1224228	2011-08-18 04:52:00	Got a problem with the Epson RX430 photo printer. For some reason it doesn't want to feed the heaviest paper - viz Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper (255gsm). It worked fine with a lighter grade (175gsm) but doesn't seem to bite on the heavier grade. Always worked fine in the past but now when I am supposed to be printing some stuff for someone it goes tits-up. :angry: And of course I have no lighter paper in the size required...:annoyed: Waddya reckon? Percussive maintenance? :badpc: Or is there something useful someone could suggest? Thanx all.	slofox (5767)

I lightly sprayed alcohol on the edge of the scotchbrite scrubber. Placed it in the feed tray and pressed the paper button. In the process of trying to feed this very heavy scrubber into the printer, the roller were nicely cleaned of the residue that was keeping the paper from feeding. I had to keep the scotchbrite from feeding into the printer and pull it firmly back.	pctek (84)

It's probably just full of crap from sitting around the shop for a gazillion years...:( Thanks for your reply pctek. :thanks	slofox (5767)

1224232	2011-08-19 05:03:00	could be a issue with damp paper, since it feeds with the other paper even though it may not seem damp.....damp paper causing feed issues is not that uncommon. Its that time of year (for damp paper)	1101 (13337)
