[rescue] LaserJet 4 glitch

My trusty Laserjet 4M Plus (now something like 14 years old) has
developed a minor but annoying problem.  Every time it first warms up
from power-saving mode to begin a print job, it is convinced that it has
a paper jam.  99 times out of 100, it's imagining it.  Simply opening
and closing the top cover without touching anything else clears the
problem, and it goes on to print without further ado.  Nevertheless,
it's annoying.

Has anyone else ever encountered this problem, and know the cure?
