[QUOTE="BitBasher, post: 211783, member: 11428"] Old question, but I also just saw it and am providing an old answer. Cleaning rollers with 90% isopropyl alcohol, or just plain rubbing alcohol if that's all that's handy, is a long standing tip for solving paper alignment problems. Printer rollers pick up coatings of various things over time that unevenly reduce friction. Also make sure there are not bits of torn paper or excess paper dust in odd corners of the paper path. Blow out with canned air. On 845's you also need to remove the back part of the printer to also get the roller mounted there along with those within the printer. Don't just focus on large rollers... there are also small hard to see rollers. Handle with care if these have tassels, or other fragile things, associated with them. Use quality cotton fabric (old t-shirt) - lintless is best. Push wet, but not dripping, cloth against roller with finger. One tip: use a very high quality cotton swap to get at the difficult to access parts you can not otherwise reach. What I do is remove all paper trays and then request a printer action that attempts a paper feed. Notice which way the rollers spin then arrange to wipe the leading, not trailing, edge of the rollers as they spin. You must not let your cloth, or swap, be pulled into the "intake" side. For rollers you can remove from the printer, or easily turn by hand, just rub with wet cloth in a bit of sideways movement. Push partly in direction of spin to move the roller and partly across to get crosswise friction to improve cleaning. [/QUOTE]
