Two sided printing

[Joe Laureano]

I'm trying to print some documents on my HP deskjet 960c printer. The
first side prints fine. When I turn the pages over to print the
second side, I often end up with 3 - 5 pages pulled through at the
same time. I wasted a lot of ink and paper yesterday evening trying
to print two sides (color - which made it even more expensive) of a
document.

One batch, I left along for maybe half an hour before printing the
second side thinking maybe that would help. It didn't.

What can be done to prevent the printer pulling multiple pages
through on the second pass. I'm sure HP would probably say to use
their paper.

I had a similar problem with my HP950. I played around with the "Paper Type" in the "Paper Settings". With a heavy paper setting, the mechanism worked slower, minimizing the multi-sheet feed problem.

HP don't have a driver for a HP5P or HP6P or an HP5P scanner.

HP are an atrocious company who give no after sales service, no parts and
fail to fix or update drivers.

HP technology in inkjets is back in the dark deep ages of Windows Executive
and a 286 processor!!!

HP are a company whose products should be left to decay on store shelves.

Ed why don't you tell everybody why it exploded, the truth and facts not
what you want others to believe happened.

Well, gee, since you tell tell me your OS or which scanner you wanted info
about, you make it tough on a woman to burst your bubble but.......

HP ScanJet 5P

You'll have to choose whether you are on Macintosh, NEC/ISA, or PC/ISA.
Other than that I just can't imagine why you had trouble finding it.

HP LaserJet 6P - you didn't state whether it was just the 6P, or the 6P se,
or the 6P xi.

Guess this makes you want to grovel and beg for forgiveness, huh? Get off
those damned dead branches and do your homework!!!

(bwah-ha-ha-ha!!!)

JoAnn there is no drivers for XP or WinMe - how bad, how sad, just typical
lousy HP service.

David, If you are talking about the LaserJet 5P, I have no trouble using the
old workhorse with a WinME machine. FWIW DavidF

Yes, it does work, but the printer driver features are not there.

Canon don't have drivers for some of their scanners:

=====
IX-3010 Not Supported
IX-4015 Not Supported
IX-4025 Not Supported
CanoScan FS2710 Not Supported
=====

I'm not saying you need more than that - my scanner is over three years old
and does that but I also know that it won't work with my other computer that
runs XP. So what? It works with this one. If I needed to scan something on
the other computer, scanners can be had for less than US$80.

°°°M°S°°Publisher°°° asks a question to do with PCs, Super_Geek dives
in and tries to help:

Well you see the sales figures prove Canon leads the way.

Huge sales does not constitute quality, just mass-marketing and
advertising. People who only see one type of printer advertised will buy
it, regardless of its quality.

However I wish to remain neutral in this argument, so I'd like to say
I'm not suggesting Cannon spend more time & money on advertising than
printer research.

[Cough cough.]

I'd recommend Epson. Not only do they allow you to refill their
cartridges, but their reliable. I am the proud owner of an "Epson Stylus
Colo(u)r". That's it. No number, just the name. I've got the box too.

I know the drivers are skimpy, but the allow me to use the old machine.
Isn't 300dpi adequate for churning out text and lines for invoices? Doesn't
it beat buying a new machine, especially when you got the old one for free?

Remember David, some of us DO have to operate on budgets. We don't all have
Ph.Ds and lot$ of Ca$h. <g>

I have never managed to successfully reload a cartridge on an Epson printer
after it had been removed. Newer Epson cartridges are especially difficult
to refill due to the chips in the cartridges. This also makes them
difficult to recycle.
I have also found print quality on Epson inkjets to be lower than
similarly-priced HPs.
