Still printing blank pages

Hi there,

I still have a problem with 5 blank pages coming out of the printer.

Can anyone see what's causing this?

the page is at http://www.jonappleton.org/a_string_of_ideas.html - try print preview and you'll see what I mean.

I've attached the .web file here..

Many thanks for your help

Baba

Odd... Prints fine here using Google Chrome, Baba..
Prints to PDF just fine as well, no blank pages. (see attached)
Print preview in Opera is also fine
I do see blank pages in IE8 and FireFoxprint preview though.

I'll investigate why IE8 and FF seem to mishandle the printing.

sledger,
I tore that site apart and couldn't find anything. But, when I tried to resize the page numerically in Options, Page Size, I would get the attached error in Grid and Ruler Origins. I don't know what it means, but I hope it helps!

It just means that whatever you tried to resize to was greater than the allowed limit.
Make sure you enter 'px' after the value (not mm or cm).
Baba's page (ancient scroll ;) ) is well within the limits

John (covoxer) is taking a look at why IE8 and FF are doing this.
As you say, there's nothing wrong with the .web file

Hi,
Just a thought check your printer settings in control panel>Printers some printers print a blank page on there own.

Good thought Jim, but in this case it's not a printer setting or printer type.
As mentioned earlier it's fine print previewed from Opera or physically printed from Chrome, but not IE or FF.

Interestingly if you remove the DOCTYPE from the exported .html this forces IE8 to use a legacy rendering engine and the problem goes away.
I'm sure John will have an answer soon.

Well glad to hear that it is strightened out. I mentioned the printer part cause I had a printer that would print blank page where there was none till I found it had a setting for printing a blank page for something or other.

It isn't Jim

sledger,
Thanks for the info, I got the error even though I was trying to size it smaller.

OK Jim, you might want to check that you can repeat that and report it as a bug in the Dear Web Designer forum because for pixel units that's wrong behavior.

Hello Guy's , thanks for your help.

Spliting the .web files into one html page per web file seems to have solved the problem.

Check it now at http://www.jonappleton.org/a_string_of_ideas.html

It must have been the length of the pages that were causing the problems.

Anyway, many thanks for being there

Baba
