Hi, this is not a cartridge related problem. As you have written, it is related to the paper misfeed. When removing any future paper misfeeds, always take extra caution as not to destroy the paper sensor. If it jammed near the paper tray area, first open the right cover to see the paper, the try to pull it slowly till it comes out. Never try to force it out as you may tear a small piece which will show you that a misfeed is still on. If it does tear, carefully remove it until its out. If it jams on the fusing unit, release the side levers on the copier or turn the green rotating lever on the front which appears when front cover is open until it ejects it out.

If you are sure there is no jammed paper, make sure the spring on right side of fusing unit, where there is a sensor is retracted to its position. Good luck pal.

There's a hidden sensor lever under the white guides behind the platen roller. Either a scrap of paper is holding it up, or it could be bent from pulling out a jam. It is a black lever behind the platen roller slightly to the right of center. You may need a shop to repair.
