Printing family group sheet
I am trying to print a family group sheet for one of my ancestors on FamilySearch. The group fills two pages but printing only prints the first page. Is this a glitch in the system? Is anyone else having this problem?

I just tested, and the 2 pages printed without a problem.
Are you printing from the New version or the old/previous version? What browser and operating system?
I tested both on new and old versions, using Firefox browser and Windows 10, all fully updated.
Edit to add: if the problem is with the New Person Page, I suggest you join/post in the New Person Page group. https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/316-new-person-page

@Mary Louise Lillian are you selecting the Print option from the Tools menu, or are you using the Ctrl P which gives you the possibility of a truncated version of the Person Page, depending on your selections?
For the Family Group sheet on the New Person Page you will need to select the Print option from the Tools menu and select the Family Group Record option, which will give you multiple pages based on the size of the family.

Somebodies missing the point here. What we are in need of is blank Family Group Sheets {or Records}, that don't have Temple Ordinance blocks on them, for our MOSTLY nonmember families!
Thank you for your time.

My original question was--is anyone else having trouble getting multiple pages of a family group to print from a family selected on FamilySearch.org? I like to print out the family group and take notes on it as I research each of the people. I am suspecting that my printer is old and having trouble printing anything after page one (however this does not happen when I print other documents). Page one of the family group prints just fine; pages 2 or 3 just give an error message. I have figured out how to take a screen shot of pages 2-3-4 and then print from that!!
I am not looking for blank family group sheets.

@Mary Louise Lillian I am not having this problem; just printed a 3 page family group sheet. It may be the print settings; is it set to print "All" pages, or is another setting selected?

@Mary Louise Lillian this may be a bit longer, but can you go each person and print their family group record separate than multiple records? I hope I understood what you are trying to do. If that is what you are doing, that is another option, not as easy, but would work. Good luck 🙂

Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions. I think it must be my printer. It does fine with other documents but just won't print more than the first page of a family group! I have figured out how to use screen shots of additional pages to trick my printer!

I could be your printer, your computer, your operating system version, or your browser version. If you post the details, someone might be able to point out the problem.
Besides that, something you could try that hasn't been mentioned yet is to first create a PDF of the Family Group Sheet then printing the PDF.
In the image posted above you can see Destination in the list of options. If you click on the equivalent of that which your system presents, and if your system is anywhere near up to date, there should be an option that says something like Print to PDF, Export to PDF, or just PDF. Choose that. This will generate the PDF file. Then see if you can print that PDF.

Gordon beat me to it. I was just about to suggest trying from a different browser. I get very different results, printing from FS, depending on the browser I use. Windows 10, fully updated. All my browser versions are fully updated. I generally have better print results using Chrome than using Firefox.
