      I'm having trouble printing from Opera. From at least two web applications with their own Print pages, there have been bits missing from the printout - the layout isn't affected, there are just gaps.

          About Opera says it's 21.0.1432.67 - hope that makes sense!

            Gaps means what?
            Empty lines or missing characters?

              It varies. Empty spaces of differing sizes, where there should be text etc.

                  Yes. We definitely need an example.

                    Windows XP - which I suppose could be the source of the problem.
                    Printer is HP Officejet 6500. I thought the driver updated automatically.
                    Websites - several including gmail.

                      Well, yesterday I printed a return label from Amazon in Opera 23 and guess what:
                      Text got printed overlapping backwards ^^
                      So that's kind of a negative gap I guess ^^
                      Win 8.1 (Samsung CLP-300)

                        I've checked - the driver is up to date.

                          People, thank you for your interest in this! However I won't have access to the printer for several days now. Should have delayed asking...

                            I had a similar issue some days ago. I thgink i could manage to fix it by changing something but i really don't recall now what i've changed.

                              The latest Chrome Stable channel update has a number of fixes for printing. It appears as though this Chrome release is making it's way to the Opera next and dev channels this week.

                                People, thanks for all your help, but my computer appears to be reacting badly to Opera in other ways, so I'm about to uninstall and reluctantly revert to Chrome. So I won't be following up this printing issue at this stage.
                                If the other problems continue, once I've tracked them down and sorted them I'll probably come back to Opera.

                                  Have been having same problem with printing using Opera.If trying to print a list lines are left blank,if length of list is longer than 1 page approx. 4 or 5 items of the list are skipped. Am using a Brother HL-2170W printer running 32 bit XP.I only have this problem in opera as Explorer prints properly. Am using Opera 21.0.1432.67 any fixes out there.
