HELP!
My HP 5SI MX printer prints all pages on only the first sheet of paper! It does this from any application and I can't find out why!

Any suggestions are appreciated

Back to basics:1.Run a print test at the printer is it ok?
2. Paper feed test--- does paper feed 1 sheet at a time ?
3. I do not remember if this test is available;paper path test-- prints multiple sheets of a test pattern.

If all printer tests are ok,you do not have a printer problem(mechanical problems).
Has any thing changed,or has this problem always been there ?
If windows based os try printer test page printing.

Need more specifics for any other recommendations.

HI
all test ran fine. I have never seen this before in my life. It takes one piece of paper and prints all pages in one go on this one piece of paper.

However removing all printer drivers manually and reinstalling has resolved the issue
