This is most noticeable in standard and high res printing. This is quite a drag, since even short (10 page) documents take over an hour to print in high res mode, and it's no fun sitting around babysitting the printer to abort and reprint these pages. I've noticed that the Mac does a little dance with the printer roller at the start of each page, moving it back and forth, presumably to make sure the paper is properly registered at the top of form, but perhaps this is causing the problem? I've checked all of the obvious things, like paper slipping or impeded paper path, but they seem okay. Has anyone else had these problems, or know of a solution? Thanks, -m- (mkb@cmu-ri-rover.arpa)
