For years I've had HP2100 laser printers dotted around. I think I have three
at the moment. Cheap toner reasonable print quality and adequately fast for
my needs. But they do get through the rubber paper Pick Up Rollers. These
used to be plentiful and cheap on UK ebay but supplies seem to be drying up
unless you are prepared to pay through the nose.

My office one needs a new pick up roller, and having to order from abroad it
will take a day or two for them to arrive SO, as an experiment I peeled the
thick rubber sheath off the worn one - it comes off inside out - then put it
back still inside out presenting a fresh face to the paper. Works a treat

rubber conditioner is another possibility to prevent deterioration
