Printing outputs text interleaved with blank pages

[MUnangst]

When I print a note in ON2k7, and the note is split over more than one
printed page, the note text alternates with blank pages. e.g., Page 1 has
the first page of notes, Page 2 is blank (except for the OneNote footer &
page number), Page 3 has the 2nd page of notes, etc. This isn't a printer
duplexing issue, since the OneNote footer appears on the (otherwise blank)
pages.

This happens regardless of print driver/printer. It also happens when I use
"Publish as PDF" to save the note as a PDF.

This is with OneNote 2007 build 4518 & WinXP SP2.

Does it also appear that way on the Print Preview screen?

Does it change to the way you're expecting when you toggle the "Scale
Content to paper width" checkbox on the Print Preview screen?

Does it happen with all pages or just a particular page?

This happens sometimes when the OneNote page is wider than the print paper
page. The solution is to reduce the size of the OE (at the top right corner
of the transparent rectangle drawn around Outlines indicating the outline
area) to fit to page.

I thought that earlier, it happened with "Scale Content" checked. It didn't
appear with the extra pages on the print preview. However, now if I uncheck
"Scale Content", the number of pages shown doubles, and the "empty" pages
appear. If I re-check "Scale Content", the blank pages disappear from both
the print preview and the print output.

It looks like I can also make the problem disappear by resizing the note
area to be slightly narrower, as the other poster suggested.

Thanks for the help/workaround!
