His arrow keys are on the left side of the keyboard.
What?
they probably make keyboards for left handed people or something

Your printer has this thing called a "queue." Documents that are to be printed are added to this queue, and if any errors occur or anything happens that halts printing without sending a cancel job order, it will print the next thing in line as soon as it can. Usually when a printer runs a blank sheet after printing, a large blank footer or something has created a new page and the printer will run it just because the computer is telling it to print all of the pages. This could be the case, or if the manual was a PDF, most manuals have blank pages at the beginning and end, resulting in a blank sheet before/after printing. Also try this:

Start
Settings
Control panel
Click administrative tools
Click services
Scroll down to printer spooler
Click stop
Click restart

VH, I'm not exactly sure how relevant that was.
He was complaining it printed a document right as he turned on his desktop, not about the blank sheet of paper afterwards.

When I turned on the computer when I got back it printed again.

Did you even read my loving post?

Take out the paper in the printer so it has nothing to stab you with. If you need to print something, do so at school.

My printer had the exact problem. I used to have a little brother. Used to.

Every time the printer turns on, does the paper eject out of the printer at a faster speed than the last? If so, the printer is trying to kill you. It is testing its stabbing power. Sooner or later it will eject with enough force to cut a human being in half. I see you mentioned it printed out a blank piece of paper. This is bad news. When, or if it runs out of ink, that will not be a problem. It will continue to eject blank pieces of paper until it can kill you. Best solution is to get rid of the printer.

You have been warned. I just don't want to see a fellow forumer-goer end up like my brother. I wish you luck.
Lol.
