I have a samsung CLp-300 that is not loading the paper and shows a jamming error all the time.
First the paper does not go into the drum...it stops just before entering the first set of rollers. I see nothing jammed or stopping the paper from going in.
The rubber roller that load the paper looks a bit dry....that is all.
Printing a demo page is not a problem....it always goes trough..but printing from the computer is a pain. It shoes that stupid error 8 out of 10 times before the paper finally goes trough and prints.
Can anybody tell me where the stupid sensor is..or how the fix it??

As I have encountered this problem, I have repositioned the printer in conjunction with the surface upon which it rests. I have successfully printed about 7K pages although at this time my Printer Driver or Properties settings only permit Draft and grayscale modes. Perhaps the signal through this old affordable usb cable is limited? I have reinstalled the software though I have not uninstalled prior to install again.
Does repositioning your printer enhance stable performance? Please let me know. Thank you.

I am having this same issue. I have moved the printer around and it does seem to affect it but for me it was in a bad way. Before only a few of the pages wouldn't print. Now all of them stop before entering the rollers.

If your printer was manufactured before Jan of this year the paper pickup tyre (JC73-00211A)was probably probably fitted with the fine tread facing in the wrong direction. This caused premature wear and increased paper jams. Change the tyre and fit correctly. This will apply to CLP-300/350, CLX-2160/3160 models.

probably roller rubber pick-up is the problem what right facing for rubber toward paper is: 'rough side' or 'fine side'? on most printers rubber is factory fitted with 'fine side' toward paper because friction is better but problem occurs when rubber become streched

I have a very low use CLP-300. The paper has started to jam every time in the same place. It makes it to the top rollers just before it goes out. I hear something that sounds like it hits the top rollers instead of going under them. I have to open the rear door and pull out the paper.

I am having the same problem. I called Samsung but was out of warranty by 1 month. They told me the name of the part, but for what they quoted me, i just as soon buy an HP. Mine works about 20% of the time. Did you ever get yours going?

this is not uncommon with clp 300. we did the toothbrush and water, to clean the residual paper dust off the roller, otherwise, it needs a new roller..access from rear of print.

I just thought i'd write this quickly, incase i can help anyone else out. Had this printer for almost 2 yrs now, stopped using it after the first year. Went back to it about 6 months ago and it wouldnt print anything. Today I really needed to sort it out because I bought a new imac and wanted to connect it to a printer. Been looking through the internet all today trying to work out what was wrong. Symptoms were: red light on after attempting to print, roller seemed to attempt to pick up paper but then couldn't pull it through. The toner waste bottle was completely full, so I washed that out and made sure it was completely dry before putting back. Then I sprayed a lot of wd40 on the far end of the top piece of paper, then it rolled through. However after that, paper would still not come through! Took the paper tray out, turned the printer upside down & put a decent amount of wd40 on a paper towel and wiped all of the roller, the clips around it as well in case they were stiff. Don't know if its just cos of being upside down, or if the wd40 actually worked, but it is NOW PRINTING!! Hope this helps someone!

I have that same problem. I found that certain papers will not feed, 99% of the time. I changed to different paper brand, thickeness etc and it works 100% of the time now. It was driving me NUTS.......i'm so happy that it likes this paper now. I"m using 25lbs white laser paper STaples store brand. It's perfect now.

Be careful when using WD-40. The majority of it is a type of solvent, with a little bit of mineral oil added. The rollers have been cleaned by the solvent, so now you paper will feed fine, but after it evaporates, the mineral oil will be left behind, thus making the roller slippery again, and the oil might also attack the rubber rollers. A better substance to use is rubber rejuvenator, which is sold on this site.
