Can this be done somewhere? Our Deskjet 990cxi is acting weird lately. It's so good and has been so trusty (and I don't know anything cheap and comparable that works with Linux out of the box) that I'm hesitant to just throw it away and get a new printer. However, I want it to work correctly. Do you know where you can (if you can) get something like this worked on these days? [...] Cheap ink jet printers have become a throwaway commodity. It costs far more to get them repaired then to buy a new one.
You don't describe "acting weird," but, if you're really attached to this printer and you just think think the rollers are a little dirty, you should be able to clean it yourself. I have cleaned the rollers on my inkjet printers periodically with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab. I've never had any problems with that procedure, even though the HP manuals say not to clean anything but the cartridge and carrier. Jim
