Hi Printers,

Where in England would I find the fluid to help rejuvenate rubber pick
up rollers?  I found some on www.fixyourownprinter.com but I'd rather
order more locally if at all possible.

thanx,
Jimbo Slim

I've found if the printer is used heavily, it's a waste of time to use
the rubber rejuvenater.

I tried something like this on my 870 about 2 years ago - it was printing
500 -1000 sheets per month for 4 years without a problem then I found I
couldn't leave it unattended.  It would work fine if I sat next to it but
once on its own would immediately fail to pick up paper (I did think of
leaving a radio on as it may have been lonely!)

After pissing about for quite awhile trying to source anything in the UK
that would fix it for any length of time I binned it and got a laser plus an
epson inkjet (together they cost less than the new cost of the 870).

I work from home and the joy of having 2 machines is great - the laser is on
on the PP and the epson on usb so I can use them together when busy and now
have a backup if problems arise.

Not great advice but a better printer than the 870 can be purchased for less
than �100 now so I wouldn't waste time and money on it.
