Are you sure the printer isn't asking for the Form Feed button to be pushed?
This is from HP on how to reset Outlook if you want:

"ISSUE: When attempting to print to an HP LaserJet Printer from Microsoft Outlook, the printer will display a Manual Feed message on its control panel display or the Manual Feed light will flash. The document will not print unless the form feed button is pressed. This occurs even though the printer driver is not set to manual feed.
SOLUTION: The printer is receiving a manual feed command from the Microsoft Outlook application. To change the application's default tray selection, follow these steps:
1.From within Microsoft Outlook, select File and Page Setup.
2.Select Define Print Styles.
3.In the Define Print Styles window, select a print style (such as a table or memo) and select Edit.
4.Select the Paper tab.
5.Change the Paper Source to something other than Manual Feed and choose OK.
6.Close the Define Print Styles window and try printing again.
