HI David,I hadn't tried it from the projects view, only the file view.
Having tried it (after your suggestion) I can confirm it works the same way as
you are describing. If I select a file in the project list and go to
File->Print, the preview box opens and the file is visible and I am able to
print it. Moving back into the file view and then selecting a file, File->Print
also gives me the preview with the file available to print. (NB11.1).
If I restart netbeans, open a file in file view and go to File->Print it works
properly (or as expected).
The question now I guess is - How does it lose the ability to print
occasionally?

On MacOS and NetBeans 11.1, I see two behaviors:
1. When I am in the Files View, there is an attempt to show me a print page
preview by NetBeans. This is unreliable, mostly it comes up empty.2. When I am
in the Projects View, the OS print dialog comes up reliability and prints.
(After I have printed the file with option 2, then option 1 starts "working" by
going directly to the OS print dialog. The "healing" behavior seems to be
preserved across a quit and reopen of NetBeans.)

Thanks all,Printing works for me as it should on my other station with
netbeans 11.0, so it's something outside of netbeans I feel.Printing works OK
with other software though (notepad++, word, excel etc.) so I'm unsure where to
look for the problem :(
I can open the code in notepad++ to print, but that's a bit defeatist , or just
edit with my laptop all the time...

Open a project, select a file to edit.
Once the file is open select 'File' from the main menu, then Print from the
drop down menu.
The print dialog box opens, but all sections are greyed out (except the print
options and page setup).

Don't know if this applies to your environment, but years ago under Linux, I
remember having to make sure the printer was set as the default (in OS
settings) even if there was only one.
