[GreenKeys] HELP! With UGC-74A(V)

Mon, 4 Feb 2002 08:04:27 -0600

        I have two IBM proprinters, and the same sort of thing happened
to them.  Some of the goo is still on the pinch roller shafts, but it is
like Jello, and the rest of it is all over the platen and works.  
Anybody know what this stuff is?
