Does a blank page appear first in Print Preview?

I have a similar issue -- a page before is printed and after the actual document.

yes -- the blank page appears in preview. I was able to get rid of the first one with this CSS:

@media print { ...

  body * { float: none !important; }

... }

But I still get the blank page afterwards.

Not sure why, but I'll let you know if I find anything else

I found the culprit for me:

I had a floating div that was holding a sidebar menu. Turning float off fixed the first page issue, but then rendered the (empty) div AFTER the main content of the page, because it was no longer floating and also had its min-height and width properties set.

Simply adding { display: none; } to my "right-col" div did the trick.
