HP-97 card reader, printer questions
I've repaired a number of 65/67/97 card readers, but the on this 97 is stumping me: although it's got a nice "pull"-- that is, after replacing the goopy rubber wheel, cleaning the head with alcohol, and lightly lubing the worm gear, the card goes through evenly, in fact better than the other 97 I have-- I always receive an ERROR, even on known good cards.

My other 97 has a somewhat inconsistent pull, but reads cards perfectly. I'm worried that it might be an electronic problem although I've never run across one of these before.

Second question: paper is not feeding through the printer. The plastic gear that often disintegrates is fine (and I have a metal replacement when needed); it seems to be that the plastic pinch roller with rubber grips isn't pulling the paper through well. Any source for replacements, or recommendations on repair? I've never dealt with this problem before...
