The mechanism won't even grab the tape.I even tried to feed thin cardboard stock into the machine without luck.Please advise
SOURCE: Paper does not feed - GRABS RIGHT SIDE
I once had a similar problem a few months ago and I tried EVERYTHING I could do (Without shaking the printer, I was scared to do that) nothing worked, till I actually got up on a chair and looked into my printer (It is up on a rise above my computer) and there was a push pin sitting in the feeder opening! (Remove pushpin = then it was fine)
Then it started doing it AGAIN yesterday at a time when I really needed my printer, and this time there was no obvious pushpin or any obvious obstruction. I read all the stories here and thought *WOW they had things that far in there?!" So I tried harder and FINALLY after opening the back panel I saw with a flashlight there was a FROOTLOOP (I don't even HAVE any frootloops in my dorm! XD) jammed in the right side inside it! With a chopstick I was able to get it out and now it's fine again. OMG.
But yea, things like to get stuck in printers I guess. XD

Open the front door and look inside, where the cartridges are installed. Make sure that the carriage is moving freely and doesn't get locked.

If there printer is not able to print on card stock then check the recommend
card stock paper thickness, if the printer works with normal paper but not card stock then there is problem in the card stock and by using this paper may also damage the rollers on the printer and make the printer useless ...
Good luck...
Also check to make sure the dogs are engaging when the cord is pulled. If not manually move the dogs in and out they might be stuck.
If not look at the pulley surface to see if the teeth are still pronounced
and able to engage if they are rounded off you will need to replace
the gear.
