My Laserjet IIP Plus has started crinkling the bottom of each page. I thought a roller had died or something. But once in a while it works okay. I finally got around to poking at it, and couldn't find a darned thing obviously wrongish, but I did notice how very spongy and tacky the last set of rollers is. (The problem only shows up when I use top output. If I flip the thingie that makes paper come out the front -- where I don't have a tray to catch it -- it's fine.)

I shot canned air at the rollers from a couple different directions for a while, and the next couple pages that came out were un-wrinkled. The next couple after that, several minutes later, are slightly wrinkled.

It's too bloody hot in my office for my printer to work correctly. The rubber of the rollers is getting all squishified from the heat.

Now to figure out a cheaper solution than using a can or two of canned air every day. Hmm. This might actually justify putting a new air conditioner on my credit card, nervous as that makes me with my current finances. Have to think about that a while.
