Aloha! I don't know if they still issue them, but they were issuing free repair kits for that exact trouble issue on the HP 1100's. I will try to dig up the URL and post it here to order the kit.
I had two 1100's with the same problem. The kits didn't require taking the printer apart and only took about 2 minutes to install. I installed the kits on my printers about a year ago and they have been working flawlessly since. I still have one printer and I gave the other one away. I would try that route first before going and chucking 70 or 100 bones for a new printer. Derrick On Wed, 2004-02-18 at 12:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > The feed is screwed up.
