After you check the printer to make sure there aren't any tiny bits of paper in the rollers, try cleaning the paper feed rollers. FIRST remove paper. click Start> click Devices & printers> find your printer& select it with one click. then right click & select printing preferences. > under features tab click printer services button> click paper feed cleaning button... this may take several minutes, and may ask you to insert paper near the end. IF THOSE don't work, try doing a reset.... While printer is on, unplug the power from the back. wait 30 seconds, then plug back in. turn on the printer if it doesn't turn on automatically. if your error message goes away, test the printer. Hope this helps!

If Printer Services does not fix your printer feed problems, unplug the printer and remove paper from paper tray. turn printer around so you can access the back opening near the bottom . Remove roller cage by pressing on a rounded tab you can clearly see. While pressing tab to the right like the arrows on the cage suggest, lift the cage out towards rear of printer. the right side will follow letting two alignment pins, ease out of their slots and the cage is removed. Dont be scared. It is simple to remove. Set cage aside Now get some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip. Looking in where the cage was about two to three inches in there is a black rubber roller. . This is the one that fails. Using the q-tip and solution swab the entire roller sort of back and forth until you have cleaned the whole roller . put the cage back in plug in and try to feed paper through it again. repeat process again. It is really easy and you can save time and money No guts no glory. you can do it.
Good Luck

Mary, your fix will no doubt fix many peoples problems. The only reason I added the bit that I did was in some printers with lots of use you will have to clean it manually. Good write up.

Telling me to look 3 inches in for a black rubber roller was the crucial information I needed. It worked!! After an hour of troubleshooting, I wish I found this answer first.

The feed cleaning utility did not work for me (cleaned 4x). Easy fix: Unplug printer, open the back panel, dip q-tip in rubbing alcohol, reach in and scrub the 1 first feed roller, wait 10 mins for the alcohol to dry, then print!

I had the same error message “Out of Paper” when the paper tray is full.
I looked inside the front of the printer and black rubber roller that pulls a sheet of paper thru the feeder had a white film on it. I sprayed some contact cleaner on the roller and let it dry. I repeated this process about three times.
It’s working fine now. Not sure why I had this problem with a new out of the box printer.
I bought it on eBay, so no telling how old the printer actually is and what temperatures it was exposed to.
Hope this helps someone as well!

Adding this answer as a note if any of the roller cleaning procedures do not help: If the printer has a high page count or you've had it new for 10+ years (remember, this is relative; 13k may be nothing on a surplus office grade monochrome laser like an MS621, but 13k is a LOT on a cheap low-end inkjet like this) the rollers may be tired or cracked. HP integrates them such the rollers are part of a major assembly on many of these inkjets, totaling them out; they tend to be built into the platten. Rubber rejuvenator may give you a little more runtime if your rollers are shot, but you're putting lipstick on a pig. It's probably still worth trying, but it's a patch, not a real fix.
