Printing Blank Pages from Internet Explorer

http://mutterances.com/?p=83

:!: Try disabling Protected Mode and restarting IE if this doesn't work for you.

Evidently, security updates have caused a common problem when printing from IE.

The symptoms include

  • Blank (empty) pages when printing from IE
  • Blank (empty) pages when using print preview from IE
  • Happens to non-administrators

I found you can run these two commands (as a regular user) to resolve the problem:

mkdir %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\Low
icacls %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel low

You can create a small batch file that the regular users can just double-click to execute. Ours is named fix-ie-print.bat.
