Printing tax forms prints blank pages

[pusher1three]

Printing my Turbotax Premier tax forms produces blank pages, or pages without my data printing.  How to fix?

Printing my saved tax forms in Acrobat form is producing blank pages, or pages without my saved data printing.  Using Turbotax Premier and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

Try Print as image in the advanced printing dialogue. Does tgat work?

Yes, that works! The copy reproduction is not as good, but it is at least

serviceable.

Thank you very much.

Print as image is a work around, not a permanent solution. The trick here is that Acrobat makes the ripping and sends a picture to the printer. For you, that means that your printer is not correctly interpreting the Postscript code that Adobe sends to the printer.

This may have essentially 2 causes, both are outside of the range of Adobe:

1. the printer driver interferes with the Postscript code generated by Acrobat. Tis is a very dumb action of the driver programers, as the Postscript code generated is highly optimized and very conform to the Postscript defenitions. Anny messing-up may make the whole code unworking.
2. The printer himselves does not understand the Postscript code generated by Acrobat. That’s often due to a third party Postscript implementation.

In very rare cases, the code generated by Adobe is faulty. But my experience shows point 1 or 2 as being the culprit in most of the cases.
