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.
