I very, very, very nearly ran into an old fella on a mobility scooter when he drove straight out in front of me on my way to work this morning. Good job (for him) I was in the car with brakes that work.

The image appears to be gone, however anyone, for whatever reason, who crushes a motorcycle is OK in my book (and should receive a metal of honor and lower insurance premiums for ridding us of a damn nuisance).

IMAO, given the way some (most?) motorcyclists ride, the law should mandate the crushing of motorcycles. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I've been using Chrome for years, and really like it. But since last week or so, it refuses to print anything from a map service, including Google Maps and Mapquest. On a whim, I also tried it on this page (Ctrl-P) and it failed to print. It allows me to select a printer, displays the preview perfectly, then merrily prints blank pages. I've checked for fixes and found nothing, so I'm ready to abandon it for something - not IE - that works.
What do you suggest?

What kind of printer? My family's Kodak requires both Black and Color ink cartridges to print anything, even if what is being printed is black and white (i.e. no color at all).
I often wonder what 'bright spark' at Kodak came up with that idea.
EDIT: And yes, if I do tell it to print, it only spits out blank pages.
EDIT2: Can you print from other applications?

All of them; we have several in the office. All print perfectly using IE, but none print anything but blank pages using Chrome.

Weirder still is that, if I print to CutePDF, it works great; saves the file and all. But when I open the pdf file, it's filled with blank pages.

Likely a bug in Chrome. Not surprising, really. I find all sorts of bugs in Chrome (usually ones that have come back from the dead to haunt users and developers, like this print bug, reported in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015, over multiple versions of Chrome/Chromium). I hate zombugs like these.

I've seen those postings, too. What I haven't seen is any fix posted. Apparently this problem strikes for no apparent reason, and doesn't go away. That's not very encouraging.

The only fix I have seen is uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome. If that doesn't work...

If you tell me I should uninstall an application to fix a problem I'm very likely not installing it again...

I print from Chrome occasionally and I just tested by printing this page - no problem!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I know - it worked perfectly two weeks ago here. But now, nothing but blank pages. Online help is useless, of course. No one else on the planet has this problem. Nonetheless, it exists and is a royal PITA.

Update your printer-driver.

Seems to work fine for me. Can you save to PDF from Chrome (and print the PDF)? It may be your printer driver that's causing a problem.

His reply to me above states that it prints blank pages to a PDF file.
This seems to be a zombug (a bug that rose from the dead to haunt the users and developers of a product).

That happens on my wife's laptop from time to time. Rebooting actually helps once it can't find the printer anymore.

No problem finding the printer(s), no problem previewing... grrrrrr...

1) it keeps you so busy all day you don't have time into the CP Lounge.
2) you need all that time to patch the worst bugs and never improve anything
