Hi, i own a laserjet 5L, but i do not know why this happens: when i print a document(ie. a one page document). when i put paper in, it works fine, it prints and nothings wrong. but after about 10-15 minutes, if i decide to print someting entirely different, and i put paper into the printer, it would print my FIRST document (the one page document) before it prints my next document. can anyone tell me why this happens? it is an absolute waste of ink and paper, i set my "numbner of copies" to only one, i have reinstalled my driver many times, but it keeps printing two pages instead of one. Thanks
 
Check the page setup of the documents app. And, why not just keep paper in the printer at all times?

Because when i have a bunch of paper in, a paper jam usually occurs. soemtimes the printer takes 2-3 pages just to print the first page :S
