I thought all sheet-feeders did this. Both of ours do. I just remove the
blank sheets and put them back in. Maybe it would help to clean the black
rubber rollers with alcohol.

You can buy special laser printer cleaning sheets at the office supply stores.
These are solvent impregnated and are supposed to clear gunk off the various
rollers and such.

What solvent do they use? You can also buy tape-deck cleaning cassettes but
alcohol on a swab is cheaper and works better. And you could buy 'color TV
tuner cleaner' in a special can, with the same ingredients as 'TV tuner
cleaner' for non-color sets, at a much higher price than general purpose
electronic control cleaner (which also works on receivers and tape decks).

Re resp:12: You probably need a new "seperator pad". This site sells a
kit with the seperator pad and pickup rollers for $39.00:

I have no connection with All Laser Service except as a customer.

Excellent reference gull - thank you very much! :-) Does anyone have any
actual experience using either "cleaning sheets" or parts replacement for this
kind of paper feed problem?

I don't have experience with your particular model. However, I've cured
a LaserJet IID, a LaserJet III, and a LaserJet 4P of paper jam problems
by replacing the same types of parts. In my experience sanding or
cleaning the rollers is a temporary fix. It breaks the glaze, but the
underlying problem is that the rubber has lost its "stickiness" and
resiliancy.

Several HP printer models had a known defect with the grab rollers, and
HP offered a free repair kit to help solve this problem ... It's
basically a little sheet designed to attach a small additional piece of
rubber to the roller, so it wouldn't grab multiple sheets.
I had ordered (and used) the kit on my HP LJ1100, but that was 3 years
ago, and I've lost the URL to order the free kit.

My HP deskjet 520 grabs several sheets but usually only if I reuse paper that
had a staple in it, without first smoothing out the paper where the staple
was removed from. The bent paper must increase the friction. It helps to
straighten out the staple before removing it, instead of just pulling.
