Printer not picking up paper to feed

Printer not picking up paper to feed

The printer will not pick up the paper to feed it into the printer. It displays the load paper into main tray message even though there is plenty of paper. It seems like it could be a paper sensor issue.

More likely the rubber has dried out. See if you can find something like this to clean the rollers (don't spray the rollers directly, use a cotton swab, then clean the rollers with it): Rubber Revitalizer

"One drop of superglue on the metal part and repositionning the gear. All seems to be Ok

No screw to remove.

Four hands and a video-microscope will be very usefull !"

This fix worked. Here's another pic. Slide the black gear back onto the metal rod teeth.

Try some vasoline on the rubber. Vasoline tends to swell the rubber thus grabbing the paper
