printer crinkling paper

Make sure you set 'thip, crinkle and spoit' to "no" in the printer settings.

Got a stuck roller?

Only one roller. Suppose it's time for some emergency surgery?

I still don't understand why it only mucks up the second and third passes.

I have a ML 2525 and not sure if it's much different internally to your 2510. Some paper on the first pass comes out slightly curled. If you put that paper back in it is very likely to catch somewhere.

If I print first in b&w and intend to run the paper through my color printer I use the manual feed slot which only makes the paper do one "U" turn inside the printer instead of two.

I looked quickly at a picture of the 2510 and it does not appear to have a manual feed that saves the paper doing the extra turn but you might try it.

Edit, might be a dumb idea, but after the first pass, is the paper's leading edge perfect, or does it show any signs of damage, bent etc. You might try a test running the second pass up side down or backwards. If that works the you can pretty much guess that the damage is being done to the paper by the printer. Honestly I would not run paper 3 times through my Samsung Ml 2525. The cheap 22 pound Staples $4.99 paper seems to fare better than thicker more expensive paper.

Have you thought of merging the files electronically? Many ways to do this but one simple way is to convert to image and then use photoshop (or similar) to merge layers (multiply blend might be best, or "if darker").

3 passes is not usually a good idea, even for the best printers.

The ML-2510 does technically have a manual feeder but I've never been able to get it to work properly.

The leading edge looks all right but I have the feeling the first pass changes the paper just enough to cause the problems. Thankfully I also have an ink jet that printed these flawlessly.

I have thought of that, the problem is that two of the files tend to get modified. I'm making exposure circles/cheat sheets for photography. The base file is a pdf with the two circles. The other two files are doc's to put notes on the front of the small circle and back of the large circle so there's always going to have to be at least two passes.
