This might just be a mechanical problem. There's either a sensor or little mechanical switch in the paper tray that tells the printer if there is paper in the tray. Since you've had your printer for 2 years it might be a good idea to try to clean it out a little. I don't know what model, but see if you can gentlly clean around inside the paper tray with a cue-tip or soft brush, or whatever you can come up with. I would try taking the cover off and really cleaning out the insides with whatever home made tools I could come up with. Repost the model and it would be easier to suggest a way to clean it.
