Multiple pages of print, print on one piece of paper...HELP! "Kelvin Beaton" <kelvin at mccsa dot com> 7/10/2007 5:31:02 PM My situation is, if I print a document that's more then one page, all the print goes on one piece of paper. Like as if the printer isn't getting the page breaks. I first notices this one my HP LJ 1300 that is connected locally by USB. I found that is also happens on an HP LJ 4200n printer that I connect to via its IP address. We just bought an HP LJ 5550dnt that I found I can print just fine to. Multiple pages print on multiple pages. I talked to CDW where I bought these printers and they couldn't figure out any reason for the behavior. I've shared the printer and printed from another PC and it acts the same. (It prints over its self.) This printer issue started a couple of months ago. Instead of trying to figure it out at the time, I just used a different printer. Point is, I don't recall what I might have installed at the time that might have caused this. I'm guessing this is an issue with my computer. I'm running Windows XP SP2. Has anyone run across this issue, can anyone shed light on how to fix this?

Re: Multiple pages of print, print on one piece of paper...HELP! Bob I <birelan[ at ]yahoo.com> 7/10/2007 5:34:56 PM Try reinstalling the original printer driver for the printer in question. Windows Update drivers may have "upgraded" to an incorrect driver. Also you may wish to try disable "Advanced Printing Features" in Printing Preferences, Advanced.

Re: Multiple pages of print, print on one piece of paper...HELP! "FeMaster" <FeMaster [ at ] hotmail . com> 7/10/2007 11:39:37 PM That's not exactly a "solution". If you turn them back on, inspect the advanced options section that should be accessible through a button titled something similar to "advanced" or "preferences" when you try to print something. Inside you should find the settings for the printers advanced features, and I'm betting that within this you will find an option to print multiple pages to a single sheet. My Epson printer has this setting under the "layout" tab, though I'm sure your HP will be different, but similar. Below is a link to the manual for the LJ 1300. Check chapter 3, Page 38, of the PDF file. It will clearly spell out how to correct your problem. I'm betting that your other HP will be almost identical to this. If not, just do a Google search for the manual... http://www.cob.fsu.edu/tech/printermanuals/laserprinters/HP1300.pdf Quote: ------------------ Accessing the multiple pages per sheet feature 1 From your software application, access the printer properties (or printing preferences in Windows 2000 and XP). See Printer properties (driver) for instructions. 2 On the Finishing tab (the Layout tab for some Mac drivers), select the correct number of pages per sheet.

Re: Multiple pages of print, print on one piece of paper...HELP! Bob I <birelan[ at ]yahoo.com> 7/11/2007 12:52:44 PM Unfortunately the printer/driver doesn't work correctly and all the "printing" is the full size instead of being reduced to it's portion of the page. So "killing" the non-working feature of the printer, and using the equivilent feature in, say Word solves the issue. FeMaster wrote: [Quoted Text] > That's not exactly a "solution".

Re: Multiple pages of print, print on one piece of paper...HELP! "Kelvin Beaton" <kelvin at mccsa dot com> 7/11/2007 8:02:42 PM Is there any reason to run the PCL6 driver over the PCL5 driver?
