not limited to OSX10.4.7.
* Problem DB is in common.
* User account problem may be in common. (e.g. certain customization in common)
So it is really an important test to create a new user account and check whether problem persists in the new user account. I repeat this because you seem not have done it in spite of Yvan's suggestion.
Also if the problems have occured since 10.4.7 update, re-applying Combo 10.4.7 updater (after repairing permissions) may clear things up.
Anyway, if you're using any input method, the following thread may be relevant:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=455765&tstart=0
Also it has been reported in Japanese Apple Discussions board that OSX10.4.7 introduced new problem in printing, that is if file name contains Japanese character, print to PostScript printer should fail. (PostScript error should occur)
So, if your file name contains, e.g. non-ASCII character, this might be relevant.
Good luck,
H
