Curling paper is a "feature" of most laser printers. It's caused by moisture in the paper causing the paper to expand a bit, then it goes past the rollers and gets ironed into a curl. You should find that brand new paper out of the packet does not curl. Only put about as much as you need into the paper tray, and keep the rest sealed until you need it. This is not a problem for high volume (office) printing, as the paper doesn't sit round for long enough to absorb moisture, nor is it a problem for bubble jets or ink jets as they do not use heated rollers.
The better laser printers have "flat path" hot ends which overcomes this problem.
I usually put the hot curled paper under a big book before it cools down.
Cheers,
Jill.

The only problem I have with the printer itself is that it curles paper. For less then 5 page jobs its not all that much of an issue, but like my 25 document it becomes really difficult to sit the pages squarely together for a decent stable job. It makes the output tray over flow and messy. Although while attempting to duplex, the pages seemed to be ironed out and do not curl at all.
