My printer is making all the sounds it should for it to print and you can hear the rollers trying to pick up the paper, and the paper tray is full. After the rollers stop the display shows up saying that it is out of paper. But I have looked and there is no jam and like I said the paper tray is full but not to full. I have trouble shooted what the computer help section told me to do but it still does the same thing. Anyone have any suggestions cause i can't afford a new one and I am ready to throw this one out the window.......please I will try anything.

It sounds as if the printer is on its way to the Big Trashcan in the Sky.
Try printing with only one sheet in the tray and helping the paper on its way. The feed rollers might just pick the sheet up and allow you to print (although tediously) one sheet at a time until you get a chance to replace it.

maybe there is too much paper for the printer to pick it up, try reducing the amount of paper you have there. just put a couple of pages in there and see if it works then. is the printer new or old?? if it is newish, then you might be able to take it back or send it to headquarters and say its faulty. if its an old one, then the sensors may be dirty and cannot read that there is paper there. try giving it a bit of a clean up.
