Paper Crinkles

I have an Hp deskjet 5150 that when it prints, one of the rollers on the side crinkles the paper on the top corner. Is there any way to fix this?

As Bailey said you should check all of the rollers and ensure that they are clean. Do not use any type of solvent on the rollers this will damage them. Use a cotton swab with a little rubbing alcohol to carefully clean the rollers. Then do a test print. If the paper is still getting crinkled your rollers may be worn and need to be replaced. Note. With the low cost of printers it may be better to replace the printer. Try cleaning first.
