I don't have such a suspicion with my HP Colour Laserjet cp1515n, but it 
is good to know that it can happen.

My trouble with it is that the rollers can no longer grab heavyweight 
paper (120 grams/square meter vs 80). I have a bottle of a product that 
may rejuvenate the rubber, difficult to find, but I have not applied it yet.

It is old:

Oh, I just found the invoice, October 2008.

Good catch, we tend to forget to check those prices.
