NTR prints one page and a blank, and stops

H

I have a dependable 18 year old Personal Laserwriter NTR printer which
has been running under Windows XP for a couple of years. The printer is
connected via a parallel cable to the computer. The printer has
suddenly started printing only the first page of a multi-page document,
then prints a blank and stops printing while the top light on the
printer keeps flashing. However, if I open and close the feeder door,
the next page and a blank will print, and the cycle repeats. Thinking
that the printer driver "broke," I deleted the printer control program
from the control panel and installed a new copy of Apple Personal
LaserWriter NTR v2010.129 from the XP program. No change in the
status. I have used Word, Excel and Wordpad with the same results.
Any ideas as to the problem and how to correct? Thanks
