HELP! Getting an extra Form Feed with HP III in WinXP

[Eskil]

Hello,

I have an old HP III printer. Whenever I print, I get an extra blank
page between the printed pages. I have tried to reset the page length
etc but to no avail. Am using Windows XP Pro. Help anyone...

Thanks,

Eskil

Problem is solved. The problem is purely mechanical and is caused by a
little relay in the optional feeder tray. Retightening the spring on
this relay solves the problem. Note: If the metal moving part is
sticking, clean it off properly and remove the little pad attached to
it. Replacing it with electrical tape works fine.

With thanks to William H. Hopper, Jr. for the solution.
