I have the same problem.... trying to use lubricants and done some cleaning, but no luck... till i found out that using an extension cord with several devices plugged in will lessen the amount of current that flows to the devices.. that's why the printer's motor can't able to do his job because of no enough power.... Connect the printer's plug directly to the wall...


it works for me....
