something is obstructing the rollers.something such as an office pin or pen/cock or any other thing might have fallen inside.open the machine and clear the jam.
I will do first a full printer cleaning, that mean take off all dust and anything can that can be inside the printer (ex.bugs and dirt accumulation). Second try to locate the printer rollers and check if they are in good condition.Printer rollers need to be in good condition because those are the parts that move the paper inside the printer. Also when you feed the papers into the feeder make sure you air the paper so they don,t stick together.
go to the control panel and then printers and fax. double click your printer and click on the tab and button to "clean print heads". after doing this, click on "align print cartridges". this will fix the streaking problem you have
The Dell toner cartridge contains toner, the corona wire, the drum assembly and the developing roller. Another words its pretty much self contained and nothing fragile around it. Obviously I'm not suggesting hammer and a chisel but you can pull to your content. However, unplug the printer as the fuser which melts the toner to the paper is still in the printer and it heats up to 140C to 230C so don't stick hand inside too far. Fuser is located behind the cartridge. Good luck and if this helps please submit your vote.
If the issue is occuring in the same place on all prints, try the imaging drum (can't remember if this printer even uses one) or the transfer belt/roller (not sure which it uses). If you phone Dell support, they should run you through troubleshooting and send you either of those parts free of charge if you are under warranty. If not, buy them anyways; they don't degrade over time (if kept in the dark) and can be saved for when the currently installed one runs out if you don't need it to fix this issue.
Below are the various sizes and types of paper supported by your printer. Make sure you donnot load the tray beyond the maximum limit , otherwise the rollers may not pull the paper correctly

but using some detective skills I've decided you are using a HP machine
Yup Dirty damaged worn feed roller but what model machine is it they are all different but pull out tray 2 cassette all the way and look in, there is probally a cylinder like rubber roller 5cm wide front centre of where cassette slides in, there might be roller on the cassette too at the front center as well.
Most modern printers feed rollers just slide off after lifting small plastic tabs on them and gently pulling, feed rollers are available but you can sometimes also get results by cleaning them with a dash of metho or water on a rag.
If paper feeds 2wo sheets at once then you need to change the seperation pad/roller too.
