We used hundreds of these gravity fed HPs (5L,6L,1100) at a previous company and had the service techs in every week to sort out misfeed problems, which was costing a fortune. I couldn't believe we were the only people suffering from this problem and after reading around I discovered HP were offering a replacement separation pad free of change. I ordered 500 pieces, expecting HP to call me demanding a shipping fee, so it was much to my surprise that a large box arrived a couple of weeks later. Installing one of these pads was a piece of cake and was usually enough to extend the printer life such that we could write off the printer the next time it failed. If you have one of these printers with a misfeed problem, try a search on the HP web site for 'separation pad'.

"...and seems to leap before he looks too often."
Rather an unfortunate turn of phrase, given that he's a blind man. You admit as much yourself, which only discredits your comment further.
