[PLUG] printer repair

[Lynn Yuan]

If the effort is worth it, you may want to try a
chemical rubber restorer called Fedron.  It expands
the rubber for a better grip.  Our copier repair guy
use to use it on our old copier rollers and it did
wonders (at least for a while).

Last resort, if you are ready to give up and toss the
printer - 

read somewhere about cleaning the rollers with WD40
and supposedly gave the rollers more grip

or

very lightly sanding the rollers with sand paper to
give the rollers better grip.
