Safari printing blank

I find that a computer on my home network that normally works for printing, now prints blank pages in Safari; I am using the latest version and the latest mac system software. It prints fine from Mail.

I got rid of the printer plist file in library and it works fine now.

Safari printing blank pages

Hope someone can help.
I'm running the latest and updated Safari and OS X (10.5.8)
All applications print normally except for Safari, it prints blank pages.
Firefox prints fine as well
I've deleted the Safari preferences file and changed printer drivers (HL-5205DL)
Thx

Hi and welcome Cathy L.
Try this ...
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

Preview, Notes, Safari print blank pages

Suddenly I've got the problem, that in some programs (Preview, Notes and Safari) I can not do any printouts. The dialogbox appears, but in the preview-area on the left side is shown nothing above the number of pages and arrow to browse (even not a blank page!). If I do the printout I get a blank sheet.
If I log in as another user I do not have this problem.
Other programs work fine, like Pages, Addressbook, Excel, Firefox. Even if I select the PDF in the Finder and type Cmd-P it will be printed (I thougt, Preview would be used for this???)
I started in Safe Mode but the problem persists.
Does anybody know what is the secret behind this behavior? It would be great...

Thank you John!
The link to the similar problem did not help (the queue is empty and no Internet-Plugin), but then I deleted in the ~/Library/Preferences folder all items starting with com.apple.print. (17 items). Therefore I lost the presettings of the printers.
After this everything worked fine!
Then I tried to copy back the 17 files step by step but I did not get back my presettings but I can even print, so I did not find the real mistake, but the main thing is that everything is working again. And it is no problem to do the presets again, I just wanted to find the faulty item.

Safari prints blank pages

When I try to print in Safari, the preview in the print dialog box is blank and I am unable to print. When I select "Open PDF in Preview" in the dialog box, it opens a blank PDF.
I am also noticing similar printing problems in other native programs like Preview and TextEdit. Although Chrome seems to be affected too.
Firefox, and Microsoft Office programs are printing correctly.
So far I have tried the following:
Restarting the computer
deleting Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewr.plugin
Logging in as a "guest" in which I was able to print and everything worked correctly
Logging in Safe Mode, which I was not able to print when logged in as myself (not guest).
Any suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combinationshift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens. When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. Step 1 Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Safari only prints blank pages

Anyone help with Safari printing issue? It will only print blank pages, on my PC, although all other apps print just fine. I have the latest Safari version.

I found one possible work around. I too tried to print a multipage TV schedule from Safari. Printed first page and then multiple blank pages. Tried saving the schedule to PDF and Preview did the same thing. . .printed first page and then blank pages.
Finally opened the PDF file with Adobe Reader and it all printed out just fine. Hope this helps until Safari is fixed.
BTW I just upgraded to tiger and then 10.4.3. Before upgrading I deleted all the HP 6110 software and rebooted. Then I upgraded to Tiger and ran the Combo 10.4.3 updater. Then I configured my 6110 using the Tiger installed drivers and it printed fine. Then I downloaded and installed the current HP software and installed that. Everything works perfectly, scanning docs and pictures, coping and regular printing.

Safari Printing: Prints blank pages from Safari

I can print from Word and other applications, but it just prints blank white pages from Safari- everything in Safari- not just e-mail.
Already reset Safari
Already downloaded Mac updates

Printing area blank in safari, printing area blank in safari

Whenever I try and use ebay, or amazon to print prepaid postage the print area is blank and obviously prints blank. This seems to happen to every application written presumably in java.
However, when I use google chrome this items print correctly. I have contacted the support departments of ebay etc and they have confirmed there are issues with Safari, but google Chrome works.
When will Apple sort this out as I do not want to move to google Chrome??
Please help guys!

The problem is with the last line
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://us.js2.yimg.com/us.js.yimg.com/lib/smb/js/hosting/cp/js_source/whv2_001.js"></script><script language="javascript">geovisit();</script><noscript><img src="http://visit.webhosting.yahoo.com/visit.gif?us1279295487" alt="setstats" border="0" width="1" height="1"></noscript>
This is outside of the HTML tag plus the directions say that it has to be removed.
I hope this helps

Iphone prints blank pages

iphones 5 & 6 used to print 1 or all web pages flawlessly via airprint using Canon MG3250 printer .Now the iphones print blank sheets. Oddly the iphones wil print
emails windows on laptop will print no problems. Cannon has no more suggestions . Bought new Cannon 4250 today can't believe same problem, surely this must
be an Apple problem ? Any advise thanks

