When trying to print a document, the paper goes in crooked. Then my printer says there's no paper.
Of course, there is plenty of paper and it's straight before headed to the printer.
Re: When trying to print a document, the paper goes in...
If it goes in crooked, there could be a slight paper jam. Take the top off or open it up anyways and check the feed roller to make sure it is not sticky or jammed.

Does this happen when you using the document feeder?? Try placing the original document on the big glass see what happens might be you document feeder needs to be adjusted or the original document is hitting a obstruction in the path as it is being scanned. Does it print OK? Vise copy?
It could be that your cartridge needs cleaning. On your computer, go to Start menu > Programs / All Programs > Lexmark 6100 Series > Lexmark Solution Center. Go to Maintenance tab > select Clean to fix horizontal streaks. Your printer will then print a page forcing ink through the cartridge nozzles and clean them. Try to print your document again and determine if the problem is fixed.
first determine if its the paper feed by printing several copies off the glass not using the document feeder. If they are crooked coming from there check the paper cassette and make sure the side quides are snug against the stack. That is the usual problem.
Does this happen when printing from the cassette (bottom tray), or the sheet feeder in the back, or both? Check that the paper guides are set snugly (touching but not buckling the paper) against the edges of the paper.
Solutions: 1. Slide
the paper-width adjuster against the left side of the paper stack, and
2. make sure that the rear access door in the back is fully “locked”.
As "Guest" posted on Feb 05, 2009 the problem for me was the box in the back of the printer that facilitates double sided printing. One side had come loose. I was getting "Paper Mismatch" errors, and the text was printing slanted. I simply pulled the box out and reinstalled it. Problem solved.
