My ML1210 prints only on second command

My ML1210 Laser Printer (Samsung) prints only on second command? I mean sometimes (not always), when I send a print command (any document - word, pdf, browser...) it doesn't print for the first time, but prints on sending print again. But when I see the print log, it shows the document is printed twice! This happens when I send print from the server (the computer which is attached to the printer) and also from other computers on the LAN.

Why this happens? Is it the problem with any settings or physical problems like cable, etc. Meanwhile I changed the USB Cable twice!

I don't mind giving command twice, but what if there is an important document which I send print command and close (hoping that it would be printed). Then when I print some other document, the previous document is not printed! This is annoying.

Hello and welcome to TSF!

You may try uninstalling the printer driver and re-install or get an updated driver for it from Samsung's website.
