`
`This sounds indicative of incorrect paper. If I remember correctly, the
`general suggestion was for the paper to have a high cotton content (don't ask
`me why). The ultimate test is to simply try different paper types.

I've had this problem periodically with the same paper, and what I eventually
discovered was that it matters which side you print on.  Before buying new
paper, you might want to flip over the paper you have!
