rollers not picking up the paper to print

I really don't know for sure about the Rollers. I ordered the 4 of the Color Cartridges and the 8 packages of Paper from Austin Texas Booksat 3904 Oak Creek Dr, Austin, Tx 78727. They might be able to help.

I've had that happen and would have to give the paper a little push with my finger. Also found it didn't do that if I didn't load much paper.

If your printer will not picking up the paper to print, try a cue tip dipped in alcohol and clean the roller or rollers on the printer. Fan the paper out to keep it from sticking to each other in the tray. I hope this will help you.

There should be white plastic rollers inside, which apply the pressure needed to hold the papers, etc. Mine work great, so perhaps you received a defective item.

Sandy, this is a good printer, but before investing, contact Brother and find out if the paper curl can be remedied. There is a setting to "reduce paper curl" in the options menu of the printer, but it does not seem to fix the problem for me. It appears as though the roller location causes the paper to make a tight turn and therefore causes any type of paper to curl.

There should be white plastic rollers on the inside that roll down and pinch the paper once it is slipped into the rail. Pull the black end cap off and see if the rollers are jammed.

Wouldn't think it would be the cartridge. Check the rollers inside for ink buildup or debris that would keep it from running the paper through normally. :)

Mine jammed after i folded a piece of printer paper twice to make the work faster. After I unjammed it (which is really hard to do) i stuck with regular printer paper and construction paper.

I had same problem. There was no fix after working with Kodak technician. Printer had worked flawlessly for two years. Technician offered a free refurbished printer (same print cartridges but no fax) with 90 day warrantee...I pay shipping cost...$10. This print head jam seems to a common problem. It is not a paper issue.

Try opening the printer settings from the computer. Also try the settings from the printer itself. Maybe try shutting it off and on.

Likely dust from cheap paper has coated the roller. take a moist cloth (not wet - no drips!) and wipe down all paper pickup pads and rollers.

I have printed lighter card-stock on mine before. It would still need to wrap around the roller, so the super heavy stuff might be a problem.

My PIXMA MP500 wonj't accept the paper for printing. Anyone know what is wrong?

I don't know. I haven't had any problems with the paper not feeding through the printer.

I use rolls of ordinary adding machine paper. It takes no special paper and prints out just fine. I'm really pleased with mine. I bet you will be, too, if you get one.

I had a similar problem, and discovered a tiny piece of paper blocking the paper entry slot. I was able to remove it by passing through the paper entry site a very thin piece of plastic sheeting back and forth through every area of the entry slot to push out, what I then discovered was the tiny piece of paper that was 'jamming' the 'roller from revolving and grabbing a sheet to print. It corrected the problem and my printing began again.

I've been having the same problem with cardstock. It would just feed through blank. I went into the Setup menu --> Printer Setup --> Paper Source Settings --> Paper Configuration and turned it OFF. After that, the cardstock has been running through just fine.

I finally called a copier repair person for this problem. He had a easy, but counterintuitive, solution. Clean the paper feed roller with WD40. He explained why it worked (which I don't remember), but it certainly did work. Wipe off any excess of course.
