I have an old hp that sometimes doesn't want to pick up the paper, is there a good way to clean them without tearing it apart???


Thanks in advance for the info!

Can you take the paper tray out? I use a citrus oil rubber restorer and a cotton towel. Just reach in there and clean the rounded side of the rollers - they should be shaped like D's. You should be able to spin the feed shaft freely in one direction.

The new Ink refills come with a CD and cleaning strips, you print out a test sheet, put the cleaning strips on the location specified and pront with it. I have these for my old 660 deskjet.
