Fix a printer that no longer feeds paper correctly

I had a perfectly good printer sitting next to my desk that I had to manually push in the paper until it grabbed. Finally I got tired of doing that and found out what was going wrong. I found that the feed mechanism uses a roller wheel that's spring loaded, and wasn't spring loaded enough. Simply enough, I pulled the spring forward and relatched it where it would make the mechanism push on the paper more. Now it feeds fine, and cost me nothing. My tools were a paper clip bent into a long hook to pull the spring forward, and a letter opening knife to ease the spring back onto the hook. This was done on an HP Photosmart 8050. After googling this feed issue, it seemed that there were enough out there that might like to try this with their own printer. May not work for all printers, but hopefully the same idea still applies.
