I wish I still had the TEAC tape cleaning kit I had back in the early 80's.
I have no idea what the rubber cleaner was that was in it, but it removed
all manner of junk from cassette and RTR pinch rollers, and did a brilliant
job of restoring the rubber to a useful condition.  I imagine the same stuff
would work wonders on printer rollers.  Maybe someone else on the list
remembers what the product is?  I just remember it reeked and was NOT the
basic alcohol most cleaners use.
