I also own a Star Gemini 10x.  I had this very same problem when
I first set it up.  The problem is that the printer allows for
both friction feed and tractor feed.  When using tractor feed,
the lever which controls the friction must be in the OFF position,
else you get a conflict between the friction and the tractor!
Anyway, mine now works like a charm and I highly recommend it.
It's inexpensive, fast enough, quiet enough, and uses standard
typewriter ribbons.
