Have an HP 1220 c that is a good and faithful printer for my need. It

the rubber gripper/paper advance wheels with only very temporary
success. Any suggestions on a better fix would be appreciated.

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.

IF the OP tries it (available in most auto parts stores) please post back
results.
