Digital BW, The Print

I have similar problems with my R800.  Two suggestions.  First, run 6
or 7 sheets of plain paper through the printer using the paper feed
button as this may help "clean" the rollers.  Second, I find that if I
do not hand feed heavier paper, even if the rollers grip, it slips and
feeds through the printer without printing.  I hold the top of the
paper and give it a very gentle push just as it grabs.  That seems to
work most of the time.  

I wish that the mechanics of the R800 were up to the printing technology.
