One of the small metal serrated wheels (part of the light colored metal strip that holds these wheels against the larger rubber wheels, and between which the paper is guided to the exit port) has been partially dislodged from its position. If I can remove the light colored metal strip, I could possibly get the little metal serrated wheel back in its slot. Thanks.

Same problem here. Went thru a few tests with Lexmark but didnt help. They next said it would be best to get new one since repair cost would be higher. Thru front door I do see a spring that moves freely. That must be broke. After their help they sent email for 20% off.

My printer is constantly getting jammed, spitting out blank sheets of paper in between every printed sheet, clicking and snapping, etc.
There are a few places to check for a jam - pull the paper drawer out and check there, take the toner cartridge out and you'll often find a sheet there that you cannot see from any other angle, open the little compartment at the back and check there and the usual paper sticking out of the output just enough to pull it out the rest of the way.
Good luck!
I'll be looking for a new printer this week though. I can't take the constant paper jams and sifting out the blank sheets when I'm printing 500+ statements a month.
Definitely NOT an office friendly machine!

check for anything obstructing the path of the paper..usually something very tiny! and clean the rollers with toothbrush & water.

The problem sounds like your rollers have lost their grip. Remove the paper tray and tip the printer up. Push the red lever on the left of the printer down and you will see the feed mechanism with two wheels. Remove the rubbers on the wheels and turn them inside out. Replace them on the wheels with the worn side now inside and the 'sticky" side out. You should get at least another couple of years worth of use before you need to replace them.
Check the Encoder Strip (metallic) that runs the length of the printer in the back of the carriage. If it is loose the carriage will not line up correctly in the printer and cause the lights to flash. On the inside right of the printer behind where the carriage sets when you change the ink look to see if the metallic encoder strip has come off the hook. If so simply reattach it to the little metal hook and the printer should start working again.
