I'm trying to print out a church telephone book (in Word 2007, saved in
95-2003 format), in a tahoma font, so i know it's not a font problem. The
printer works fine with all other printing, including other word documents.
But in this case, it prints out one blank page, although it's a 21-page
document, booklet style.

Any ideas on how I could investigate what the problem is? I'm at a loss...

I've tried printing only one page, all the pages, and a selection of text
from a page...none work.

Help! :-)

Well, for a start, there's no such thing as a 21-page booklet (booklets must
have pages in multiples of four). Would that help?

Actually it's a half-fold, 8.5 x 11 (on the landscape). Obvisouly one of the
pages is blank.

Okay, presumably the intentional blank page is not the one you have a
problem with? Have you checked section breaks (to see if any has changed
from Next Page to Odd Page) and the like. You might find some other useful
suggestions at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htm

But note that my original statement still stands: if you are duplexing the
booklet, you must have a multiple of four pages, as four is the number you
get when you fold a sheet printed on both sides.
