Default Old LaserJet 5 with paper jam

My folks have a Laserjet 5P that will only print if fed single sheets
one at a time through the "other media" (sic) flap. I.e. if it takes
paper from the cassette underneath it will jam, but if fed manually
single sheets all is well, if infuriating!


Can't remember the 5P offhand but will take a look. I suspect taht'll be
the pickup roller. I've done that on the 4/4+/5 - a one minute job, and
on the 5L - a half hour job!
