My printer does it most of the time. When it first did it, I thought I was
doing something wrong . It pulled a lot through (staggering them) and from
then on, it did it a lot. It would print all pages a little at the top.
Because I do not want to waste a lot of paper, I only feed it one page at a
time now.
I thought that when it did that the first time, it did something to the
printer. I have tried different papers. and it did the same thing even
though it was not as much paper as the first time.

I am still waiting for the ME that I was promised over a year ago. I never
worked with WinME. It looks like I won't be working with WinME. I am not
going to hold my breath until I get the "ME" promised.
