Problem with printing

[rizbit]

HI,

I am trying to print some A5 leaflets using my inkjet printer. I am using double sided MATTE photo paper about 150gms.
NOw the problem is on numerous occasions the printer seems to be pulling in (feeding) more than one sheet of A5 at once. So its like printing on 5 sheets of A5 all under each other. I take it that i tmay be due to the paper 'sticking' to each other due to the nature of the coating? How do I stop this from happening.

What printer are you using and have you set up the preferences correctly?

yes setting are righti just changed the setting to Automatically detect the type paper before it was set to photo paper so maybe it was expecting thicker paper and hence pulling in more than one sheet
