My printer is probably 6 or 7 years old and has been absolutely
trouble-free. But the platen and pressure rollers are starting to
get hard, and when I'm not using pin-feed paper it sometimes slips.
What is the best way to clean and soften it? I seem to remember
that in the old days we used carbon-tet, but I know it is taboo now.
I'd like to bring it back to life without paying the big bucks I
assume are required for new parts. Alcohol appears to clean the
platen but doesn't do much to improve the "grip". Suggestions?
