Quick Fix time...
Well this "Print preview is blank and you cannot print pages from Internet Explorer" problem was evident on a clients machine, however I couldn't actually open the Page Setup page either to resolve it.
The solution I found was this very handy IEFix - General purpose fix for Internet Explorer utility and seems to do what it says on the tin. So nice one Ramesh Srinivasan and thank you!
I tried to run the ie-fix but unfortunately got the following message:-
Run-time error '-2147024770(8007007e)'
Automation error
The specified module could not be found
If anyone has any other suggestions they would be much appreciated!
IEFix does NOT support Internet Explorer 7
And yet I used it with IE7 and thought it worth writing about.
Citation?
I went to Internet tools. Clicked on Advanced. Under Printing, clicked Print background colors and images. Fixed it. Print preview and print pages works again.
Thanks. Everything prints and can also see the preview as well now.
HI,
In IE7 the print preview is not displaying the content of the web page.It is displaying blank page.
if i select print background image, in tools->advanced settings, then it is displaying only image, the remaining text is not displaying.
but it is working in firefox.
Please suggest any configaration is required.
thnx in advance.
Hi,
my web pages has Ajax statements... but print preview shows in mozilla but not in IE 7.. in IE 7 it is showing blank but only header it is displaying but mozilla shows perfectly...
what may be the cause?... please anybody can sugest.
We're running into the same problem (blank screens in print preview) on our site. Oddly, though, if there isn't much content, it'll show up on the first page. But if there are two or more pages worth, the first page remains blank, while the other pages show content. And it's not a matter of the first page-worth of content getting moved to the second page. The second page starts off with what would normally be the second page. The first page is just missing completely.
A Big Thanks for this one... Worked like a charm.... I went to Internet tools. Clicked on Advanced. Under Printing, clicked Print background colors and images. Fixed it. Print preview and print pages works again.
Could not print from IE8. Tried everything then found IE fix and it sorted it out just like that!
Great tool.
Thanks
Click Start > Run > type %userprofile% and create a folder called temp
Next, right click on Computer > Properties > (Win 7 click Advanced System Properties) Click Advanced tab > press Environment Variable
Changed both Temp and TMP to: %userprofile%\temp
Close IE windows and now try printing pages in IE now
