Printer paper feed mechanism does not work
MAKE SHOER THAT THERE IS NO SMOL BITS OF PAPER ARE STUCK IN THE FEEDER
SOURCE: Paper Mis-Feeding
Check for any pieces of torn paper in the path, especially on the left side. You can also reach into the slot that the paper feeds into and feel each of the rollers behind the plastic cover; they all should turn freely, pay special attention to the wheel to the left.

Hello Bigdave,
I understand how it feels when things don't work.
The error 5700 occurs mainly due to hardware malfunction. The error occurs mainly when the paper sensor stops working or is damaged.
How ever try reseating all the cables and also try uninstalling and reinstalling the software. Hope this works. If the issue persists the only way is to get it serviced.
But I suggest yo to go for a new printer instead of servicing the old one as it costs you more than buying a new one.
Thank you. Best of Luck.

So the feeder woek sometimes, If you have a warranty, bring it back, if not , the printer might have something stuck in his mechanism or a bit of spread ink, open it and check for any weird thing, you can do some cleaning but the mechanism need some greassy spot so do not be too clean
then try a recommanded paper for the printer like 80g for example and no more than 30 new pages to begin.
You can test the printer when open, you just need to push a few switch or button to make it run also you will be able to see where the noise come from.

This seems to be fault in the transport of the paper in the rollers. So if you have used any adhesive sticker printing, it is possible that some glue has got clogged into the rollers. If not there can be some jammed paper in the rollers or the mechanism.
So start this work only if you are mechanically able with the right tools.
Remove the covers to get access to the mechanism . Remove the motor drive assembly , the fitting of the motor to the mechanism. Once this is removed the rollers can be turned manually so that you will be able to feed a paper to see the progress of the movement while studying if there is any obstruction or damage to the paper.
There is a in-detect sensor, usually an opto-coupler , make sure this is not clogged or dirty as this IR detection feeds the signal to the processor for starting the motor drive feed.
Reassemble but make sure the rollers are aligned to be in equal gap to feed the paper without a side pull. Now you must print and see if the fault has changed. If not repeat the above work to confirm the area of obstruction.
