Hi George, First, this is a hardware and/or paper issue. So don't worry about any software issues.
There are a few things you can try to restore paper feed functionality. Paper Change the type of paper you're using. Fan the sheets of paper before inserting into the printer. Change the level of humidity in your home. Printer You have "rollers" responsible for pulling the paper through the printer, some of which you will be able to see and some I suspect you will not be able to see. Rubbing these rollers with a Q-tip dipped in alcohol may remove paper residue and other deposits which may be adhering to the rollers, making them less able to "grip" the paper. Should your efforts fail, there is one place in town that will repair your printer that I'm aware of. There may be other options as well. http://www.serv-sol.com/printerserv.htm If it comes to this, weigh the cost of repair vs the cost of replacing your printer. You may be surprised at the fact that replacement often is cheaper. Good Luck!
