I used to have problems with printers until a repairperson told me
once that the sensors will not-operate correctly if a little bit
of dust gets on them (ergo detect jams that aren't there).

In liu of a full cleaning (which should be done peridically) I
used to just blow into the mechanism and that cleared up the
problems. Some machines have dust sensors built in which
are designed to make you keep the machine clean.
