printing issue in Safari 12.1
« on: March 29, 2019, 09:51:59 AM »
It is not possible to print an article directly from NYTimes.com in Safari 12.1. If I turn off Content Blocking for that site, I can print.

Reader will print normally. A bug report has been submitted to Apple.

I may have solved this, although time will tell. I deleted the NYTimes cookie and caches, restarted Safari, and logged in. So far, things seem to be OK with Content Blocking enabled and all my extensions active.

I spoke too soon; the problem is back. It returned after I went to another site in the original tab and then returned to NYTimes.

And now, after going back to NYTimes after being at another site (same tab), it's working again.  :wallbash:

My fault, but I should have been clearer when I said that I can't print from the NYTimes website. When I either click the Print icon, press Command-P, or go to File > Print, I get the error beep and the print dialog box does not appear.

I don't know if this helps, but there it is.

My only real 'work' with the NYT site is downloading their crossword puzzles. And I'm not printing them from their site either, despite it having a Print button. I just use the PDF function in the Mac print dialog. But I am having no problem getting to that normal function. However, I am not sure I had updated Safari the last time I did that. I'll give it a try tomorrow and also try printing a story.

In the meantime, can you confirm that printing from other sites is possible?

Unfortunately, Im not going to be of any real help. I have not updated to Mojave macOS 10.14.4 nor Safari 12.1. And, like you before that update, the stories print just fine with my older app and OS. :wacko:

An aside: The regular command-p comes up looking like what I see in Safari as the "reader" view, mainly text with no images. On the other hand, using the reader view provides me with almost full-page, color images!

I'm not having problems printing from other sites. And, printing a NYTimes article in Firefox works normally.

Here's another wrinkle: Printing articles from NYTimes works if I open the website in a new tab. As soon as I go to another site and return to NYTimes within that tab, printing does not work.

Definitely a bug. Bummer. Glad you found a workaround. Thanks for reporting.
