Replace the pickup roller or carefully clean it using a rubber restoritive
(I bought mine at Fry's, any "real" electronic supply have it or be able to
order a bottle for about $7 to $10).

BTW I have in my hoard quite a bit of printer replacement parts, but not
much knowledge, so if you know a part number and/or have a picture email me
and I can look. Places like Printerworks aren't a bad choice either.
