HP Deskjet 610C and Funerals suck

Here I am, in the early hours of the morning, trying to print off 40 'Order of Service' pamphlets for a funeral tomorrow morning. It's not enough that I have to organise and attend the funeral of a dearly departed but I have a crap HP printer upon which to produce this material.

Yes, I'm using the very expensive HP paper, and ink, and yes; I have thoroughly cleaned the machine, including the paper pickup rollers, but NO, do you think the damn thing wants to auto feed; NO of course it doesn't; instead it wants me to sit up here all night feeding it one page at a time!!

I guess I'm either going to have to get a grip and conjure up a solution or give it up as a bad job and go to bed. Who knows which it will be.

The solution options are limited; given that it's almost midnight England is not blessed with a glut of computer stores offering late-night-shopping. So I guess the 'buy a new printer' option is out. Waking buddies at this hour (assuming I could think of anyone this far from home[Ontario, Canada]) would probably not be healthy either. So, I guess it's time for another cup of coffee and feed the next sheet.
