Printer issue with XP Pro

[t1tigreguy]

I have Win XP Pro and am using an HP5si printer. The printer is capable of performing double sided and up to 11X17" paper. I have 3 machines running XP Pro, 2 of them have no problems at all using this printer. On my personal PC when I run a double sided or multiple pages it places all of the images on 1 sheet. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer with no avail. This printer is connected via IP, the only other option I can think of is to delete the IP address and reinstall the printer. It use to work fine. I am not quite sure how this is done. I was also advised to deinstall the gui software on the system that is having problems and reinstalling the software. Another option is to assign the printer an new ip address. I am not sure which if any of these suggestions will work. Has anybody had similar problems?

Usually the printers have a setting GUI, where you can set how many pages are printed on a sheet of paper, etc...

look for that...

also check the driver (PCL5e) version, current: 02.12.02 4 Mar 2002

or try the other driver (PostScript) current: 02.12.01 4 Apr 2002
