Wha??

In this large html doc (340k) when printing it we got pgs 1-60, then 30 pages of NOTHING, then the rest of the document. It printed ok when I removed 1 graphic (right before the blanks started printing) and used an html table instead.

Why did this happen? Is there some filesize limit to html docs for printing?

Hello CSCer, Welcome to Webmaster World!

It sounds like there was an error in your coding that triggered the initial results. Did you validate your code? Sometimes the seemingly smallest of errors can cause big problems outside of "apparently okay" rendering by a forgiving browser such as MSIE. The same doc that renders "okay" in IE could turn to garbge when sent to a printer.

Did you use sizes not specified in px? Did you try printing from Netscape 4? That can cause a lot of blank sheets due to a bug: [richinstyle.com ]
