hi ppl, examining the printer paper feed operation with rear cover off
(19Kb)
i can see paper is not being grabbed. it doesnt appear to be a dry
rubber problem. more of the paper is being stopped by tabs (green
arrows) and rolling bushes (red arrows).

any ideas on what could be wrong? i have just bought new ink cartridges
so i would like to keep this printer.
thanks

Normally the solution is to clean the draw rollers that pull the paper
into the printer. I believe that HP suggests you use a cloth dampened
with soapy water (dish soap works fine) to clean the rollers. I have
also used alcohol to do this. On my printer you hold the dampened cloth
so that it touches the roller and depress the form feed button on the
printer. Stop when the roller completes a 360 degree cycle and do it to
all the rollers. Also make sure you do not have too little or too much
paper in the paper tray.
