So, one of my teachers has a bizarre problem here - whenever she prints multiple pages, only the first page comes out. It doesn't spit out any error or make any weird noises, it simply acts like it finished the print job. This is with a HP Laserjet 1200 (connected via USB) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. I uninstalled the printer and let Windows reinstall it automatically (it used the PCL 5 driver), and still got the issue. I'm going to try it with the universal PCL 6 driver from HP's site tomorrow (ran out of time today), but was wondering if anyone else had any ideas.

Hey Brian, Use the link that nonseq provided to get that stuff. I don't know if the laser jet works like the PhotoSmart, but with the PhotoSmart, you need to unplug the printer from the computer while loading and installing the drivers. At some point, it will then ask to to plug in the printer to finish the job.

Yeah, that's where I got the driver. When you go there, it gives you PCL6, Postscript, and PCL5 drivers.

I figured it out - if you set it to start printing after the last page is spooled and disable Mopier mode in the advanced settings, it works fine.
