If the gear is broken, you most likely need to replace the pick up roller which is extremely hard or almost impossible. You may try to see if the error is really with the broken gear, or you if you just have a dusty roller that picks up paper by checking if the rollers is actually spinning when it is trying to pick up the paper.
To see what the issue is with gear or roller, try the following:
1. Remove the output paper tray and paper from the loading tray.
2. Send a copy job or print job through.
3. have a flashlight to shine light on the pick up roller and se if it spins. Try touching with your hand to be sure.
4. If the roller spins, put some alcohol on a cloth or paper towel and clean the rubber rollers.
5. Wait a few minutes, load paper and try sending copy job again.
If the roller is not spinning, then you have a problem with gears for sure.

SOURCE: Out of Paper. Load Paper Error

I have the same problem with a new psc 1610. The paper is not grabbed. Their might be a sticky spray for the rubber rollers to help? Handfeeding each page currently (sigh). All else works well though. good luck.

SOURCE: Keep getting "out of paper" error message

Unfortunately this printer and alot of others like it have a very poor paper feed mechanism. I am finding that the (1) small pickup roller that is used in this and other machines like it is failing (not picking paper) prematurely or faster than i think it should (this is looking at page counts on some of these machines). We have been disassembling them and rubber restoring the pickup roller which fixes the paper jam/paper out errors.

SOURCE: HP Officejet 7410 AIO keeps saying out of paper when plenty of paper loaded

I have the same unit. There are many issues with it. First when you install the software you may need to add something to the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Print\Printers\HP Officejet 7400 series\PrinterDriverData and create Key HPDJEnableSecondTray as DWORD with Value of 1

Once you've done this here is the biggest issue and one I've found to fix this issue PERIOD.

You need to go to your Printer Driver then to Properties of it then Device Settings Tab - you will see Form to Tray Assignment in the list and like 5 options, you have to make all but the one you want to NOT AVAILABLE. Example mine is set to Upper than Lower (Letter) all the rest are set to NOT AVAILABLE. Problem solved.

I get broken gear in my hp officejet pro 8500a

Someone pulled hard on jammed paper to remove it from the printer. This has broken the small plastic paper advancing gear on the left-hand side of the printer (have seen this mistake a number of times). The printer is broken and cannot be fixed, and it is time to purchase a new one. What you and everyone needs to learn from this is to NEVER pull hard to remove paper out of your printer. Be careful, and open the access doors to get to it.



We would suggest that you upgrade to an HP 8600 series printer and if you print more than 500 pages per month you purchase an AdaptiveInk continuous ink supply system (CISS). Adaptive Ink Continuous Ink Supply System Home Page Adaptive Ink HP Pigment ERC

Paper Jam HP OfficeJet 8500

etechrepair.jpg Constant jam indication. This gear is more than likely the cause after exhausting all other avenues. Also nearly impossible to get to let alone replace even if HP offered the part. There is a black cover over the clutch assy that can be removed to reveal the gear. In most cases the gear is either sitting in the bottom of the machine or split down one side. This is the second machine that I have diagnosed with this problem in a very short time. If you have this broken gear, consider it toast. Matt / E-tech Copier and printer repair.

Paper feed

Have you tried a different brand of paper?. When choosing the paper try and select one which the sheets can slide easily over each other. I had loads of problems with multiple feeds and paper jams with a cheap paper. I then changed to a heavier 90gsm all in one paper from staples and have had no more problems since.(and i just chuck the paper in straight from the packet with no fanning etc)

Printing error

The above suggestions are the easiest to do first, but I've found that all the mechanisms of the machine work except that the pick-up rollers won't drop down. This is a mechanical error in the cluster of gears that you can see when you open the top cover. If you look through the top left opening you can see the cluster of white gears that sit on a metal plate just below the top metal paper guide. Very carefully give the gears a little squirt of WD40 and move them around with your fingers as much as you can(very small opening and you may have to use a tool, be gentle). There is also a black and white coupling to the left and above these gears that you can push to the left a couple of times to insure that is not binding. Worked for me.
