Printing blank pages from Safari and Firefox

You have a few options:
1) Download and install Camino [www.mozilla.org]
2) Re-install Entire OS
3) Update Printer firmware & computer drivers
4) I haven't thought of #4 yet

Listen, I've been having this problem since the update... the solution is to actually change your page size in Print Setup to A4. I got the solution from the HP website: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00605836&produc t=79477&dlc=en〈=en

I found this suggestion and this link ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00605836&produc t=79477&dlc=en〈=en ) on another topic right here in the Discussions- so far it works for me (after only one try, but it's the first thing I've been able to print from Safari in months). In Safari page setup, select "A4" as your paper size. Don't you hate it when something so simple solves such a big problem?


Dammit- I was trying to post this to a different thread, and now I can't delete it!

No offence to the other poster, but I am always
amazed when people's first response to a serious
problem is: use another software or worse, re-install
the OS. That is the worst advice ever, again, no
offence to the other poster

I agree 100 per cent! Nothing is ever learned from re-installing the OS as soon as a problem arises! If everyone did this everytime they had a problem there would never be any solutions found/available for problems.

I have struggled with Safari and printing blank pages using an HP psc2110 all-in-one printer off and on, sometimes it works and other times not. I've upgraded to the latest HP drivers with the same results. I stumbled on the solution that seems to have resolved my problem. Under the print dialog box, use the pull down box that defaults to Copies & Pages and select Safari. There you will find two check boxes, one for headers and one for background. DEPENDING ON THE WEBPAGE you're trying to print, you need to select some combination of the two (or perhaps none of them) that gives you a complete page. I found it to be a trial and error process--the incorrect choice will give either a blank or incomplete page. That would explain the erratic behavior of the past. If you don't see the Safari choice, you may need to update the HP drivers.

As an aside, if you share the printer, you need to update the drivers on those client machines too or you may not see the shared printer at all.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Changing page setup to A4 makes Safari behave and my PSC 2175 prints web pages without blank pages....This is a HUGE help.

Interesting, but I still have problems printing my boarding pass from United's web site. In portrait the pass is missed entirely. In landscape the pass is scaled up so large that data is missing. I'm trying again just now using 75% size. At least I don't have tons of blank pages.
