I am using version 24.8.3.2 on Ubuntu 24.10. My printer is an HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw.
I tried printing a simple 2-page .rtf file (no fancy formatting), and what came out was 1 blank page. I have printed this file many times before (using LibreOffice Writer) without problems.
As a workaround, I installed abiword and it was able to print out the file without issues.
Please test in safe mode, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode
Tried safe mode. No change. However, it seems to have something to do with the interface to the printer. There are 3 “printers” in the list which are really all the same printer (it is on the network and also connected via USB). When I choose the one that works in other applications (with address localhost:631) I get the blank page. When I use the one with address HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw (EA9EDE)._ipp._tcp.local:631, it works normally. Maybe I should try disconnecting the USB, forcing the printer to be accessed only via the network.
Just check of there is another option for the printer, maybe instead of printer x (postscript) see if there is a printer x (pdf) or something
Yes that is what worked (per my previous comment). So I do have an effective workaround.
