Hello Jim, nice talking to you !  

 JH> Anyone here have experience with this particular problem?  Can it be
 JH> fixed with a little fine sandpaper rub on the pickup rollers?  Or is
 JH> there maybe a "kit" to fix this problem?

        I have not seen any laser HP machine but I have "repaired" a
    few deskjet ones. It seems that the rubber rollers get glazed and
    I got rid of this by using an 800 type of grit. Good luck.

        See sig-line.  All the best to you.
     
       
...   I got this old Compaq  going again.
...     Fun it was ! But I did not do it alone.
