Safari 4 for Window printing blank web pages

Hi
I've recently switch from IE to Safari 4 for Windows (using Windows 7) but I've noticed that when I try to print a web page I just get a blank page.
I don't have this problem with IE or Safari. No problem with the printer either which is HP LaserJet 1320.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
George

I have the same problem. I get a blank page printing on any of 5 different network printers at my work. Internet Explorer prints fine. My computer is an HP running windows 7. Our IT staff only supports IE so I can't ask them for help. I really want to use Safari to help Apple push the rest of the world to adopt to adopt HTML 5. The only way to do that is to use it, but I need to be able to print. Does anyone know how to fix this?
By the way, every time you use Safari, you are giving Apple more power to make web developers update their websites to work with the iphone, the iPad, and HTML 5. The Internet would be a better place if everyone switched to Safari.

Safari 4 for Windows hangs as soon as I type anything in a web page

I've got the latest release of Safari 4 for Windows installed on my Windows XP laptop. Unfortunately it's unusable due to a problem where the browser hangs/locks up as soon as I start to enter any data on a web form, e.g. www.google.co.uk, I can type the first letter of my search term, but then the browser hangs and will not accept any further input and I have to kill it.
Anyone else encountering anything similar? Until I've got a resolution for this I basically can't use Safari on Windows.

I'm experiencing not entirely dissimilar... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2039420&tstart=0

When printing a web page, I only get blank pages

I have a new iMac with MAC OS 10.4.11. I connected an HP psc 2175xi all-in-one printer, and when I try to print a web page from Safari, I only get a very small portion of the header and all other pages are blank. When looking at the Print Preview, every thing looks like it has printed fine, but when it is sent to the printer only blank pages come out. I am able to print from other applications fine. It seems to be related to printing web pages only, because I have also tried to print using Firefox, but the same problem occurs. Can anyone please help?
Thanks.

I did not have the HP printer software for Mac OSX installed properly. Once installed the problem went away.

I only get a blank page when trying to print a web page

I have looked up how to print a web page and did exactly as shown on the screen (I did select my printer) but when I want to print a Web page I only get a blank page. I also cannot save as PDF in the Print Dialog Box because I get a blank page there too.
I have tried to disable all my add-ons and extensions and re-enabling them one by one and it did not change anything.
Although I did not specifically notice the exact date, I feel this has been happening since I have upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.4

Wow! After several different attempts to solve my printing problems , the one that worked was the suggestion that I hit "Reset Firefox" button on the Troubleshooting Information page. Once I did that and got back in I was able to print pages correctly. Thank you for all your help and patience.

Safari 4.0.3 hangs every time I try to print a web page to a pdf file.

Hi. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and whether or not they have found a fix for it. Every time I try to print a web page to a pdf file from Safari (v4.0.3 running under Snow Leopard 10.6.1), Safari hangs and I have to force quit the program. The pdf is saved successfully, but the browser hangs immediately after the file has been created.
The problem is very consistent - every time I try to print a web page to a pdf file, the browser hangs. Anyone else have the same problem? Thanks.

Hi,
Try Safari maintenance.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Mac OS: Web Browser Quits Unexpectedly or Stops Responding
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
Also, try clearing the printers print queue.

Thank you for the response. I tried to fix the problem with some of the suggestions on that page, but none seem to work. I believe that is the only website that I'm having that problem on. I got to fooling with it a bit more and when I highlight the whole page and select to print the selected area, it actually prints the whole page then, but it won't do it as a default. I guess I can just do it like that from now on, but I thought there would be something in the settings that I could have changed. Thanks again for the help.

Safari breaks lines after every word when printing some web pages

Most pages print fine, but there are a few where Safari totally mangles the formatting when trying to print.
For example, this page on Microsoft's support website. It looks fine in Safari, but when I try and print it, all the content gets pushed to the left edge of the page, with each word appearing on a new line. This causes the content to take up 15 pages!
I've tested this in Safari 7.1 in Mavericks, and Safari 8.0 in Yosemite. The results are identical in both versions.
The same web page prints normally from Chrome or Firefox, and is only 3 pages long when printed.
Note: Microsoft's website isn't the only place I've seen Safari do this, but it's the only example I have right now.

