When I print on our (New) HP LaserJet III -w- PostScript cartridge the
pages have a very noticeable curl for the first 3 inches.  If you put the
paper back into the printer and print double sided or just blanks the
curl seems to go away.  This is terribly annoying and with a 150 page output
that you want on only one side of the paper... Well if you re-feed them
the printer might each page 10, 15, 23 etc.. 

The curl doesn't seem to be gone on documents we printed better than three
months ago.. :-(  We're in Los Angeles and it's been Dry and Wet.  No
apparent change in paper curl. :-(

What I am looking for are some hints on how to avoid this curl.  Or maybe
I have a broken printer?  Heavier paper?  I'm using 20# "Xerographic and
Laser Printer" paper.

Any suggestions would help.

Thanks in advance,

Karl
