SOURCE: won't feed paper
I had the same problem it was not feeding paper, and was giving the out of paper msg, I checked and the feed roller ( small black one in contact with paper) was not rotating, Also when the back cover is removed the roller also did not rotate. I took apart the printer and found that a white gear with the encoder disc (clear film with printed lines) on the central shaft was slighty broken, The shaft is knurled but is a poor design. I had to drill through the gear and the shaft to fit a pin to be able to fully secure the gear to the shaft. Kevin

Try using a cloth (not a paper towel) with some water on it and clean the feed rollers. Also no alcohol.
Testimonial: "Thanks but it still didn't help. "
SOURCE: My inkjet printer is not feeding paper properly.
I would check for little bits of paper stuck on the roller. Did you have a paper jam prior to this problem? Using a good flash light, look for, and remove any little pieces that you might find.
