The causes of this kind of thing that can be remedied: 1. dirty rollers -- open it up and use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to clean them thoroughly. 2. cheap paper -- sometimes a batch of paper is too thin/too thick/etc. and just doesn't work with a printer. Paper that is too dry can also cause this problem. 3. static electricity -- in the winter, this can cause pages to stick together and misfeed. The only solution is to up the humidity to reduce the occurrence of static electricity. Your sinuses will thank for your this. But there are also things that can't be remedied without a service call from a tech, which is usually going to run a minimum of $150. With new laser printers costing $200, it's hard to justify that. I have a perfectly good PS laser that has a problem, but replacing the component to make it work would cost about $250. The printer itself cost only $600 back in 2001, so I've put it back in the box in hopes that something magical will happen (e.g., a bird will drop a box with the needed part on my front step). Really, there's no reason I shouldn't just give it away to someone who is willing to spend the $250 to end up with a usable printer, while I can invest the same amount in a brand-new printer.
