No matter if it is just a local ascii text file or a web page, IE print
preview and print results in a blank page.
FF 3 and Opera print OK
Other printing to the same printer works fine
Nothing has been installed/added to the PC (windows XP SP2) since the
problem was noted.
Is there a option/toggle somewhere that would cause/resolve this??
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. |

Is this a sudden, new problem?

What changes may have been made to the machine (e.g.,
installs/uninstalls/updates/upgrades) since last Friday?
Did anyone other than yourself have access to the machine since last Friday?
Does using a Restore Point which predates the problem correct it?

It was the cache... plus the fact the user never actually shut his box down
but every Blue Moon, if then ... maybe things got a little corrupted..
Thanks for your input..
The problem here is that I do not have any idea what could cause this.. w/o
some IE switch or corrupted file..
To print the page, a browser usually takes what's in cache (if available)
and uses that to render the page for printing.
