Good Tip John
I always use good quality paper and always 'Fan' the paper at least twice, before placing in my printer. I've never had any multiple sheet pick-up problems, but I know that some HP printers are prone to this problem.
I stick with Epson printers, because I've never experience any trouble with them.
Your friend has certainly saved you some hassle
Good luck with your new Toy......
