You need QTR. This software is very affordable.

Lift the printer cover and use a flashlight to inspect the pizza
wheels. You may find dried ink deposit on them that stop them from
rolling and scratch the paper surface. My way of curing this is
inserting a scrap piece of such media under the wheels - you can push
it in from the front rather easily. Use the back of such a paper as
Ilford Smooth which is water resistant, or anything that is water
resistant. Then deposit drops of Windex or isopropyl alcohol on the
affected wheels, let it sit for a while then gently move the paper
back and forth to work the wheels. Blotch up the liquid and deposit
some more and continue to do this until you're satisfied the wheels
now turn freely, and the cleaning agent looks clean. This method
always works for me.