This happens on three different Macs. Those Macs have no problem printing from other apps, including other browsers.
Can you please try printing that web page on your Mac (with Safari), and letting me know what happens?
Here's a link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2360509
Just load that page, then try printing it.
Note: You don't even need to actually print it. Just hit ⌘-P, and you'll see the bad formatting in the Print dialog box.

Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow with most recent upgrades of Firefox .Use an iMac and an HP officejet printer. Printer works fine with Safari and woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages.

Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.

Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.

How to print any web page to PDF in Windows 7 after Firefox version 8?

Some web pages do not print to PDF after Firefox Version 8. The result is either incomplete PDF or the print progress stops at some point and Firefox is stuck. For example the following web page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln prints to PDF with Firefox Version 8, but it does not print with any version of Firefox newer than 8. Note that the latest version of Acrobat Professional produced the same results as well as other PDF generating tools such as "FreePDF XP" and "Bullzip". Also the same web page on this same machine does print from within Internet Explorer. However using Internet Explorer is not a solution for our needs.
Thank you for looking into this.

Graphics driver support seems to be a difficult area to get right...
I'd just be guessing as to any specific differences between Fx8 and Fx17 that affect the Adobe Acrobat plugin.

No preview or preview button appears when I try to print a web page, as it does for any other file. How can I arrange for preview?

n the dialog box that appears when I try to print any web page, there is neither a preview nor a preview button, (although there is a preview if I open the web item as a pdf file, but that takes an extra step. A preview appears when I print any other file on my computer (a Macbook). Is there a setup procedure that will give a preview when printing one or several web pages?

The Print button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list opens the Print Preview window.
You can click the Print button in the Print Preview window or use the Print item in the File menu (File > Print) or use the Ctrl+P shortcut to have access to the print selection item and other print setup options.
* Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
* Use "View > Toolbars > [X] Menu Bar" to have the menu bar visible permanently.

The pull down menu or icon for printing does not respond. The only way I can print a web page is by right clicking with the mouse and selecting print? Your comments please

When I try to print a web page by selecting the print icon or by the pull down menu -print, nothing happens. It does not respond. I have to right mouse click and then select print, which then works. Why is this happening

Try using the Add Bookmark Here ² extension. You can drag the Add Bookmark window to the size you want to see. <br />

Can't print pdf web pages

using OS 10.4.11, safari 3.1.1, and adobe professional 7.0, I find that although
I can print most web pages, I can't print a pdf web page.
any thoughts ?

where do you make that selection?
Not sure where in Acrobat Professional, but in the free Acrobat Reader, it's in Acrobat Reader menu > Preferences > (category) Internet > "Display PDF in browser using:" - uncheck the box and that should cause Safari to use it's own PDF display engine (shared with Preview).
how do I make Safari show scroll command along page side - right now I seem to have lost ability to scroll up and down web page ?
That's a puzzler - the vertical/horizontal scroll bars should always be there if the page is longer/wider than the current size of the display window... Might try posting that one in the Safari for Mac forum.
Hope this helps...

How do I print a web page and make it look "right"?

When I try to print a web page, the printout (and preview) does not match the on-screen web page look. Does anyone know why that is? For example, the fonts change to Times New Roman, links appear underlined, the format changes, and some images disappear altogether. I am using a Dell laser 1720, but the issue occurred also on an (albeit old) Dell Inspiron laptop. (I believe this was not a problem using a newer Dell desktop, though...) So my question is two-fold:
1. Why is this happening?
and
2. Where are the settings to change it?
Thanks!

Hi
1: here's (probably) the why : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12169422&#12169422
2: That's tough, if you're lucky someone wrote a handy Safari extension to modify print styles - otherwise it'd be tricky.

I can't print any web page. after the print command, it wants to save xps files. on cannon printer. vista system

can't print any web page. after the print command, it wants to save as a xps file.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after up grade to 3.6.6 ==
== User Agent ==

I found that Firefox/XPS had deleted all printer driver setups except for the XPS connection. I had to reinstall my printer connection in order to have that selection present in the printer dialogue box.
