I replied to the questions listed below on 25 April, but never heard
anything further from you. Do you have any follow up ideas on this? 

I should add that, while running a 60 page mail merge today, I notice the
following on my Laser Jet IIIP's display window: 

LC LOAD A4

This clears to READY after hitting Alt-Continue, but then requires the same
prompting for each page of the merge, or otherwise...all pages require the
prompting from the key combination. 

Does this display help? Everything I find shows "US LETTER" as the page sige
I am sending to this printer.
