Re: Dell 1110 Hi! I have a Dell 1110 Mono Laser Printer with a single rubber roller that is spinning, but unable to engage the paper to place it in position to copy. I have about 6 toner cartridges and really need to keep and use this printer. Currently trying to print resumes and as if it's not frustrating enough to look for employment in this market economy, try finding a job without a printed resume!!! I desperately need to fix this printer without incurring additional expenses right now. Thank you so very much!
Make sure you have plenty of paper in the tray, this may help the printer pick it up. if you don't have lots of paper add an A4 sized magazine, book or old printed paper in there, to full the tray.
Is there a way to manually insert the paper from the back, some printers have this feature.

check the print driver in control panel...... if the correct driver for the printer is not installed, or corrupted, it can send invalid instructions to the printer, but let me check....... ahah! found it..... it's a carriage stall (not the horse kind :-') ) but the print head carriage is jamming for some reason, either there is some grit on the carriage bar, or a missing tooth in the drive belt, or the timing strip is dirty..... the easiest to fix yourself would be to clean the timing strip. the timing strip is a clear plastic tape usually behind or below the carriage bar. it looks like it has a grey horizontal stripe across it (actually it is many tiny vertical black stripes that provide the printer with motion and dot timing information). carefully with a window cleaner soaked paper towel, and without too much pressure (that would unhook one of the ends of the strip)wipe the strip clean on both front and back. also if the printer happens to be in an unlocked condition (you can do this by removing power during the head positioning cycle), try moving the printhead at a moderate speed back and forth along the carriage bar and see if there's anywhere where it binds up or you feel more than normal resistance, the printer needs repair, but at least you can tell the technician where to start looking....

Try enlarging your "Printer Buffer" if you can.. OR maybe you need to set your Parallel Port to a differsnt mode in the BIOS. And/Or try updating your "Drivers" see if this all helps.
SOURCE: What paper jam?
Does the printer even try to pick a piece of paper from the supply tray? If not, then it would appear that a sensor somewhere in the paper path is bad, either mechanically or electronically. Often, these sensors have a lever which touches the paper. If by chance the lever is broken or stuck it won't give a correct message to the logic circuit. If by chance the sensor is electronically defective, it would still give a bad message to the logic, and it would need to be replaced. Logic circuitry could be bad, in which case, replace the printer. With the lowcost printer/all-in-one units these days, it seems fixya has a continual flow of inquiries. Maybe this will give you some help.

There are rubber rollers that grab the paper to pull it through typically these get slick over time and will cause the printer to grab an extra sheet of paper. How I usually fix this problem is to check and see if the rollers are slick if so then I take an Emory board to them to rough them up just a little bit. I have also in the past used clear finger nail polish on the roller and that has helped. I would apply a bit of the clear polish to the roller, if it did not work then I would take the Emory board to it.
SOURCE: Printer won't print and resume light keeps flashing
I went through the HP troubleshooting and it started printing OK when I Stopped and Started the Print Spooling under Administration Services:
-START
-Control Panel
-Administrative Tools
-Services
-Scroll Down & Right Click on Print Spooler, Choose STOP, then OK (if needed)
-Right Click again, choose START, then OK (If needed)
After a few moments, it started right up for me and the Test Page I had in the que.
Hope this helps someone.
85% of paper jams are caused by worn rollers . The rubber treads in the rollers wears down, making them smooth, so they won't pick up the paper. Sometimes, they are aged, which also gives them a smoother rounded texture, causing jams. The quick fix is to liven up that roller with a mixture of alcohol and soap. Damp a rag with the solution and wipe the rollers clean with it. That's make them more pliable and the paper jams will cease. If you plan to keep your printer,
Replace the pick-up and feed rollers.
Metal Tab Separation- Pull out your paper tray and examine either end where the paper sits in. If any of the corners are held down by metal tabs, this is your paper feed system. Chances are, you only have one rubber roller or one set of rollers arranged along side of each other. Reach in where the tray goes and feel up. You should feel some rollers. They might be completely round, or they might be shaped like a half moon. Clean whichever part of them you can with the solution, and this should stop your paper jams. It might be necessary to turn them, but don't force them if they don't move freely.
Pickup Roller and Separation Pad-
If your printer uses this paper feed system, you should see a small piece of flat or slightly curved rubber or cork. It would be towards the end of the paper tray, or deep inside the paper loading cavity on top loaders. This 'separation pad' rubs against the paper feed roller, so if you find the pad, you've found the roller. Clean it and your jams should stop.
Three Roller Paper Separation System- Pull your paper tray out, and look for a roller on either end of it. If you find one, clean it. Then look inside the printer where that roller would rest with the paper tray inserted. You'll find another paper roller there. Clean this one also. Finally, look further back or closer to the front of your printer (depending on which way your paper feeds) to find another roller or set of rollers. Clean all of these, and your paper jams will go away.
