Printing to HP5SI Mopier Printer from Windows XP 1

[bkessler]

When I print from a Windows XP desktop to an HP5SI Mopier printer on our LAN, the pages I print run on top of one another. In other words, page 2 prints on top of page 1.
I have tried removing the printer and then reloading the print driver from the Windows XP Pro CD from the Driver.cab file (Unidrv) and separately with the HP driver to no avail. Help!!!

I presume you can suceeefully print from other systems, correct?
Does it use one sheet of paper regardless of how many pages you print?

Yes, it does print successfully from other operating systems on other pc's with Windows 98 Second Edition. Also, there is only one piece of paper with multiple pages printed on just that one page.

Try this:
Got to START --> Settings --> Printers & Faxes, in the window choose "Server Properties" from the FILE menu, then Drivers tab, from there choose the printer and hit REMOVE. This should actually remove the DLL driver files.
Then reinstall the driver, but try not the one you have now, i.e. if you have PostScript driver now - install PCL one, or the other way around.

Good luck.

It worked! Thanks! The problem was an HP5si Mopier 5e print driver was hung in "print mode" and wouldn't allow the driver to be replaced with another one until removing it from the Server Properties area. Once that was done, I re-installed another HP5SI printer driver (6), and it worked. Great job!
