Description

Using drracket 7.8 on Ubuntu 18.04.3.
File > Print definitions... > [print dialogue opens]
Pages come out of the printer completely blank.
If you print to pdf, same result: the pdf file is composed of entirely blank pages.
The same with any printer, virtual or real, network or local.
This happens only with drracket: my printers are working just fine with any other programs: IDE, office suites, pdf editors, web browsers etc.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in DrRacket 7.8 on Ubuntu 18.04.3 using File > Print definitions, first printing to a physical or virtual printer and then to PDF. Compare the blank output with printing from other applications; done means printed definitions appear rather than blank pages.
