[Hidden-tech] Help... laser printer won't feed paper. Ideas?

[Annamarie Pluhar]

Hi there,

That sounds right.  My trusty HP laser printer went through two  
different grabber replacements in its life with me. Try looking at   
http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/  to see if they have some ideas/ 
parts for you. When I did a different kind of fix, they had a hugely  
helpful QuickTime video of how to do it that came with the parts.    
The moving picture, that you can pause, is worth ten-thousand words!
