Am I right in assuming you're using both printers in the same Windows
domain on one or two print servers? There are settings in the printer
preferences dialog on both the print servers and the clients. First, check
the separator page setting. Second, check if you've enabled an additional
form feed on the device properties tab - it may turn out to be just one
form feed too much. Third, check your printers' config for an additional
form feed.

Oh, see, looks as if I've misread your issue since you obviously have one
page between each printed page. If I were you I'd change the paper first.
You may as well clean the pickup roller with nailpolish remover (yes,
really!) and a clean towel. Get the service manual for this. There are some
rather illegal sources for it but since I doubt it's still being sold it
may be ok. In short: Remove the lowest paper trays and turn the printer
sidewards. You should already be able to see and remove it by pressing its
tabs.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop
diggin'.
