Printing blank pages

[Mesa316]

  When printing from one particular document I am only having blank pages come through the printer, I have tried three different pages with the same result. 

  Meanwhile, I can print properly from other documents. 

  Any thoughts?

What do you get if you export to PDF?

Double-click on all layers in the document's Layers Panel and make sure that "Print Layer" is checked in all cases. You will have to do this page by page.

Also, just in case your content has been set to "non-printing" in the Attributes Panel, make sure that the option to "Print Non-printing Objects" is checked in the Print dialog window.

Print layer appears to be checked for everything.
However, if I create a pdf it gets weird. INDD says it is created and if
I try to re-save it the app wants to know if I want to replace the old file.
However again, if I try to open it in Adobe Acrobat or Reader "No match."
Microsoft Explorer doesn't show it, but the "Recent files" shows it just
fine.
I even re-booted and saved it to a different location in case it was in a
bad sector, or something. No luck.
This is crazy.

Are you having the same problem with any other documents? If it is just this document then try exporting the file as an IDML file (File>Export>InDesign Markup (IDML)) and then opening the IDML in your version of InDesign. Then save the document as a regular InDesign file. This process can remove some corruption from a file. Hopefully, that will fix the issue.

No luck.
It appears to be just this file, I have printed successfully from others.
When I open the IDML file and then re-save it, I still get the blank
pages.
Just like with the PDF, the IDML version does not show up in File
Explorer, or INDD itself, but does in Recent Files which is how I opened it.

What do you mean?

Just my IMHO here - never print anything from InDesign, print from it contains many bugs, that behaviour stores by decades of years. Do PDF and print this PDF.

Print from ID is helpful just for check some text by old aunt-corrector.

Did you reboot the printer?

[Mesa316]

No, I haven't, but it is printing other things just fine.

Two things to try since it seems to be isolated to one file:

First, try an export to .idml. Open thast and save as a new .indd file. DO NOT Overwrite the existing file.

Second, if that is not successfull, select all the pages in the Pages in the Pages Panel, then, from the panel flyout menu select Move pages and move them to a new blank document (remove the extra blank page from the new file after moving). Save as a new .indd file. Again, don't overwrite the old file.

Give us package of this few pages through some dropbox or yadisk. May be some of us will check this file.
