printeer problems

[mike shea]

 I'm having a bit of new trouble with printing.
 I have an Apex L-1000 printer, an epson LQ clone...
 When I print anything longer than 1 page it prints
 a page, skips a whole page, prints a page skips a page
 etc. etc...
 I got around this at one time useing >> pr file | lp
 that worked good, But for some reason it doesn't fill
 the bill now.  
 I'm getting tired of wasteing paper, anyone ever
 encounter this before??
 I have 3.5 running on a unix-pc

 thanks
