Accidently listed under wrong model. This is an OKI B4300 printer, which I have had for several years.
I found a solution suggested by some-one else in November
This is an OKIB4300
I opened top, removed toner/drum. On your left, in front, there is metal roller held by springs. Plastic strip is just in front of this. Two square windows under plastic strip should look dark.
In my case, the Left "window "was white. This was a very small piece of paper which also extended under a small, moveable magnetic switch to the far left. I removed this paper by grabbing it (next to the switch) with a pair of surgical forceps, gently twisting it until it could be pulled out. No need to remove any parts. It now is fixed!
Thanks again this site really helped me.
I fixed this problem in february 2008 as I described in the previous comments. It is still working perfectly on October 10, 2008.
