The thing tells me it's out of paper even when it has paper. It just
doesn't want to grab it.... it doesn't even try. Is this something that
is easily fixed, or do I need to toss the printer?
The head seems to move back an forth just fine, but after it "discovers"
that it has no paper it just sits.

- I assume you've looked for any reed/pin switches, or anything of
that sort. Is there a mechanism on it that is supposed to lift the paper
tray?

I have a DJ520 and with this machine the feed
rollers need to be cleaned
now and then. Also make sure the paper is not upside down too, as one
side is smoother than the other.

No you don't understand. It doesn't even try to load the paper.

I can hear one. I assume that switch is working since the paper light
goes out if I have paper in it, and press the paper button. The
computer still claims that the printer is out of paper, so I'm thinking
it maybe deeper in the printer.
I was hoping that this is a common problem and would have an easy solution.
The paper loading mechanism still doesn't move however.
