PowerPoint Printing Blank Pages - Need Help

I need help!

I have some lectures that were created in PowerPoint. Configuration is
7.5.3 Rev 2, GX 1.1.3, printer is a HP 855C on appletalk.The problem
happens with and without GX.

The problem is that the lectures will no longer print correctly. If I try
to print them as handouts (2 per page) the first page prints fine, the
second page is blank. Out of 15 or so pages total, 40-50% will be blank
(instead of printing the contents).

If I try to print them as slides (1 per page), then the first page is fine
and most of the rest only print about the first 1 inch of the left side of
the page.

The extra frustrating part is that before deciding to use PP to develop
the presentations, I did the first lecture and printed it with no problem.
That's been about 1 month ago, and things have changed on my machine and I
have updated that first lecture. But I have done everything I can think of
to isolate it. E.g. I turned off everything but 7.5.3 extensions and the
stuff needed to run PP and the HP printer. Still no improvement.

I have fought and solved printing problems a lot, but this one has me
completely stumped.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you contacted HP? I bet you need a new printer driver that works
better with 7.5.3r2.
