The printer didn't send out any blank pages; it sat there like nothing at all was happening. Second, you made an *extremely* sensible suggestion, for which I thank you. Print to File didn't work; it created a shortcut but not a file - not even a zero-byte file. I then tried (and I have no idea why I didn't think of it before) LibreO's "Export to .pdf", which did generate a real live .pdf. I then opened the .pdf in Microsoft Edge (which is quite good at displaying them), and yes! It printed perfectly and looks just as good as the many similar table-based documents I've printed directly from LibreOffice. If Tim @ Kracked Press or any toner-stained mavens happen on this, I would be interested to know if there are any subtle settings that might derail normal printing. I'm guessing that a corner of the file got boofed somewhere, but I've never had this happen before just out of the blue like that, and my curiosity is piqued.
