look for a missing paper guide? The laser jet 5 can fail in
that way if the paper guide at the output of the pickup roller
is missing... or so I have read. The paper buckles and misses
the feed roller.

Well, I jusr replaced the pickup roller and it's still having exactly
the same problem. The paper falls about 1/2" short of the first feed
roller inside the printer. I guess I'm going to have to look for a
problem with the large capacity feeder mechanism.
