HP LaserJet P1005, P1006, P1505, and P1505n Printers - Changing the Pickup Roller

Introduction

Normal use with good media causes wear. The use of poor media might require more frequent replacement of the pickup roller.
If the printer regularly mispicks (no media feeds through), you might need to change or clean the pickup roller.
  Attenzione:
Failure to complete this procedure might damage the printer.
