Basically, they get glazed and cannot pull the paper. Cleaning the feed rollers helps sometimes. Typically I use alcohol to clean them and then, if I'm still having a problem, a very, very mild abrasive (emery cloth, for example) to slightly roughen the roller surface. They are other cleaning supplies which used to help, but I don't know whether they still exist; they were used to clean typewriter rollers.
Of course, there could be another cause, but this might help. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
