I have a Samsung CLP-300 printer and I can't figure out why the paper consistently jams when it's about 20% out of the tray. My best guess is that there is something wrong with a thin plastic piece that appears to be part of the feeder mechanism. Help.

THIS MAY SEEM LIKE A CHEESY REPAIR BUT IT ONLY TAKES A SECOND AND IT WORKED ON TWO OF MY CLP 300's. CUT A PIECE OF 3/8" PLYWOOD TO 6" X 9" AND PUT UNDER THE PAPER FEED TRAY END. IT WILL APPLY JUST A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF UPWARD PRESSURE ON THE TRAY, PAPER WILL THEN FEED WITH NO PROBLEM.

In my case, the rubber roller that gets the paper was dirty with dust. It drifted over the end of the sheet and the paper gets jammed.
well, this is what I did:
1- turn off and remove power cable; 2- remove paper drawer; 3- remove image unit - don not let it under sun light. cover it. 4- put the printer upside down; 5- look at the axle of the big central rubber roller:
5.1- you will see both sides have a plastic balancer and locker. 5.2- left one has a small "finger" that locks it from slide. 5.3- take your cellphone and do a photo of the present position of the axle and the pieces as you will need to remember it after.
6-light and carefully, lift this small finger from the axle and slide the locker half inch to the center; 7- after this, you have the axlee in a so so free way. You can move (rotate) it, if you lift and free the inside gear at left end; 8- at the central drumm, there is two locks, one each side. If you release them, you can remove a type of a plastic shell with the rubber belt attached to. 8.1- to unlock the shell you need to rotate the axle and position the locks in a convenient way. So, rotate it again, and so, remove the shell. 9-I removed the rubber belt, washed it with water only. when repositioning the belt on the shell, observe it and put in a different position, as the slick area fits inside the shell, so a new surface is out. 10- mount it a reverse order.
Hope this can help. You can write me at ehisatugo )at( gmail dot com. regards
Euclides.

@ Euclides: Thanks a bunch! It was a bit tricky to understand based on only text instructions, but I managed to reposition the rubber belt (just made the axel turnable so I could loosen the belt holder). And now it works as new again. B t w didn't have to remove the belt or wash it, just repositioned as mentioned. Thanks again!

The procedure to print is that it feeds about 25 percent into tray then it waits on th imaging belt to align with edge of paper after images have been made unto belt then it prints out. You may have some trouble in the imaging unit (piece of paper)
Remove front toner carrage (the whole unit slides out with waste container. Unplugg all connectors power usb flip unit on its back. with a flashlight look at imaging belt unit before you remove it. It sort of snaps and slides out be sure to remember how you took it out took me 30 min to figure out. Do your self a favor buy a can of air so you can blow the whole thing out in a safe place. Good luck.

There is something wrong with my CLP-300, I've tried everything from restarting the computer, replacing the usb cable, used different usb ports, installing the driver, uninstalling the driver. but none of these seem to help the computer find the printer. usually i could plug in a printer, it would come up with "found new hardware" and i would install the driver for the printer but in this case the computer doesn't even find the printer. can someone please help me try and diagnose what the problem is?
Thanks John

Be careful! Had problems with documents printing about a half inch before the paper fed through. Got tired of putting a half inch margin on the top of every page to compensate. Followed the directions, got the rubber band off, and put back. Turned the printer on, heard some gears grinding, and now printer will not pull up any paper. Plan on trading this POS in, getting $50 towards an HP.
