I know two ways:
 - If your are running any network and the HP is configured as a network printer,
   terminate the printjob after the first page and switch to the second feeder with
   a new print job.
 - replace FF by the change feeder command.

I personally thing -I got this problem 3 days ago- the HP causes a seperate FF while switching
to the second feeder, if SOMETHING must be printed on the actual page.
