I’ve had this HP1100 for a few years, and while it worked quite well for most of that time,it started having issues taking up just one sheet of paper. It would take up 2 or 3 and then invariably jam. Annoying, to say the least. Turns out it’s a defect . . .
Individuals experiencing problems with the printer mis-feeding and multi-feeding, should try this URL:
http://www.hp.com/cposupport/printers/support_doc/bpl10122.html
and on that page we find this:
ISSUE: The HP LaserJet printer experiences increasing multiple feeds, misfeeds, and input jams toward the end of the warranty or the service life. The separation pad installer provides a one-time solution to the issue of multi-feeds and jams caused by the hardening of the old pad.
Oh, well then. I’ll just order the replacement thingie and then I can stop hand feeding this thing one sheet at a time.
And the scheduled delivery? December 25th. Bet they don’t deliver it on the day, but merry christmas to me, anyway.
