Hi Dave,
thanks for the info. I applied some machine oil in one or 2 places but still
no go. All the mechanisms seems to work OK by hand.

When it first rotates backards, the clutch bounces back & forth. When the
print heads are over at the LHS it engages and disengages the clutch by
moving to the left a small amount and the clutch does engage disengage, i've
tried moving the head over there manually. I assume this is to feed a page
in, but even at that point when the clutch is pushed forward ,or not
depending on position of the print heads, it will not feed in a page.

I picked this up cheap 12 months ago, it was bundled with a camera. Had no
need for the printer till now so have only just opened the box.

Thanks again
Greg
