Does anyone know why it is that when you click the "Print" icon in the toolbar (or use File > Print), to print a page, that you get multiple blank pages at the end of every print job?
I am trying to print a four-page screen, and 11 pages in total print out, 7 of them blank.
Thanks in advance. Mike K
 
Mike,

Look over these articles:

Internet Explorer Printing Trouble-shooting page:

From LockerGnome...
Has your printer ever stared back at you with a blank look on its face when you printed from your browser? Me too. The reason is rooted in how the Web page is interpreted by Internet Explorer 5.5 or Outlook Express 5.5 (as well as pretty much everything in
Windows ME). The solution is a simple one -- simply requiring that you disable the encoding Auto-Select feature. Click View |Encoding | Auto-Select. This should clear the checkmark next to it and allow you to print cleanly. Oh, wait. Now I only get text at the top of the page! This is an easy fix, too. If "Style Sheets" was somehow disabled in the Registry, your browser will not properly print the page. You'll need to tiptoe around in the
Registry to repair it. Click Start | Run and type: RegEdit Up will pop the Registry Editor, ready for perusal.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet\Explorer\Main.

Look for a value called "Use StyleSheets". Odds
are, at this point, it's set to "No." Delete that value, exit the editor, and try printing the page again.
