printing blanks??

This probably sounds very strange, but Ive racked my brain for some
solution.

I have an asp.net page that renders some basic html tables. When I
print the page, a 2"x2" block in the upper left corner appears to be
white, as if something was blocking the underlying table from
printing. It looks fine in the browser and even in the print
preview...but when printed, the block of white space hides some of the
table info.

Ive tried this on several different printers in my office. I have
used several different computers. Nothing seems to work. They all
have this block of white space.

Any ideas? Im assuming its not .net...but ive never seen this before.
It cant be the printer, because Ive tried it on several...or the
computer thats printing for that matter.

Thanks for any help!

Save the page and look at the source. Try fiddling with it until you
can see what's wrong. As you said, .NET won't be the problem in itself.
 
I saved the raw html and saved it. Still same blank space. Im not
sure what to try to fix. Ill try manipulating the html code...but
that seems like a futile approach since the print preview shows the
page correctly.

Im a little stumped...

The thing you're trying to do is find which bit of the HTML is creating
the blank on print though - and that could be almost anything. When
you've found it, you can then try to stop it from being generated.
