Curling paper is a "feature" of most laser printers. It's caused by moisture

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.
The last HP I bought for someone does not have that problem.... hp1320..not sure about linux'ability....
