Another thought I had is that perhaps the rollers can be re-lined with
fresh rubber in a generic fashion.

All tape machines have a pinch roller somewhere in the tape path. (On
8-tracks it's in the cartridges instead of the machine, but it's there.)
These are a common replacement part. Depending on how big the rubber
areas on the printer rollers are, perhaps you could substitute the "skin"
of a new pinch roller. Places with VCR parts (MCM Electronics?) might
be the best place to look for replacement pinch rollers.

If you can find sheet rubber of the right consistency, you might be able
to cut strips of it and wrap it around the pickup roller, securing it
with glue. This might cause problems if the seam catches the edge of a
piece of paper, though.
