Printer error and the repeats last 3 pages
In attempting to print multi-page documents of late- the printer will print 3 pages and then error- the error will clear by opening and closing the paper drawer-- where upon instead of completing the run the machine will repeat the first three pages.
I get over this by going to the page selector panel and printing the remaining pages as singles. This is a recent occurrence, and have so far been unable to resolve it - any ideas? Computer - Ubuntu 10.10 Printer Dell1320C |
What word processor or editor are you printing from and have you tested printing from another software package? from another computer?
If it happens from another computer, it is likely a printer problem. It would be useful to narrow this to the printer or to the computer/software package. |
Thanx Frank
The problem occurs largely when printing Web or PDF pages now that you mention it. Now that is something to work on. In a little while I will be putting Windoze on this computer[ to duel with Linux] so will test that suggestion also. |

There are many LQ threads that can be searched to help you prepare for this. The fix isn't difficult as far as I know (never had to do it myself) but forewarned is forearmed. |
Thanks once more Frank
I am aware of the Windoze over write situation- I had a duel system previously on a 250 Gb drive Since then i have rebuilt the machine this time with a 1Tb drive. I have already backed the Ubuntu 'stuff' on an external drive to reload when done. |
