Subject: Need to replace printer

Mine too, but I bought a spare one from the charity shop for ?2 and made
one good one out of the two.
There is a little pad at the bottom of the paper feed that wears out and
lets all the pages drop down together.
I fixed mine by sticking a piece of sticking plaster (slightly rubbery)
where it had worn down, but a thin piece of cork mat is probably a better
match for the original.
