Thanks for the replies.  No I'm not describing printing on both sides, like card stock.  It's funny ... but I assumed most people would have a sheet of paper that they would use for printing small proofs before pirnting a full size sheet ... I guess not.  I may print several 4x6 prints of one picture, each time tweaking the results before I take a seperate sheet and print the image full size.

I'm assuming... like one of you suggested.... that the ink makes the paper slick and screws up the feed mechanism

In case someone else is experiencing this, I'm suggesting starting the printing of small proofs from the far end of a sheet so that the feed rolllers never roll over a printed area.
