Text and backgound do not print

[RichardCP]

I have created a folding leaflet which appears fine on the screen. However,
when I click on print preview, half of the leaflet appears only as a white
space. When I print it, I get the same result, i.e. only half of it appears
on the page. Can anyone help, please?

Try running Design Checker on your leaflet. Sometimes issues will show up
that that prevent items from being printed. I just helped a woman with a
very similar issue. I deleted some extra text boxes and it's fine. ;-)

Many thanks. I have run Design Checker and it tells me that there are no
problems with the document.

Check your printer driver. Is it current? Go to the manufacturer's web site of
your model printer and see if there is an update.

You might think about re-installing your current driver if a new driver isn't
available.
It is always wise to completely remove a driver before installing/re-installing.

The page appears half blank when I click on Print Preview so it's surely
nothing to do with the printer driver. All other documents print without
problem.

Do you have any other printer installed? If you select another printer are you
getting the same results? Is the background on the Master page? Do you have
"Ignore Master Page" checked?

It could be your document is damaged. Usually it will be a graphic. Delete an
object, look at print preview again. If it is the same, undo, delete a different
object, and so on.

I don't have a master page. The same thing happens with another printer.

Did you do any of the troubleshooting steps that were outlined in the Knowledge
Base article?
You do have a troubled document. If you are experiencing the same issue with a
different printer then I suspect you have some corruption going on.
