SOURCE: Paper Jam...grinding noise

The print head lock is probably not retracting. Look for the white plastic block that pokes through from the paper feed side just in front of the head. Push it in with your finger and move the head to the middle by hand. Now turn the machine on. Then turn it off using the correct method. Then turn it on once more. If it starts grinding again, you screwed the feed mechanism when tugged out the jammed paper (probably pulled it backward through the feed instead of making it go forward and out the correct exit). If this is the case, you may as well bin it. If it in warranty, you can try to get a claim for repair.

SOURCE: EPSON R300 PRINTER NOT FEEDING PAPER INTO MACHINE.

Take all the paper out,Make sure non of the paper is folded under on the stack. check the paper-feed area for debris,(papreclips, staples post it notes etc).

Check the tray and its guides are secure and it the correct positions.

Open the machine check the paper path for debris, bits of paper or anything the looks out of place.

Once you have checked and cleared everything, close uo the machine and try again.

If you are inclined, you can clean the paper rollers with alcohol.

Hope this is of some help

SOURCE: Epson RX680 Scanner Error msg and noise

If you only purchased it on the 8/9/09 then it is still under guarantee so the cheapest fix is return it for replacement.

I guess the pickup roller is stuck because I can't spin the green part of it. the printer has been noisy lately, with grinding noise and jamming paper often but today really got stuck completely. Can...

sorry bout the delay :(
the "grinding noise" only means that some parts/gears that is unfortunately inaccessible to users are either not lining-up or worst have loose teethes and ultimately causing the paper jams.
do you have any error from the LCD panel display? what number or code does it show?
refer to this guide:ftp://download.epson-europe.com/pub/download/289/epson28944eu.pdf#

if the issue is (obviously based on your description how the printer is performing) beyond what is shown in the guide above, go to the repair services section on this page:http://www.epson.co.uk/Printers-and-All-In-Ones/Laser/Epson-EPL-N2550/Drivers-Support#

that is one sturdy printer but sometimes paper jams initiates rollers and paper feeders mis-alignment that causes more paper jams and worsening the issue.

I have a "printer error"

sometimes the paper can get stuck way at the back of the machine out of sight and it might be all crinkled up and stuck , the noise that you are hearing at start up is probably the rollers going through a pre-spin check that identifies problems like a paper jam etc you will have to remove any covers and expose as much of the internals of the machine as possible and open and trays and compartments that will allow you to use a torch to inspect the paper route and follow it path

I have a epson artisan 800 I'm tring to fax from the automatic feeder but it keeps making a grinding sound and then it says paper jam but paper never even went through

I took apart my artison 800 with 'paper jam' error and grinding noise. Sadly enough, it is the plastic gear attached to the stepper motor which is slipping and making the grinding noise. I tried to glue it and it worked once or twice and failed again. It is a design flaw and Epson should repair this for free if they are honest about this problem. Ir is not a user-caused problem.
