Samsung ML 2010 Won’t Feed Paper
| Filed under: General |
This morning, our Samsung ML 2010 laser printer wouldn’t feed paper. I tried printing a couple of MS Word documents and MS Excel spreadsheets, but the paper would move into the printer around 2 inches, and then stop. And the red On-Line/Error light would switch on.
This is what I did to solve the “paper won’t feed” problem…
I checked if the Samsung ML-2010′s pickup rubber was in place, and it was. Since the toner has been running low for quite some time, I thought that perhaps this paper feed problem can be solved by simply replacing the toner cartridge.
There was some risk, though. What if it doesn’t work? What if I’ll end up spending PhP 3,220 for the toner (at Complink, Robinsons Galleria) and still experience the paper jam problem?
Afterall, wouldn’t the laser printer simply “print” a blank sheet of paper if is was just a “no toner” issue?
Anyway, I popped in a brand new toner cartridge for the Samsung ML 2010, and was able to print my reports easily. Yes, the paper jam problems disappeared!
So if you’re using a similar printer, and you notice that the toner is quite low (for several weeks), don’t be surprised if your printer eventually stops feeding paper. For all you know, it could simply be a toner issue.
Happy laser printing!

Thats odd. The current level of my toner is low and jams often. Exactly like the way you described. Except the jamming began when I had brand new toner…
Try a different brand of paper…
Hi
Had the same problem – low toner, then after a while the red light stayed on and the paper wouldn’t feed – bought new toner and hey presto the printer works like new !! A bit odd as the manual says that there is no low toner sensor – obviously there must be !!
