printer doing odd stuff

[Guest]

after a hard drive crash and new drive installed, printer prints a few lines,
spits out paper, prints a few more lines, spits out that page, etc, etc,
until the entire document is finished and many pages have been wasted.

i've:
clean uninstall/reinstall of epson
updated drivers
checked cables
clean uninstall/install different printer (canon)
updated drivers
cleaned out device manager
no other printers installed

any suggestions would be appreciated

I've tried all of these suggestions, but the printer is still acting the
same. I did notice that when I pull up the spooler queue, the document
selected for printing shows up as 2 or more documents in the queue. Each of
the "mini-documents" only contains a few lines from the full document. When
it's done printing the first mini-document, it ejects the page and begins
printing the next mini-document, which is the next few lines from the
original full document. And so on until it is complete.
