Rick,

I have the same problem with my 1200.  It is frustrating because it seems 
intermittent. After the initial feed begins it doesn't catch in the last 
row of rollers.  I examined them with a flashlight and they are clean and 
dry. I have less problems when the paper tray is full. I wonder if there is 
a fine paper thickness adjustment?  It looks to me that the paper thickness 
lever only moves the location of the print head rather than the 
roller/paper distance.
