I am not sure from your terminology, but I THINK that I am having the same
problem that you mention.  My problem is two-fold; the worst is that the tractor
clips either jam or the paper itself jams passing under the roller; this
really screws up my listings.  It happens EVERYTIME I have a listing longer
than 9 pages.

The second perhaps related problem is that I find that I have lines which 
sometimes print closer together than they should.  The symptoms are that I might
be printing off a 3-4 page paginated document and I see on page 3 or 4 the
page header printined on the bottom of the previous page.  Sometimes it is
BLANK LINES!!! that appear to be stacking - at least, looking at the printed
pages do not show me any apparent overprinting.  Othertimes, if the previous
page is full I see two or more lines very close together (and there are
not escape sequences being used to change the lines per inch).  Note that my
top of page is thus messed up, since the printer THINKS that it is further
down on the page than it is.  This starts out being about 2 lines worth, but
gets progressively worse until the above mentioned tractor trashing occurs.

I have been told that if I use a heavier weight paper that some of my problem
may go away.
