Multiple pages of print, print on one piece of paper...HELP!

My situation is, if I print a document that's more then one page, all the
print goes on one piece of paper. Like as if the printer isn't getting the
page breaks.



I first notices this one my HP LJ 1300 that is connected locally by USB.

I found that is also happens on an HP LJ 4200n printer that I connect to via
its IP address.

We just bought an HP LJ 5550dnt that I found I can print just fine to.
Multiple pages print on multiple pages.



I talked to CDW where I bought these printers and they couldn't figure out
any reason for the behavior.



I've shared the printer and printed from another PC and it acts the same.
(It prints over its self.)


This printer issue started a couple of months ago. Instead of trying to
figure it out at the time, I just used a different printer. Point is, I
don't recall what I might have installed at the time that might have caused
this.



I'm guessing this is an issue with my computer. I'm running Windows XP SP2.



Has anyone run across this issue, can anyone shed light on how to fix this?

Try reinstalling the original printer driver for the printer in
question. Windows Update drivers may have "upgraded" to an incorrect
driver. Also you may wish to try disable "Advanced Printing Features" in
Printing Preferences, Advanced.

I disabled the "Advanced Printing Features" like you sugested and it appears
to be working fine. I'll some more testing...

What made you think to turn this off???

Methodical testing to correct that same issue with HP printers back when
XP came out resulted in that "solution".
