Blank page prints with every print job

[Glenn]

Whenever I print any type of job in MS Publisher 2002, my printer always
prints a blank sheet first. It doesn't matter if it is one page document or
multiple page document. Is there some sort of print/page setup that controls
this? I don't want a blank page before every print job. Note that this does
this on one particular printer, not all, and it only does it for a Publisher
document and no others.
Thanks

Sounds like a printer setting. Look on your settings and see if you can find
it.

check your printer see if it's set to print a separator page.

Long shot for sure but I recall seeing this
behavior on a system that had a printer
and a scanner piggybacked...IOW...the
printer connected to USB and the scanner
connected to the printer. I think it was called
a passthrough connection.

Thanks for all the inputs. I will take a look at the printer settings
again...maybe I missed something. But remember, this behavior only occurs
with Publisher. All other docs types (excel, word, etc.) print without the
blank page. The blank page also contains the crop marks on the page which
leads me to believe it's a Publisher issue.

I have run into the same issue here at work. I believe one of the big things
is the margin settings. Now we have documents that were having this issue and
the quick resolve under the "Printing Preferences" then the "Effects" tab
there is an Resizing option. Select the "Print Document On" and default
should be letter or select the proper size you plan on using and make sure
the box is ticked for "Scale to Fit". Another thing under the same screen to
keep an eye on depending on the printer right under that may be an option to
"Emulate LaserJet Margins" which is another that resolved the issue I had
been running into on a OfficeJet printer. I hope this helps.

Goyra,

Thanks for this info. I won't be at this particular printer/computer until
Sunday. I will try your suggestions. I've been just living with it so far.
