Printing double sided outputs
I have a HP photosmart 7660. When printing doubled sided manuals, black
only, I have a paper feed problem. I select the correct preferences and proceed with printing and the printer software works fine. I am using 24 pound white paper, but it happens also with 20 pound paper. When printing the second side of a multi-page document, the problem is that after a few pages print, a couple of pages get stuck together and feed together. So therefore, the page sequence gets messed up and I have to start again. I have tried fanning the paper, blowing on them at the same time, adjusting the left paper guide which maintains some tension on the paper edges as well as anything I could think of. I also have let the first side dry for 10 minutes before continuing. This must be somewhat a common problem, and I hope someone has a trick and tip to help. -- Dave C.

You might be much happier with a hardware duplexing laser printer. I use one for double sided books, an HP 4 Plus with duplexer. When there is a page jam, the printer/driver recovers completely with virtually no fuss and no messed up situation such as you describe. After having tried manual and hardware automatic duplexing, I would NEVER do it manually again..... If you are earning money from the manuals, it is perhaps unwise to continue as you are. Older duplexing laser printers can be had quite cheaply these days. I threw out a duplexing HPIIID Laserjet last month and a duplexing HPIID the month before, and will probably discard another quite soon. They worked fin, but I had upgraded to somewhat faster newer used models. Heavy as hell... expensive to ship. They will print several hundred thousand pages without wearing out.
