hi,
Does anybody know why print -f# would print a blank sheet of paper?

Thanks,

I think more info is needed - what version of MATLAB are you running, and on
what platform? What printer are you printing to?

Does this happen with all figures, or just specific ones? Try printing this
figure, for example:
   figure;
   plot(1:10);
and
   figure;
   surf(peaks);

I think we need more info before we can try to help.
What platform are you on and what version of MATLAB are you running? What printer are you printing to?

Does this happen for all figures or just specific ones? Simple figures to try include:
   figure; plot(1:10);
and
   figure; surf(peaks);

If it's just certain figures, can you provide steps to reproduce the problem?

try print -dwinc -f#

The -dwinc set the printer driver to Window's generic color printer, which will probably work in most case. If it doesn't work in your case, try to specify the driver your printer needs. doc print will list common printer drivers.
