I've had this printer for a few years now and
it doesn't get used much at all.
I tried printing to an iron-on transfer and the
paper just sat there as the printer tried to load
it - failing with an "out of paper" error.
I've tried normal paper, swapped cartridges,
tried printing test pages of all kinds of things,
flicked the paper/envelope settings, jiggled
it.. everything that can be messed with.

Is it possible that because the printer has
sat idle for so long, dust on the gripper
roller thingamebob (technical term ;-))
is preventing it gripping the paper?

Any other possible causes for the failure
to load paper?

Thanks
hippy

Remove ink cartridges remove cables pick up printer , turn up side
down and shake vigorously - It sorts the problem in about half of the
cases I've seen - normally just a pencil, a piece of packaging etc has
fallen down inside. We have also had someone print with a piece of
sellotape hanging from the page - the sellotape came off inside and
was stopping paper feeding correctly - it was very hard to see even
when the printer was in bits.
