Sorry for the noob-ish printer problem but this is really bugging me! I had an HP that did this before too but I can't remember what fixed it! I tried tech support but their sage advice only included instructions on how to uninstall and reinstall the drivers! :mad:

So anyway, it's an Epson CX4200 All-in-one and it's only a couple weeks old. The reinstallation of the drivers obviously didn't work. Anybody got any suggestions?
 
a blank sheet before every page you print or just a blank sheet to start with?

and what programmes does it do it for? e.g word/excel/publisher
 
In ye olden days, the fix was to configure the printer not to send page-feed/line-feed at the end of the document. However, that trick died after Win3.1/DOS days (still an issue with 'nix based printers IIRC).

I'm looking at my printer and the only thing I see that is worth a shot is Properties -> Advanced (tab) -> Seperator Page button. See if there is anything listed there and remove it.
 


This what I'm seeing. Can't really find much to do. It does this when I print from any app. Usually if I'm printing several things, it'll only feed one blank sheet and then print them all uninterrupted.

Oh, it feeds an additional blank sheet first, then prints everything fine. More of just an annoyance than anything.
