I took the whole printer apart down to it's boards and cleaned
it as best I could.. the insides look very nice.. Unfortunetly
it didn't do much to help the problem.
 As for taping over the sensor.. Could you discribe to me what
the sensor looks like. Is it possible to disconect it rather
then tape over it.. Just curious..

Thanks,
Gehan G.
