Is there a clicking noise accompanying this problem? We had this problem and solved it by opening the panel on the left hand side and removing the cover on the cogs. The issue was a screw that had become lose and fallen out of the cog which regulates paper feed. it is the only cog with a screw so should be easy to find.

It can be that the paper drawing mechanism of the roller and the geared drive has an issue, possible that the motor has a play with the roller out of alignment , producing a difference of gap in the roller settings. If so the paper will be drawn into in different lengths so as to jam with the uneven pulling.
My 1720dn had a paper
need to clear jam and then make sure all sensor wires are free and working...It should not jam from low paper...
I replaced the drum on
First check for jammed papers/paper and restart the Printer. Now remove all the cartridges and drum, turn off the machine and leave the door open. Unplug both the usb cable and power cord from the machine. Clean all the chips and the contacts on the printer using a soft cloth/cotton dipped in alcohol or acetone or spirit. After everything is ready, install the drum while you press the "Cancel" button (it must be with the X sign on it), and install the cartridges one by one while you press the Cancel button.
If the problem persists, let me know.
Good luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.
Dell 1720 DN- all lights
try to turn off the printer, remove the power cord, then press the power button for about 5 secs. plug it back, turn it on. If same thing, press the cancel button for about 10 secs. if still the same, try to check the cartridges, remove them and make sure they are not yet empty, shake them a few times, then connect them back. Make sure no paper jam as well.

flash in sequence, after that, you may need to turn off and turn on the
printer and test it again..
