Dunno about that model, but the Laserjet 5L/6L series used to develop

I'm sure all printers require some similar hardware to pick just one
sheet, so I'd suggest exploring that.

Interesting. Hmm,
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/72...00-Series.html
user manual doesn't mention a separator pad.
http://www.partshere.com/hppartslist...sp?part=Q3388A mentions
separator pads as parts, but I don't see which ones they are. I can't
seem to find any pictures to match mine. I haven't tried printing yet
after cleaning (only took the big external parts out, but not inside --
used my fingers, wet paper towels, and q-tips) as shown in my

comment.

Have a look at www.fixyourownprinter.com to see if he lists kits for
your machine.

I did not see any.
