I'm guessing this is not uncommon and one just needs to > know the secret handshake. Or at least I hope so. Just guessing, but I've had similar problems with printers not feeding paper. There are a various rough-surfaced 'rubber' (or some rubber-like plastic) rollers that are supposed to 'grab' the paper and feed it into the printer. These rollers either wear out (become really smooth, / slippery) or just get dirty (and become smooth / slippery). Sometimes *careful* application of a cleaning (or roller restoririve) fluid will fix this. Sometimes you just need to replace the rollers. > > Thanx so much. > Da/\id > > www.HouseHealing.com > www.YourChocolateHeaven.com > > _______________________________________________ > Hidden-discuss mailing list - home page: http://www.hidden-tech.net > Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net > > You are receiving this because you are on the Hidden-Tech Discussion list. > If you would like to change your list preferences, Go to the Members > page on the Hidden Tech Web site. > http://www.hidden-tech.net/members > > -- Robert Heller -- Get the Deepwoods Software FireFox Toolbar!
