When i pull the paper out, the middle-right corner of the paper has a small cut, from where it jammed into something. I tried turning the printer around and shaking, in case a coin fell in, reaching in whit a kitchen knife that won't actually cut to feel around and with my fingers but nothing seems to be there. Do you think it could be anything of a technical nature? Thanks.	Luppi (12974)

If that doesn't fix it, there is probably nothing stuck. The next thing I'd look at would be the paper feeder mechanism It drives the (eliptical) rubber wheel that feeds the paper thru, and is usualy a type of (plastic) gear, which sometimes "jumps a tooth" - then you will never get it to feed paper again without jamming exactly as you describe, until the gear is again meshed in the right place.	bevy121 (117)
