If the printer you have is the NeXT 400 dpi unit (I don't
have the model number in front of me) then I picked up
several from the gentleman who was selling them cheap in the
Bay Area. If you need one for spares or as a replacement
I'll be happy to sell it for what I paid for it ($15) plus
shipping. The ones I have are in excellent (untested) shape
with some looking almost new. . .
Just email me off list if you're interested.

The pickup roller is supposed to have a flat spot in what you're noticing, it's normal.
Over time the pickup roller on these printers gets soft
and
leaves black marks on the paper, as well as not
completely feeding
the paper. Randy at ChannelU still sells repair kits for
these
printers (new roller, ejection gear and ozone filter). I
think he
charged me $20 for the three parts. Worn/broken ejection
gears are
almost as common a problem on these pritners as the bad
roller. He
also has detailed instructions on his website for
installing them.
