Printer is stuck after half the paper is fed inside

Does the paper bunch up at one side or does the paper stop going in while the rollers are still spinning with out bunching up? If the paper bunches up anywhere you may have to look carefully inside the area where the paper feeds through. I have seen many printers do this because an object of some type fell in. This can be a pen cover, paper clip or even a really small piece of crumpled up paper like a gum wrapper. Sometimes it may seem clean inside, but from my experience there was something in the way of the paper being properly fed through.

If the paper just stops feeding and the rollers keeps spinning for a little bit it may be that the rollers are dry and need to be revitalized. A dry roller has little to no grip.
