a cloth rag soaked in Windex (believe it or not!) and ran the
rollers (three of them on this model) for about 1 full minute in
each direction on each roller.

>>I have been working on printers for years HP originally had a kit
now I just use scotch brite & rubber cleaner, but be careful,
then a rag to finish. Again be careful also not to get the rag stuck

  Just another point of view on this...  I would stick to the
rubber cleaner.  Windex might attack the rubber on the rollers.
Rollers NEED some of the compounds that they are made of, and
rubber cleaners/conditioners restore the rollers in a more
gentle way.  Some other types of cleaners will literally
"suck the life" out of the rollers...  The rollers will
get hard enough quick enough on their own.  (grin).  Rick
