Adblock Plus prevent printing from Google Sheets

Post by mvdb49 »

We are a Google Apps user and when Adblock Plus is active in Chrome, it prevents printing a Google Sheet.
This has started after the last Adblock Plus update.

When somebody tries to print a sheet, you get a black preview screen.
If you bypass the preview screen on only prints a blank page.

After removing Adblock Plus from Chrome, printing works fine again.

Chrome: 39.0.2171.95 m
ABP version: latest
No filter lists
Chrome with just the ABP extension already shows this problem
Yes, someone creates a Google Sheet in their Google Drive and tries to print it.
I can reproduce it, and all our users have this same problem.

If I open an incognito window and select ABP as allowed to run under incognito (as only one), printing stops working.

-right click ABP icon, manage ==> see the ABP version
-so, your issue is only in incognito modality ?

ABP version: 1.8.9
And no, it happens with normal use of Chrome. As soon as the ABP extension is active, in normal and incognito mode, we are not able to print Google Sheets anymore.
All this happened as far as I can see after the last update from January 6th. Before that we had no print problems.

Same problem with Google Sheets not printing. It is sporadic and will print some sheets and not others. When the sheet will not print I only see the header and footer in the print preview and it will never display the document. I download as a pdf for a work around, but I am the Instructional Technologist for my campus and helpdesk is going crazy with these tickets.
We do have ABP installed but I have tried it since removing and the problem persist.

As you can see in the post above (read that link ...) the devs are searching for a solution

I am having the same problem:
  • Adblock Plus 1.8.9
  • Chromium 39.0.2171.65
  • Whitelisted google.com
  • Operating system Linux Ubuntu 14.04
I don't know how to add myself to the Cc list in the bug. How can I do that?

When can we expect an update ABP to be available?

You can use the last dev build (disable / remove the stable ABP)

That is cool, but useless for us. We push it out with Chrome management, and I can't select this version from the store, only the old version.

So when is the plan to make this into a normal release?

what's the issue ? Can't you install that (dev) extension ?
It's like another extension for google store.

If I install the development version, won't that mean that I no longer get updates from the Chrome store?

In any case, I would appreciate knowing when this will be released to the Chrome store.
