The paper doesn't pick-up when it goes to print. That is pretty much it. I here it come on and it goes through its little routine but from the sound I can tell it is not picking up the paper. I've been able to shut off the printer a couple of times and get it to do a couple of pages but that is it.
If you can pull the paper drawer out and reach your hand up where the feed rollers turn and grab the paper, you can use a damp cloth or rag (water) DAMP, not wet. scrub the rollers and that may help with the feeding issues.

ABOUT HALF THE TIME, THE PRINTER DOESN'T GRAB PAPER TO PRINT, OR IT GRABS IT HALF-WAY. ONE THING IT MIGHT BE IS A LITTLE THING IN THE PAPER TRAY THAT HOLDS THE PAPER TIOGHT - PART OF IT BROKE OFF, SO THAT IT'S NOT SNUG IN THE TRAY. DO YOU SELL THAT LITTLE PLASTIC PART?? THANKS, R GEISLER
