Our Deskjet 990cxi is acting weird lately.
About once a year, my Apple laserwriter 16/600 stops picking up paper out of the bins.
It's because the rubber roller starts to slip on the paper.
I "sharpen" it up with a fine diamond card-file, carefully breaking through the glaze of dirt to expose fresh rubber. If you file by turning the roller it keeps it in round, and you can get many sharpenings.

It's worth a lot, actually. You all have given me good advice. I'm going to try cleaning and sharpening this weekend. I had septoplasty surgery yesterday. When I start feeling better, I'm going to give some of these ideas a shot. Thanks! Preston
