I have seen similar problems on Okidata Dot Matrix printers.  This may
not solve your problem but it might be worth a try if your printer is
similar to our Oki...  The printhead on the Okidata slides on a bar.
Lubricating this bar has fixed these paper handling problems for us
occasionally.  If you try this, don't use WD-40 (at least that's what
Okidata says).  Use a heavier type of grease.  Sorry, I can't tell you
what kind.  It's something our maintenance department keeps on hand and
I really don't know what it is.  You may be able to call the printer
manufacturer and find out what they recommend.

Subject: [U2] Printer Creeping

Just lately, one greenbar printer (we only have one left, hurray), has
started creeping less than a line per page. For 2 or 3 pages, who cares,
other than me, but for any jobs more than a few pages, the text is
running
over the perforation.

This printer has been in service for more than a couple years without
any
problems. This showed up on one job last month and I turned the printer
off and then back on and re-printed and it worked fine. This morning, a
report printed during the night crept and after turning the printer off
and back on, it did it again on a reprint.

Help? It's Month-End and I have over 1000 pages to print and can't
afford
to have this problem, as you can imagine...

Any ideas? grasp, grasp...
