Epson C88+ feeding straight

My C88+ is feeding paper at an angle so that printing is slanted
noticeably to the right. Anyone have this problem and have a cure
(aside from another printer)?

Thanks,

Also - check to be sure that nothing has fallen into or gotten stuck in the
paper feed area. The rollers that feed the paper through can also get a
buildup of dust or lint from paper and might need to be cleaned.

I've also noticed this happening not only on the C88+ but on a number of
C84's that we use. The only thing I've found to minimize the slanting is
what has been suggested already; to make sure the paper guide is tight up
against the paper. This happens on new machines as well as old.
