The printer platten roller in my HP9820 turned to a sticky black goo and

propan-2-ol (not very effective), lighter fluid (naphtha, rather more
effetive) and a lot of elbow grease. It wasn't perfect at the end, but it
was a lot betterm good enough to let me replace the roller and get the

Upon opening up the unit, I discovered that the
rubber rollers that
manipulate the magazine as well those that actually feed the cassette
had turned to black goo and spread it all over the place.
I'm facing a similar problem. The rubber feets of some of my
DECstations and VAXstations got somewhat "fluid" and rinsed down as a
sticky, black drop. Very nasty stuff :(
Any idea how to solve that sticky stuff away?
