Is this the only solution ? How about putting it in the garbage, but seriously no one has an answer to this?

hp 895 cxi  (http://search.hp.com/query.html?charset=iso-8859-1&lk=1&la=en&nh=10&st=1&rf=0&qs=&hpvc=sitewide&uf=1&qr=1&qt=895cxi&cqt=895+cxi&sp=1)
That printer is quite old, isn't it?  How long has it been doing this?  Did you have a print que waiting from a previous session when you turned on your computer? 

Does it just push paper out or is it actually printing something?
