Digital BW, The Print

I'm also having roller marks problems from the rubber belt on the right 
side of the R220.  The roller marks are on the printable surface of the
paper, unfortunately.  Switching to the thick paper option didn't make 
a difference.  I also tried running a few plain sheets through, but 
they don't have a problem.  I also tried to use a Q-tip with isopropyl 
alcohol, and that made the bands lighter, but they're still there, and 
I'm having a hard time getting thicker 8.5x11 paper to feed. Any advice 
before I try opening up the printer a bit?
