Check your printer for paper size and type settings. Ensure they are set to letter and plain1. Also check the program you are printing from (Word, wordperfect, etc) and ensure the paper size is correct there as well.

HP Pro 8500 printer will not feed paper keep getting "load paper" error even though paper in tray; found small white "gear" in tray.

If the gear is broken, you most likely need to replace the pick up roller which is extremely hard or almost impossible. You may try to see if the error is really with the broken gear, or you if you just have a dusty roller that picks up paper by checking if the rollers is actually spinning when it is trying to pick up the paper.
To see what the issue is with gear or roller, try the following:
1. Remove the output paper tray and paper from the loading tray.
2. Send a copy job or print job through.
3. have a flashlight to shine light on the pick up roller and se if it spins. Try touching with your hand to be sure.
4. If the roller spins, put some alcohol on a cloth or paper towel and clean the rubber rollers.
5. Wait a few minutes, load paper and try sending copy job again.
If the roller is not spinning, then you have a problem with gears for sure.

Printer i making a weird clicking sound. It won't print. It has error light On. Status: load tray 1 / Plain letter Toner level is 80%

check if there is a paper at tray 1. if so, may be the printer is unable to pick up paper due pick-up roller problem. try to remove the tray and look in the middle, there should be a rubber like roller. if its too glossy it cant pick the paper.

I keep getting a paper jam error with my Optra S 1855 printer, but there is no paper jam. This error interchanges with a message asking me to Change the paer in tray 1 to letter size, but it is already...

Open the tray and make sure the green paper lever is set to letter mark, both at the bottom of the paper and the one on the side. And yes, if you haven't used it for 3 years, you should clean the dust that settled inside your printer over time.

Error message keeps appearing "paper jam in tray 2" although there is definitely no paper jam.

If you did not get ALL the jammed sheet out, there is still a small piece of paper in there somewhere, probably covering a sensor or micro switch. Get a torch and look carefully. If you don't find anything you may need to disassemble the printer to find it.

Cassette error

On the control panel for the printer, there's a Feed Switch button that's easily touched by accident. Ensure the Feed Switch is set to the paper source you're using (e.g. either the back or front). The graphic of the printer next to the Feed Switch button will light up to indicate the paper tray it's attempting to use.
