There is nothing in the way of the rollers

Laser printers do not use Ink. The problem is most likely a defect on the drum, which in this model printer, is part of the toner cartridge. Replace the black toner cartridge with a known good one and test.

Hello there,
Since you are not able to grab the paper from behind the printer. It make sense to believe that a major part of the trailing edge of the paper is still inside the printer. I would suggest you to open the front cover, remove the toner cartridge and check out if you could try removing the paper from inside. If this doesn't help you might want to remove the redrive assembly (the back portion of the printer) which can be taken off by removing two little screws on it. These screws are located very close to the backdoor which you opened up. Once you remove the screws, press either sides of the latch which is present on the top of the redrive assembly. Hope this helps!
Merry Christmas!

SOURCE: How do you clean the rollers?
One common cause of paper feed issues is a build up of dust on the
printer's rear paper feed roller. This roller consists of a plastic
axle white roller. This is located in the automatic sheet feeder and is
referred to as the "Pick Roller." As dust builds up on the rubber
rollers, they become less tacky and therefore unable to grab a single
sheet of paper.
To prevent and/or cure this type of paper feed problem, these rubber
rollers should be cleaned. Unplug the printer's power cord and remove
the paper from the automatic sheet feeder. Please remove the paper
access door from back of the printer and clean the white rollers inside
with a cloth dampened with warm water (be sure there is no excess water
on the cloth as it may drip into the machine). After these are free of
any dust, close the paper access door. Reload the paper and plug the
power cord back in. The paper should then feed normally.
Next, try this printer self-test by following the steps given below:
1. Make sure the printer is in “Copy Mode.”
2. Press the “Menu” button once.
3. The screen will display “Copy Menu: Copies”.
4. Press the left arrow button once. The screen will display “Copy Menu: Tools”.
5. Press the check button once. The screen with read “Tools: Maintenance”.
6. Press the check button once. The screen with read “Maintenance: Ink Levels”.
7. Press the right arrow button until the screen reads “Maintenance: Print Test Page”.
8. Press the check button once. This will start the Self-Test. Once the
page has printed, the printer will stop. The test is not continuous.
The self-test should at least print out a set of either a solid black
or solid color bars, if not both (if you have a printer with both color
and black installed simultaneously). Should this test fail, please try
it again without cartridges installed. If the self-test still fails to
take paper in and make sounds like the carrier is moving across the
paper, this is a hardware issue, and the printer will require service.
If the self-test completes without any cartridges installed, run the
self-test again with only a color cartridge installed (If you have both
black and color cartridges, after this test, run the test again with
just the black cartridge installed). If you find that either cartridge
causes the self-test to fail, please let us know.
If the self-test prints, but has lines or smudges or other print
quality issues, please let us know. This includes any print quality
issues - we need to know if the problems you have with your black or
color are based in the printer, or communications with your computer,
or the computer's software.
If the self-test prints your test bar(s) clearly, the printer hardware is not at fault.

SOURCE: paper feed won't pick up
The paper pick up fingers and rollers get smooth and polished with use and then slide on the paper. Clean the rollers and pick mechanisms with isopropyl alcohol to rejuvenate them and restore their grip on the paper. Do this as far along the paper path as you can get, using Q Tips where necessary and turn the rollers to clean their whole surfaces.
Cassette (Tray 2) paper pickup and feed rollers
To remove the paper pickup and feed rollers
1 Remove the cassette.
2 Locate the two rollers on the bottom of the paper pickup unit (above the cassette). The pickup
roller is the smaller roller, and the feed roller is the larger roller.
3 Pinch the tab on the end of the cassette pickup roller (callout 1), and pull the roller out.
4 Pinch the tab on the end of the cassette feed roller (callout 2), and pull the roller out.
Figure 6-24 Removing the cassette pickup and feed rollers
Note Always replace the cassette pickup roller and the cassette feed rollers at the same time. Also replace
the separation roller (located in the paper cassette) when replacing these rollers
