No it was the main paper transport roller.
But the loose shaft would not have been such a problem in itself, the gear
assembly on the end serves also as a clutch to the paper feed mechanism,
activated by the head carriage. because the mount was loose this clutch
would not engage, and the lack of movement in the paper feeder was what
upset the printer.
I see that becoming a problem for the PCB printing, the main paper
transport shaft is turning backwards and forwards at all sorts of time,
which will surely be a problem if i want to attach a flat table to it. But
that's a problem to be solved another day.

I have refilled the black with mispro yellow, using the dry sponge
technique from inksupply.com . currently i don't get all nozzles, but the
instructions said that is likely and i should wait overnight. The best
nozzle pattern i got was only missing one or two, so i expect it will
clear up eventually.
