I have repaired literally hundreds of HP II's and HP III's over the
past 10 years. The paper feed problem you mention is a piece of cake
to repair (replace) and the parts are readily available at a very low
price. Following are the parts you need:
HP P/N RG1-0931-060CN FEED ROLLER ASSEMBLY
HP P/N RF1-1145-020CN SEPARATION PAD
SOURCES FOR ABOVE PARTS:
Atlantis 1-800-733-9155 (Norcross, GA)
Impact Sales 1-800-280-4521 (Madison, WI- ask for Don)
PC Service Source 1-800-727-2787 (Dallas, TX)
Printer Works 1-800-235-6116 (Hayward, CA)
I will supply you with tech support to replace these parts. Email me:
marty(a)itgonline.com
You will need to remove the top cover, front support plate and dc
power supply. Removal of the high voltage power supply is recommended
to facilitate access to the left screw holding the feed roller
assembly but you can snake a screwdriver in without a problem.

there are a couple dozen Laserjet Series IIs. I've been trying to install

Ahhh, yes.. this one I know well. The company whose time clock I
punch has about three dozen of these old guys in a store room..
they all have the same problem.. and it is: the very front set of
rollers (the pick-and-feed rollers) over the paper tray have become
hardened and non-gummy with age. The fix is: replace the rollers.
The problem is: no rollers available. The solution: give them up for
adoption, and when nobody wants them... well, you know the rest.
One could kludge together something to go around the old rollers,
but the sveral things I tried just didn't perform reliably, mainly
causing double and/or multiple feeds...
They they brough me a brand-new modern HP 4L and I quit being
frustrated by the old one.
