It's a "marvel"... ;-) as in - Marven Mystery Oil. Used sparingly, it's
quite good at putting the "stickyness" back into rubber grabbers. I've used
it on quite a few HP deskjets & on 2 LaserJet HP4's...
It's best used with a soft, cotton, lint free (or close) cloth. (read: Old

What does

dunno 'zactly, but if you go to "www.fixyourownprinter.com" (yea, it's a
hokey URL) they have "kits" to fix the more common "service errors" for the
HP LaserJets (with simple instructions...) IIRC, they have a search utility
to see if they have a kit that matches your number.
Their kits don't seem too outrageous in price, AFAICT...

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
