HP 1100 and 6L printers 1

[fidleid]

I have about 20 of these printers in use and they all have a problem of feeding more than one sheet at a time...is there a quick cure. I have tried different quality and weight paper.

Have you tried "jogging" the paper...that is: handle the edge like you have a half-deck of cards and push the tops over so you have an angle on the aligned edges (like this /)...then push them back so the edge is vertical again?
The paper is cut from big stacks and there's a small burr that sort of keeps the pieces together.
Another method involves "fanning"...that is: hold the stack with one hand and fan the pages like you'd fan the pages in a book...then spray static guard on one of the shorter edges.

I don't know about the 6L, but there is an acknowledged problem with the 1100 printers. You can go to HP's Web site and order a free seperation pad that is quite easy to install and fixed my problem.

HP's free seperation pads have been around so long that the adhesive has gone bad! I installed 4 of them before I gave up . HP won't acknowledge this problem and wouldn't send me any more "fix-it" kits. So, I added my nake to the class-action lawsuit filed against HP.

Hope you have better luck than I did. There's always a better way...

For the HP1100, you need to replace the pickup roller,separation pad, and subpad kit in order for it to feed paper correctly.

For the HP6L, you need to replace the paper pickup assembly and separation pads for it to feed paper correctly.

for both printers the cost of the parts is about $30 + shipping.
