New issue 168176 by jcabrad...@gmail.com: Chrome Sends Blank Pages To
Printer (Lexmark e120)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=168176

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.11 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Chrome/23.0.1271.97 Safari/537.11

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Browse to any webpage
2. Attempt to Print the page
3. Print Preview Shows Pages to be printed correctly.
4. Blank Pages Are Printed from the printer (lexmark e120)

What is the expected behavior?
The webpage is printed from the printer

What went wrong?
Blank Pages are printed from the printer.

Did this work before? Yes Around 2 months ago

Chrome version: 23.0.1271.97 Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.2 (Windows 8)

When selecting "print using system dialogue" the printout works. So this is
obviously chrome garbling the printing somehow.

Can you try to print some PDF using print preview. e.g.

It may be fixed. Can you also try to install
https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/canary.html. It does not
touch your current chrome installation, but will allow to test recent
changes.

Hi there, It prints fine with that version of chrome? Can i assume then
that the fix has been made but is waiting to be moved to the main version
of chrome?

I don't remember exactly when and what we did to fixed this. We didn't have
exactly same reports, so fix is side effect of something else.

Soon stable channel will be updated to Chrome 24. Now it's in beta. I hope
fix is there.

You can try to switch to 24 beta, just over-install chrom from
https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/index.html?extra=betachannel#eula,
but sometimes it's impossible to downgrade Chrome back to stable without
deleting Chrome profile. You may want to backup

Commenting this again as this bug has just reappeared in the latest stable
version of chrome. Version 28.0.1500.52 m (it had been fixed for about 2
months stable)

Blank pages once again being sent to printer.

I just tried chrome Canary and as with stable its now printing blank pages
as well.

Workaround is to use print using system dialogue. The print preview is now
showing as black and white which is what happened when the bug was present
before (it had a colour print preview when it was fixed)

Please change the bug report away from fixed. As this is now broken again.

In general, please file a new bug report for new bugs or regressions. It's
fine (and helpful) to reference old bug reports for regressions.