Hello Chris,
Canon software was uninstalled reinstalled numerous times . Printer reset to factory defaults. My preferred browser is Chrome and I was able to airprint just
the page I was looking at on the iphone. Have tried resetting iphones ,turning on/ff resetting network settings ..Have tried using safari which does print ,however I have no option to select a specific page from a website so if there is 50 pages attached to the page I am looking at, when I hit print It prints them all! Now wondering if it is a Chrome issue any ideas appreciated .
Regards
Richard

Printing blank calendars in iCal

How do I print out a range of BLANK calendar months (eg, October to December) that I can then fill in manually?

I'm glad you figured it out because I don't think I would have.
I think your request (ie printing blank calendars) is unique enough as to not be found in any help or tutorials but I think after reviewing some info and playing around w/ iCal you'd discover the answer yourself. You might want to look here for a nice overview: http://www.apple.com/support/ical/ and especially the link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/work/10/ as well as iCal's Help menu.

Check for null values in string, if no values, print blank

Hi
I posted a question a few days back, after playing with functions I was able to resolve it, I just have one more problem, if the string comes empty, only blank spaces should be printed, following is my string and my fix:
My string:
SEV.ORI/999999.VIN/1D7Hx11111111111111.VYR/2005.VMA/DODG.VMO/THU.DOT/07072013.CRT/MI1111111.OCA/11111111890123000001.LIT/PC.LIC/BFK9331
=Left(Split(Fields!MESSAGE.Value,"/")(6),2) + "/"
& Mid(Split(Fields!MESSAGE.Value, "/")(6) ,3 ,2) + "/"
& Mid(Split(Fields!MESSAGE.Value, "/")(6), 5, 4)
With this I get: 07/07/2013
If DOT comes empty, i get .CRT/
So I need to validate for empty space on DOT and print blank spaces. I'm guessing it would be with an IIF
or IsNothing function. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
Again after a few hours of playing with functions I resolved the issue, I will post the fix in case it can help someone else.
String:
M00836Z911134.SEV.ORI/MI3987656.VIN/1XXXXXXXXXXXXXX88.VYR/XXXX.VMA/FORD.VMO/THU.DOT/01192013.CRT/MIXX11XX0.OCA/XXXXXXXXXX123000XXX.LIT/PC.LIC/XXXXXXX.
Function:
=IIF(Mid(Split(Fields!MESSAGE.Value, ".")(7) ,1 ,3) = "DOT" , Mid(Split(Fields!MESSAGE.Value, ".")(7) ,5 ,2) + "/"
+ Mid(Split(Fields!MESSAGE.Value, ".")(7) ,7 ,2) + "/"
+ Mid(Split(Fields!MESSAGE.Value, ".")(7) ,9 ,4)," ")
Result:
01/19/2013
If DOT is missing, the space in the report comes blank

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?
null

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 print blank records after the detail records in a masterdetail report

Hi,
Developing a report for time and attendance record. In this report I am printing all the employees in a department, limiting the no. of records per page to 10.
I need to insert blank lines at the end of all of the detail records in a page that has less than 10 employee records so that the no. of records displayed on a page can always be 10(these blank lines will facilitate the management to note down the temporary employees who worked for the department but are not part of the department).
I am using a tabular form with group above layout.
The report layout is as follows:
Department : FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION
Employee Name | Employee Number |
1 Jim | 1234 | _________________
2 John | 5678 |__________________
3 blank
4 blank
5
6
7
8
9
10 balnk
Supervisor's Sign:______________________
Note: the no. of blank lines should be inserted dynamically based on the no. of emp. records being printed on the page.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kavita.

Your solution works when I am not limiting the no. of records per page for a department to 10 records and when I want to print blanks lines for the depts that has fewer than 10 employees in it.
Exactly in my report I have several dept's that has more than 10 emp's. In such cases I'll be printing first 10 in one page and the rest in the next page. Now I want to dynamically print the blank lines in the second page depending on the no. of emp's on that page. I tried to acheive this by using a CS column that reset's at page level but, REPORTS is not letting me use CS column that reset's at page level in a format trigger. I also tried to copy the CS value into a parameter and or to a Place holder column and did not help.
Any more work around ideas to acheive this?? please help.
Thanks alot

Display the column in the report by using the text color as white
