Lightroom Classic: Print preview is blank when image is selected -- printer returns blank page

[Geoffrey B.5C80]

Using a Mac (Monterey -- 12.6):  When I select an image from the Library (or film strip), the image appears in the Print Module, but not PRINT PREVIEW. Then, when I print to either HP or Canon printer, the printer returns a blank page. I tried re-installing Lightroom - same problem.

Hi Geoffrey... Have you managed to find the solution? I am having exactly the same issue. I simply don't understand how is this happening, when it was working just fine for the last 12 months on the same machine. Is anyone from Adobe Support reading this? I'm very close to giving on PS/LR... always something causing issues.

Just chipping in - I have exavtly the same issue.  Cannot find any relevant answers.

The Print Preview Panel is located in the upper left corner of the interface. It is supposed to show only the paper aspect ratio - not the image itself. 

If you are seeing something different it might help to include a screenshot showing the issue. 

[BrettRaynes]

Thanks - didn't appreciate that.  I see similar to your screenshot above.

BUT - when I print, all I get is a blank image coming off the pinter,,,:(

Adding to this...

I have only just installed LRClassic (previously CC) and it's mid synching cloud images to my PC.  I'm half hoping that perhaps once all these are fully synced, the issue will go away.  Perhaps I'm only editing smart images currently.

Have you changed the filepath of the photo there is a little square in the top right of the image click on that then locate

please bring back the print preview when you're actually printing a photo. I agree with the other photographers that it does help catch things not input it like wanting a borderless print. thank you very very much if you can do this.

I don't believe there is anything to "bring back". LrC has always had the ability to 'preview' the print in the print module main window- as it will print. (But never in the small preview panel- as stated in the post by Rikk FLohr).

Something like "borderless" is a function in the Printer set up dialog. If I set my Canon printer to borderless in the printer dialog, AND reset the print layout 'Cell Size' to maximum- I can visually see on screen how the image will print.

 Compare my two situations- 1) With border 2) Borderless:

  

I have set 'Borderless' in the Printer Setup dialog- and adjusted the margins & Cell size in 'Layout' panel.

To other points-

Some printer device drivers can show a Print Preview AFTER you commit to [Print] in LrC, but this is not LrC, but rather a function of the printer software.

eg. My canon setup has the option-

One hint is to also adjust the background color in the print module main window, but even set to 'white' there is still a shadow to indicate the 'paper' of the expected print.

I had the same, I troubleshooted and found that LrC was missing the original photo due to a connection issue with my NAS. After reconnecting to the NAS the issue was solved.
