XPS Document writer printing blank pages

Question

Hi,

I have Win XP SP3 and .NET  Framework 3.0 SP1 installed. When I try to print 2 copies of a document to XPS Document writer then the first page prints fine and the second copy is blank. If we give multiple copies then only 1 copy is printed fine and rest all the copies are blank.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Hello,

Could you please let me know which application are you using to print to Microsoft XPS Document Writer (MXDW).

Hello,

The behavior for printing multiple copies depends on the application.

Microsoft XPS Document Writer(MXDW) informs the application that it can only print one copy. Some applications like Firefox gives the same message to the user. Other applications like Word 2007, internally calls the MXDW twice to generate  2 copies and it puts them in 1 XPS file.

Hi Moraza,

I have similar problem.
I have a 2 TS 2008 x64 and nothing print from my aplication on printer Generic Only text.
My clients are Win XP SP3 with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed. When I try to printer Generic Only text, the printer prints page empty (blank).

I print for the Microsoft Document writer, generate file.XPS, and try to print to printer Generic Only text, and prints page empty (blank).

If print the some file.xps, previously generated, for other printer, the page prints correctly.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks,

I was away for sometime and hence could not respond to the threads. It doesnt matter which application, its the same with Notepad,wordpad,excel, word etc. There seems to be a bug with this multiple copies, I read it somewhere.

Hi,
  It's a bug in XPS Writer. Hope Microsoft will solve it in Windows 7 OS
