Something I noticed when printing out PDF files: My printer only prints single sided, so I’d love to print only even pages, reinsert them into the paper tray, and print only odd pages. In theory, it works.
In real life, however, printing the odd pages fails practically always. There will be some irregularity, with half a page being skipped, and the remaining pages being out of sync.
Is is this an electrostatic problem? What can I do to avoid this?
It drives me nuts nuts nuts nuts NUTS!!! >{ >{ >{ ☠ ☠ ☠

Put a book on top of the sheets after the first pass through the printer then wait ten minutes before feeding the paper through again. That gives the paper time to cool, settle and flatten out again.
Works for me, anyhow 😄

Thanks, will try that. 😄
It’s awkward to block the printer in the office for half an hour printing a file called “NecG-TombAbysthor” for everyone to see in the print-queue, hehe.

I use this method for double-sided printer for almost every document on my inkjet. Most HP LaserJet printers allow you to attach a duplexer which will solve all your troubles as well as save paper in most cases. Makes even more sense if it is an office printer.
