HP CP2025. Got all the inks in it including one that's never been used.
Also two more ink cartridges still in boxes. The printer prints more or less OK from the manual feed (jams now and then) but not from the tray at the bottom (jams immediately). The drivers are on the HP website. It's been a really good printer with superb quality but I really wouldn't know where to begin mending the paper feed. Free but you'd have to collect it from S66. It's very heavy. Bill |

It was the first suggestion that popped up after typing hp cp2025 into google. Seems to be a common problem. Tim -- Please don't feed the trolls |

Tim+ presented the following explanation :

And the roller only costs a few quid. -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |

Yes I emailed him about that a while ago, the other thing is the gears lose
teeth when the printer has a jam. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

It's not good to breathe in. |

I find it's usually enough to give them a good clean with something a bit harsh like isopropyl, takes off the sheen that they develop. |

I also avoid certain brands of paper as they give continual misfeeds. We have a Samsung laser printer (mono) which consistently jams when we give it Sainsbury's paper - works ok most of the time on other brands. It's odd as there's no visible or tactical difference in the papers. Which ones do you find give problems? -- Clive Page |

My Konica (which is waiting to go to the great recycling plant in the sky after 14 years and just 1500 pages) was fine on Xerox paper from Tesco. I remember DataCopy - used to get that at a "very good price" from work :-) Owain |
