paypal receipts won't print in mac mail

This issue has been bothering me for a long time now (over a year I think).

But today I found a workaround!!!!!111one 🙂 It seems that for me the blank page problem is somehow related to A4 paper size. If I change it to anything else in the Print dialogue (US Letter, for example), it previews and prints fine. Even A4 landscape will do. Anything except A4 portrait.

Not a perfect solution, but hopefully usable... While we continue to wait for a fix...

excellent - WORKS - now there is a cause/effect - will APPLE or PAYPAL listen? THANK YOU

GReat, thanks. I will give this a go 🙂

I have similar problem, but I noticed the emails that are still in my Mail app print fine. It is the ones I saved to disk and deleted from Mail that do not ...

"Resolved" it by defining a custom paper-size that is a bit shorter than A4 (210x293mm) -

1. Choose the mail-message and press [Command]+[p] to get the print-settings screen
2. Choose the Printer
3. Choose Paper Size -> "Manage Custom Sizes...", then, in the "Manage Custom Sizes" screen:
4. Press the [+] sign to add a new custom-page-size
5. Click the "Untitled" list-item to edit its name to something like "A4_iMac" or whatever
6. Non-Printable Area: Choose your printer (this also sets the Paper Size)
7. Fix the Paper Size to 210mm (width) by 293mm (height)
8. Press [OK] to save your changes
9. Back in the Print-Settings page, choose the newly-created Paper Size - your mail-message should be showing in the preview, now.

Next time, simply choose that custom-made paper-size before printing

(or even make it the default, until this is resolved).

seems that either Paypal or the latest update to Yosemite FIXED the problem!!!!! ALL of the Paypal emails I have received print without any adjustments.

I have OS-X 10.10.3 (14D136), and the problem persists - at least for emails from PayPal.

Have been having the same problem too and adjusting the paper size works but its annoying, I only have the problem with Paypal everything else works fine.

Experienced this problem trying to export an App Store Receipt. Definitely software related. Changing the page size worked.

I also get this with Apple receipts. I really think it's a printer issue (and possibly an Apple issues)... BUT... follow the top suggestion... it works... I changed my "Special" custom size to 8" x 10.5" (slightly smaller than a normal letter size) and it worked perfectly.

I have a similar problem - but with APPLE RECEIPTS! When I try to PRINT or SAVE AS PDF I get the email header only - not the body of the email (the important part)!

Note: PayPal receipts print fine.

My workaround for Apple receipts is to change from US Letter (my default print size) to A4, or 8x10.

I have a MBPr running El Capitan (although I had same problem on Yosemite). My printer is a HP OfficeJet 4630.

We do also have this issue and it is not connected to printing some type of mails, it occurs on most formatted/html type of emails.

The workaround suggested earlier does not make any difference to us.

goneng's solution "solved" the problem. I set a custom paper size, 8" x 10", which I named "PayPal email" and I select this setting only for PayPal receipts. Thanks to goneng!!!

Thank you! perfect explanation. Hans
