My client keeps getting blank page when printing / print previewing on 2 different pcs - 1st test drafts of site had slight validation issues, but site was soon made fully valid strict XHTML 1 and CSS 2.1.
I have a standalone pc with explorer 6 on xp for testing and parallels with explorer 7 on XP on a mac - I get the view source issue on one page but if I refresh it works fine. I don't get the same problem with printing though which is frustrating.
I've googled this many times finding lots of explorer related problems, but nothing which seems to relate exactly to the above.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.. hopefully someone may have experienced a similar problem.

Beware of position declarations in your CSS. It might cause issues like printing only first page and printing a few blank pages before. E.g. if your main container division has position:absolute.
Try to add to your CSS
@media print {
div#container, div#main {position: static; }
}
Of course, it's assumed that #container, #main are replaced with names of div's you have on your pages. The point is use static position for print styles
I wonder if this might be caused by google custom search form which has a watermark - the watermark image is being blocked by explorer default settings "Could not find a privacy policy for ... " googles search background logo image. This is possibly causing the page to be incompletely loaded?
Anyone else had this problem I wonder.. and maybe can think of a way of getting around it.
