Way to restore the "Grip' on HP1220c grip (paper advance) wheels???
Have an HP 1220 c that is a good and faithful printer for my need. It
will only pass the thinist of photo papers now. Have tried sanding the rubber gripper/paper advance wheels with only very temporary success. Any suggestions on a better fix would be appreciated. Thanks In Advance for any help. Bill Holohan |

IT APPEARS THAT MANY HP PRINTERS HAVE THAT PROBLEM. ALL OF THE PREVIOUS
HP PRINTERS TO MY 990 DID THAT. THE 990 AFTER A NUMBER OF YEARS STILL WORKS GREAT. William Holohan wrote: Have an HP 1220 c that is a good and faithful printer for my need.

Hi William, I found that cleaning the rubber wheels with methylated
spirits restored the "tackiness" to them very well. Although they do wear and may not be able to get sufficient purchase on the paper any more, in which case you will need to replace them. James Sodor www.whatcartridge.com |

Americans should read fuel alcohol or "methyl hydrate" for methylated spirits. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Bill- There is a product for use on automobile tires and plastic dashboards, called Armor All (http://www.armorall.com/). Used on your printer rollers, I understand it replaces the plasticizer chemical that has been absorbed by printer paper, so they will again grab the paper. Fred |

I have only used Armorall once on my car (got a sample). It made the
tire sidewalls look nice, but it seemed greasy and I somehow doubt it adds "grab" to plastics or synthetic rubber materials, in fact, I somewhat suspect it makes things slicker. Although possibly unrelated, my wife bought a low mileage car a couple of years back from a used car dealer (it was a 1986 model) which had been "detailed" before sale. The interior (vinyl and cloth seats) looked great. However, literally within weeks after buying it, and with gentle use (no kids, no dogs, etc) the vinyl completely fell apart at all the stress points. Whatever they used to make the seats look new and clean obviously caused the plastic to so weaken that it nearly completely disintegrated. The seats "aged" in 2 months more than they did in the nearly 20 years before. I'm guessing that something similar to Armorall was used, although I have no proof.
