    Hello all,

     

    There is a known issue that we are currently investigating with CA Service Management and Internet Explorer in which printing in IE results in blank pages being generated on  printout..

     

    After installing Microsoft Update KB4021558 or one of its derivatives (KB4022715, KB4023834 or cumulative update KB4022719), if one goes into a given SDM ticket through IE 11 and uses "Print Form" to generate a hard copy printout, the resultant print will display a blank page.

     

    Microsoft has verified that this as an issue resultant of installing the above KB and are also researching the problem on their end.

    Update:  We are currently discussing the concern with Microsoft on a solution strategy that would address the problem with the printing experienced in IE.

     

    There is a potential workaround that may be considered.  To review, please see:

    The only thing to keep in mind is that the above workaround would roll back the security updates that, if applied, would cause the issue to occur.

    I think Microsoft released a fix for the IE/Edge print errors in the July Quality preview (upcoming patches):
