I haven't been using this printer for ~2 months because of some problems, so
before I chuck it I thought Id' bounce them off the list.

Problem 1:  It won't feed paper into the machine.   I can see numbed wheels
that protrude from the front turning and I can turn the feed wheels by hand.
The platform at the bottom of the tray moves up to place the paper in
position but the rubber wheels don't seem to push the paper into the
machine.

Problem 2.  Intermittently (before the feed problem developed) I could hear
a soft high pitched sound and when the printed page would come out with
board black lines across it.  When the sound wasn't present it printed fine.

Any ideas?   I'm also having problems with my HP 820C so I'm considering
upgrading to higher resolution printers, but I'd like to keep the IIIp as a
backup if possible.
