I have a laserjet 5si with 95k on it. The diverter has been replaced as well as the rollers above tray 2 and 3(6 rollers total, blue and black gears), duplexor installed. When printing from tray 3 we are getting very frequent paper jams... 1 jam out of every 10-20 duplex pages printed from this tray. Now if I use tray 2 no jams...So I havent used tray 3 in about a year..
I also just started getting a few paper jams now from tray two. I will have paper stuck in the diverter barely coming through the top of the printer to the output bin. I can also see a piece about 1/4" past the roller under the toner then under the green handle. Any ideas? How involved is it to replace those rollers under that green handle....

Paper input assembly or 2nd pass roller. It's the one under the flap below the toner cartridge. You'll have to remove the whole paper feed assy. to replace it. It's a pretty difficult job.

The rollers under the green handle are fairly complex to replace...if you can find the part number for them. I always end up replacing the paper input unit. Fairly easy and quick.
