Turns out the only metal gear on the fuser was badly worn inside. Some
ingenious, talented people here in our machine shop fabricated an insert
for the gear and all is well. Saving us $400 labor and $280 for Fuser
Maintenance Kit.
Thanks....

It sounds like the gears on the paper exit are jumping, but when the
printer is open, the gears move without resistance or noise. The gears all
appear not to be stripped.

$200/hr and a minimum of 2 hours to get it fixed.... money better spent on
my needed upgrades!
