What's wrong with this printer?

Q: The feeder isn't pulling paper through. It can't seem to grab it. Everything else seems to be working fine, but without paper, the printer isn't good for much. Anyone know what's wrong? Yeah sorry, it's an Epson Stylus CX3200 All-In-One Inkjet. Also, there aren't any paper jams.

A: Often times that problem is due to dirty pickup rollers. Take our the paper, and tray if possible, take a cloth/rag dampened with warm water (you can also try alcohol if the water doesn't work, but it tends to dry the rollers out over time) and rub down the pickup rollers surfaces as best you can. You can usually manually move the rollers around by hand on most printers, but if there is too much resistance, best not to try too hard. Hopefully that will do the trick. Best of luck.
