My lexmark 2300 won't pull in paper far enough to print anything. It starts to pull in the paper but the paper won't continue to pull in once the actual printing starts. The paper just sits there without moving. The cartridges move back and forth as if printing something but the paper won't pull in.
-   I have the same problem, but some kind of white powder is appearing on the internal roller. And now the cartridges won't move to the center and the green on/off button is flashing. Help!

1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover. 2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.) 3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button. (On the X83, press the Select button.) 4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring. 5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.
If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6. If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service. 6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot. 7. Turn the printer off. 8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers. 9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.

I have a Brother Intellifax 775 fax machine which copies as well. It looks like it's working, but doesn't print anything. Bought a new cartridge and still nothing. We followed the manual to no avail. Nothing prints, it just keeps coming up blank.It is a new cartridge too! I really need help with this as I need it for my business. Can't afford to call someone to come in and look at it. It doesn't have any error messages either. I've tried just about everything I can think of, now maybe some one else will have ideas that will actually make it work. Thank you.

I have tried every way to fit the cartridges in the holders and the cartridges will not go in. I followed the "pictures" on the inside of the cover and still have not been able to get the cartridges to fit into the holders? HELP!!!
