I only have the issue with a particular website that we purchase service from. Note: It is not recommended. Typo on previous post. What I would say is for a start-off the folder location is probably different under XP, as Microsoft changed the structure in Vista and onwards.

Blank Print Preview in Internet Explorer - So far, the culprits for this issue appear to be Windows 7 KB4012719 and Windows 10 KB4022725. If you've had recent power outages, viruses, or other computer problems, it's possible that the drivers have become corrupted.

Update: I posted this back in 2011 more than 7 years ago at time of writing and can only vaguely remember the issue. I first noticed it under Windows Vista with IE8, but from reading out there on the web, it potentially effects any windows system running IE7 onwards so XP through to 7. Specifically, I am rolling out Windows 7 at my firm, with IE9 bundled in as part of an Image file. If I log in to Windows with the admin account directly, all prints fine. Anyway, enough rambling, you are here because you want to know how to fix it. As I recall, the scenario in this instance was that any user who was part of our Windows domain would log in, and the problem would be evident. My comment on logging in with the admin account, was refering to logging in to the client system with a LOCAL I. I may have also tried logging in with the Domain Administrator account and found all worked ok, although my memory is hazy…. I then cloded the browser but nothing changed. Can I use calcs instead? Bill PS I added this same comment so I could be notified by email of followup comments. Frustratingly, I no longer have access to any systems running XP or Win 2003 to try this out. What I would say is for a start-off the folder location is probably different under XP, as Microsoft changed the structure in Vista and onwards. It will eventually replace cacls. As long as its just one page evrything wrks fine. I tried doing changes in css however of no use. I wonder if it is an IE bug or something is messed up in the code. I created a folder called low in the temp folder one did not exist. I assure you it does work — I partly blogged the method as a reminder to myself on how to do this when it occured and referenced it only last week at work. Typo on previous post. Missed backslash between %tem% and Low. Anyhow… Thanks, great tip. This was close to right for me on Windows 2008R2. However the migrated user profiles from Windows 2003R2 had a slightly different temp directory structure. Problem is that in the site that was the problem child, we have a combination of strict policies that no user should have admin access so the icacls command will not run under their local account. The only solution is to disable protected mode in IE for the Internet Zone. Alternatively, one can also add sites to their trusted site settings. From : The Low folder is only used if Internet Explorer has Protected Mode: On. If you are printing something from a website that is included in your Trusted Sites zone, Protected Mode will be off by default. We have a cleanup script that deletes the contents of the TEMP folder on all 4500+ machines every weekend and we are just starting to implement Protected Mode in certain groups. My question to Microsoft is: If a brand new user logs in to a computer for the first time, the Low folder does not exist. How can the user be expected to be able to print Protected Mode site print jobs??? I have a farm of 4 x 2008R2 terminal servers that all got IE9 last week I thought getting on the band wagon this late, all the issues would be resolved…haha! Before trying your fix, 3 of the servers I run were affected but oddly enough, and for no discernible reason, the 4th server was unaffected and it prints all web docs fine. Would appreciate any guidance you could offer as roll back looks to by my only and least preferred option at the moment. Thanks for your comment, and sorry for the time it has taken for me to reply. The only thing I can immediately think is that I found the fix only worked on a user by user basis. When I first published the solution, it was the result of discovering the fault after rolling out a Windows 7 disk image to all the workstations at my place of work. To this day, the fix works but only on the user accounts it has been applied on. So when a new member of staff joined the firm the other week, having setup up their Active Directory based login, and them having logged in to a Windows 7 workstation, the problem was immediately there. I had to run the fix for their account from a non-elevated command line. Moving this concept across to your Terminal Servers, if the same issue is occuring then the fix will only work for whatever user you are logged in as. Until you run the commands as user1 from a non-elevated command prompt, my experience is that the problem persists. As depressing as it is, I would probably personally look to reimplement the Terminal Servers that are troublesome, or see if anyone else out there has found a better way of dealing with this. I hope that might be of some help — it may be the problem is running deeper than this, and apologies if this is useless info. I can sympathise with broadband position…anything involving BT tends to produce unexpected and incomprehensible! Since my post, I did indeed try and apply the fix via a user level login script but unfortunately to no avail. I tried applying the fix in a variety of other manners desktop batch files etc , but still no joy. I did then try addressing another possible cause that MS detail in their KB article the number of which escapes me , but it is essentially your resolution applied in a much less safe, less convenient and more wide ranging manner…and that was to disable protected mode entirely. I applied the change via group policy and scripted a regedit to hide the Turn on Protect Mode banner in IE and viola…a much less secure browser, but at least one that can print!! Thanks again for your help Bobby, and for coming back to me. I hope all goes well in the new house! Apologies again for delayed response — the Internet has been so bad here until this weekend that I have used it only for the essentials. I concur with your view on BT — glad to have some kind of connection, but at the extreme we had no connection for 48 hours! My employers are patent attorneys, and an online filing system we use with the European Patent Office which makes use of modern Smart Cards never worked in IE9 worked fine in IE8 , but has always worked a charm in Chrome. I did exactly as your suggestions outlines, but no luck. Works excellent for me. One note: by default, in an 2008R2-based RDS-environment, MS will use temporary folders per session. We have three users where this same issue is happening. We could run the fix, but the next time they logon, the blank page is back. I thought that the folder on the file server might need the integrity level set, so I did that for all three users. It still would not stick. We manually created it. The low folder is sticking, but the contents are not. It is a temp folder, so them not sticking is fine, but the user should still be able to create the file without having to re-run the integrity, I would think. Is there a way to run the integrity for all users who logon? I followed the other advice about creating the trusted sites, and the user still gets a blank screen. Any advice would be appreciated. That indeed sounds like a frustrating problem. Could indeed be something in the mechanism of the likes of Roaming Profiles which I always found to be a nightmare tbh, and use Redirected Folders instead — these cover pretty much everything important nowadays on modern Win Clients or something the Citrix Profile Manager is failing to generate, perhaps folders or permissions, correctly. However, it appears to be allowing internet pages to print, so something changed. Many thanks for the insights on this issue. Even if it requires periodically rerunning the fix it is worth it! So you could tell that at that moment I thought everything was fine. What is irritating about the Microsoft pages that discuss this issue is, the first two solutions given are to a run IE as administrator, and b disable protected mode in IE. I recreated it again. This time, rather than manually creating the folder, I simply ran IE as an admin, and the folder was re-created. Even after exiting the IE admin session, the folder is still there. But it seems to disappear after a few hours.
