I'll assume that the pickup rollers are in good shape.  Does it do the
same when printing out of both tray 2 and 3? (the T on 4000TN means a
second 500 sheet tray, if you don't have it, it would technically be a
straight 4000 seeing as you don't have the network card.)  How about
tray 1? (manual feed tray)

Actually, thinking about it, i might lean toward it being the springs in
the paper tray.  Does it feed paper fine when you have a full paper
tray?   How about with only 5 sheets in the tray?  Do you have other
lj4000 papertrays available to you to try it out with?

P.S.  I should have the service manual for the 4000 in a pdf.  I'll try
to find it.
