I have a Xerox Phaser 3250 printer. I went to print one page of a 1500 document and it got the message to print all of the pages. How do I cancel the printing? Help!!!

You may have the "separator page" option turned on in your print driver. This option will insert a blank page after each print job to separate one print job from another. Simply uncheck the box by the separator page option and you should be back to normal !

what message did you get?
Check the error history and job history for errorcodes.

Sounds like a print job was sent to that printer using the wrong print driver. Unplug the printer from the network and see if it only prints the startup page. If so, then you need everyone to cancel the print jobs they sent to this printer. Then hook the network cable back to the printer and see if a print job can be sent to it (one that has worked in the past). I suspect someone has an old printer driver that is using this machines IP address to print to and it is confusing the Image Processor Board...

This model Canon printer does not have a duplex unit and cannot print double sided printing automatically.
DOUBLY SIDED PRINTING WITHOUT A DUPLEX UNIT
Open your Word document.
Open page 1 - then Print the current page.
Then put the printed page 1 back in the paper tray upside down.Open page 2 and Print the current page (page 2 will be printedon the other side of the page 1).
Repeat this procedure for the other pages.

That's normal for any printer. It's trying to pick up the printing of the entire document.
If it didn't print the same page again after you clear the jam, you would be missing a page.

take the cartridges out and put it back in and see if it works

the problem is not with the printer but it is with the ink that might be damaged, this is located inside the printer

First, are you using a factory Xerox cartridge and Xerox toner?

As to the document, are you getting the entire document printed or is the document simply cut off as if the printer cartridge is out of position?

After reading some similar stories, I simply restarted the Xerox Phaser printer via the menu on the physical printer. I theorize perhaps the Phasers on board memory could have been bogged down from all the pictures involved in the problem documents and all the size problems associated with large files.

I am having the same problem. Sometimes my Xerox Phaser 8500 prints a PDF or web page fine, and other times I get pages and pages of what looks like PostScript code. I thought I had installed the most recent printer drivers, We are using primarily Macs with OS 10.4 or 10.5. One recent change is that we connected the printer to an Airport Express using a USB cable, which is sweet when it works correctly....any ideas???
