Re: [sdiy] ot: help ! printer wont pull

[Roman]

Been there.
just place low index sand paper, say 40-80 into paper tray and
try to print something while holding the sand paper. Make them
rotate for some time and don't let the sand paper go. The rolls
will get scrubbed a bit. That saved my printer from flying out
of the window one day.
