Using Word 03 on XP SP2 Box.

I posted this on the Win XP Printer group and am getting no response and I
think there is a lot more savvy help here any way. I'm wasting a lot of
paper and time with this problem.

My problem is that on an HP Laser Jet 1200 PCL model number C-7044A Printer
which generally works like a little champ since the day I got it it is
printing every other page and leaving every other page blank *from Word 03".
I had this problem once before and forgot how I solved it. I remember last
time going all over the different print dialogue box from Word and *I think*
not finding any setting amiss there.

(One of the Printer Experts/Hardware MVPs once told me adamantly that there
was no separate different *Hardware Update Wizard* at "devmgmt.msc" in the
run box or Device Manager and at ViewsShow Hidden Devices and there is and
sometimes it's the only way to get a printer driver added for me despite all
the other locations at printer properties for example. The add hardware
wizard screenshots different and it is.

(After showing hidden devices I was able to hit properties of the HP LJ
printer and install a driver with the *hardware update wizard* from that
right click context that worked using the what I
guess was a native Windows driver. This had not worked if I either right
clicked the printer in the printer folder and hit the *update my printer
driver wizard.* Normally I would advise someone not to add a driver from
Windows because the driver's aren't as high quality as hardware sites and
they corrupt easier--also Dev Mgr is notorious for telling people key
drivers like video and audio are just fine when they aren't. It doesn't
assess driver health competently.)

Thanks very much,
