Imagewriter printing problem

when i print a long document from MS word on my imagewriter (from
an upgraded 512KE, but it happened before the upgrade) it very
often prints ok for six or seven pages, then suddenly skips to a
new page half way through printing the previous one, and continues
with the page alignment completely screwed up (and a small amount
of text lost).  this makes it extremely frustrating to try to get
a reasonable printout of a 40 page document.

has anyone else seen this problem, or have any idea what might
cause it?  it has persisted across new versions of word and the
system (i thought system 6 had fixed it, but it's happening again).
i don't know whether the problem is specific to word, since i never
print long documents from any other application.
