Do you have any print break commands in the print loop?

No - should I?

I guess I should have said that this is on OSX (10.7.5) with LC 6.5.2 in case 
that makes a difference.

 If I substantially decrease the size of the card then the blank page 
 disappears but my output is not appropriately positioned on the page.
 
 Any ideas on what I need to do to get it to work without the blank page?

OK - I switched syntax from...

print card cardNum

to

print card cardNum into cardRect

with a print break between each page and the blank page has gone.

Not necessarily. I just thought if you did, and it was at the top of a 
loop, it would print a blank page before the rest of the content. But 
you don't, so that's not it. The only other thing I can think of is that 
you're accidentally printing a blank card or something, but I suppose 
you've checked for that.


If you do decide to scale the printout as a workaround, then you could 
use print break if you need to force each card to its own page.


Or maybe print to PDF has a glitch.
