Assuming you're not being sarcastic, do you have any idea why that
helps? The only thing I can think of is that maybe the pickup roller
isn't releasing the papaer soon enough causing the first roller in the
paper feeder not to feed the paper far enough.

At least on the LaserJet 3 series the pickup roller and pad wear causes
them to not be able to push hard enough on the paper to get it to the
next roller.

As the roller ages it hardens and rubbing against the paper causes wear
that makes it smoother and smaller. Those rollers are considered
regular maintainance items (But on the LJ3 you still have to take half
the printer apart to change it...).

You can usually find cheap replacements on EBay, often with
instructions. Quick fixes that might help temporarily are light sanding
and/or cleaning (Probably what the WD40 does).
