Re: Printing blank pages
I went through the tutorial and still printing blank pages and when send to a PDF file it is also blank.
Re: Printing blank pages
I assume your print problem is based on a wrong paper position and/or printing scale. That's covered in the tutorial under "Step 2: Print Preview".
If you can't solve the problem with help of the tutorial please attach the drawing to your post. Thanks.

Re: Printing blank pages
If you see it on the "print preview" screen (which I do) should it print what you see (which it doesn't)?
Re: Printing blank pages
No. You should see a "white" page representing the print area. Everything what is positioned on this "white" page will be printed.
Everything else which is located outside the "white page" on a grey background will not be printed.
This example will print the rectangle but not the circle.
