Bruce,

The individual 2200 printer rollers are held in place with a short 
coiled spring that keeps the wheel in contact with the paper as it 
exits the printer.  If you lift the cover and look down into the 
printer, you will see the top of the wheels and to the left and right 
side of each wheel the ends of the coil spring.  Use a small nail or 
any pointed object, compress one end of the spring until you get it to 
comes out.  Don't remove it, just let it lay there in the event in the 
future you want return the printer to its original condition.  The 
wheel should now come off the paper or film.  Release as many springs 
as you need for the width of the paper/film you are printing on.

Hope this helps,

John
