I-94 travel history prints blank second page — Chrome/Edge system dialog, print scaling, PDF viewer & site isolation

Technician avatar Technician
Hi! We’ll fix the I-94 travel history page printing a blank second page. The CBP site renders results inside an embedded frame and some browsers block the second page due to site isolation, PDF viewer settings, or scaling.
Which browser are you using (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari)? And does Print to PDF also show a blank page 2, or only the printer output?
Customer
Chrome on Windows 11. From the I-94 website, page 1 prints fine but page 2 is empty. If I save as PDF from the Chrome print window, the PDF’s second page is blank too.

Thanks — that helps. Common causes for I-94 travel history prints blank:
1) Browser print preview truncates content inside a cross-origin iframe when Site isolation / Site-per-process is enabled.
2) The built-in Chrome PDF viewer is forced even for HTML, creating a blank page.
3) Scale to fit, margins, or headers/footers push content to page 3, leaving page 2 empty.
We’ll route printing through the system print dialog, isolate the tab, and if needed download then print from Adobe Reader so the second page renders.
Customer
What’s the system print dialog step? I always use the Chrome print preview.

Step 1 — Use the system print dialog
• On the travel history results page press Ctrl+Shift+P (or in Edge: More → Print using system dialog).
• Set Scale = 100% (Actual size), Margins = Default, turn off Headers and footers, and enable Background graphics.
• Choose Microsoft Print to PDF first. If the saved PDF shows both pages, print that PDF to your printer from Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
Customer
System dialog still gives a blank page 2 in the PDF. What next?

Step 2 — Tweak site isolation for the CBP tab
• Open a fresh window, type chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process and ensure it’s Default (not Forced). Relaunch.
• Alternatively, keep isolation on but open the I-94 results in a new tab with Open link in new tab so the frame becomes top-level (no cross-origin iframe).
• Try Print → System dialog again.
Many users report page 2 appears as soon as the content is top-level or isolation isn’t forcing a separate process for the embedded results.
Customer
After opening in a new tab, page 2 shows in preview but still prints blank on paper.

Step 3 — Bypass the built-in PDF viewer
• Go to chrome://settings/content/pdfDocuments and enable Download PDFs instead of opening them in Chrome.
• Now Save the I-94 travel history as PDF, open it in Adobe Reader, and print from there (Actual Size, Auto portrait/landscape).
• If you must stay in browser, try Firefox or Edge — both often render page 2 correctly for the I-94 history.
Customer
Adobe prints both pages! But our office still uses Chrome. Any settings we should standardize?

Step 4 — Standardize Chrome/Edge printing
• Default to System print dialog (Ctrl+Shift+P) and Scale 100%, Margins Default, Headers/Footers Off.
• Set paper size to Letter (or A4 if you’re outside the U.S.) — mismatched size can create a blank page 2.
• Allow pop-ups for https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov and disable extensions (ad-blockers, PDF tools) on that site.
• Clear cache for the site and do a hard reload (Ctrl+F5).
Customer
Does private/incognito help? Also, what about Edge?
Technician avatar Technician
Incognito helps by disabling extensions. Try a clean Incognito window and print via the system dialog.
In Microsoft Edge: use More → Print using system dialog. Edge’s site isolation defaults differ and often render the second page correctly. For managed PCs, admins can push PDF handling and printing defaults via GPO/Intune so every workstation uses the same settings.
Customer
After switching to system dialog and downloading the PDF, both pages print. Anything else to keep it reliable?
Technician avatar Technician
Final checks:
• Keep Download PDFs enabled or print from Adobe Reader for official copies.
• Use Actual size 100%, correct paper size (Letter/A4), and Background graphics on.
• If the page is still blank, repeat in Firefox — its print engine avoids the Chrome iframe issue entirely.
Customer
Great — the I-94 travel history prints both pages now. Appreciate the help!
Technician avatar Technician
Summary: If the I-94 travel history prints a blank second page, bypass the browser preview (Ctrl+Shift+P), set Scale 100%, download and print from Adobe Reader, or open results in a new tab to avoid cross-origin frames. Need hands-on help setting this up on multiple PCs? Open the chat.

Quick answer: the accepted fix

Accepted fix when I-94 travel history prints a blank second page: use the system print dialog (Ctrl+Shift+P), set Scale 100% with correct paper size, enable Background graphics, open results in a new tab (avoid iframes), and Download PDF to print from Adobe Reader. Extensions and site-isolation flags often cause the issue.


Why I-94 travel history prints a blank page 2 (Chrome/Edge, iframes & site isolation)

The CBP I-94 site renders the travel history inside an embedded frame. With site isolation or the built-in PDF viewer, browsers can clip the second page in preview and output. Printing via the system dialog, downloading the PDF, or using Firefox avoids the cross-origin rendering bug.

How to verify both pages will print

First Print to PDF from the system dialog. Open the file in Adobe Reader and confirm there are two pages. Check Actual size, paper Letter/A4, and disable headers/footers. If the PDF has both pages, your physical print will match.

I-94 printing — quick tips

Most failures stem from browser preview, PDF viewer, or scaling.

Quick path: system print dialog → scale 100% → correct paper size → background graphics on → download PDF → print from Adobe Reader → if needed, open results in a new tab or use Firefox. This resolves the majority of I-94 travel history blank page cases.

FAQ

Why does my I-94 travel history print a blank second page?

Chrome/Edge may clip content in a cross-origin iframe with site isolation or the built-in PDF viewer. Scaling and paper size mismatches can also create an empty page.

How do I make both pages print?

Use the system print dialog (Ctrl+Shift+P), set Scale 100%, download the PDF and print via Adobe Reader, or open the results in a new tab. Firefox often works out of the box.

Is it safe to change site-isolation settings?

Leave global isolation at defaults. Opening results in a new tab avoids the iframe; this is usually enough. Re-enable any tightened policies after printing.

What if only one workstation has the problem?

Standardize PDF handling (download instead of in-browser), system dialog defaults, and paper size via GPO/Intune. Disable conflicting extensions on the CBP site.

Common I-94 printing problems and quick fixes
SymptomLikely causeQuick fix
Second page blank Iframe + site isolation or built-in PDF viewer System dialog; open results in new tab; download PDF and print via Adobe
Content spills to page 3 Scale & headers/footers Scale 100%, headers/footers off, margins default
Only Chrome fails Extensions, cache, flags Incognito, disable extensions on CBP site, hard reload
Wrong paper size Letter vs A4 mismatch Set correct paper in system dialog; reprint

Step-by-step (Windows & browsers)

  1. Open I-94 travel history results in a new tab (avoid iframes).
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+P to use the system print dialog and set Scale 100%, correct paper size, headers/footers off.
  3. Enable Download PDFs; save and print via Adobe Reader if preview still shows blank page 2.
  4. If Chrome fails, print in Edge or Firefox; clear cache and disable extensions on the CBP site.

Note for macOS

  1. Use File → Print → PDF → Save as PDF, then print from Preview/Acrobat with Scale 100%.
  2. If Safari preview fails, try Chrome or Firefox and use the system dialog.
