Printer says Out of Paper, but has Paper
If you have enough paper in the printer’s in-tray, but your printer still says that it is Out of paper, try the following suggestions: Let’s get into the details of the solutions.
1] Make sure the printer is not overstacked with papers
If you stuff the printer with more and more papers than it can handle, you can see the error. You need to make sure the papers are set in proper limits and can be easily pickable by the printer.
2] Check if the paper has any damaged corners
The papers that are stacked in the printer should be clear without damage or folds. Make sure the papers are in good condition and remove the papers that look bad. Also, align the paper correctly in the printer according to the lines on the printer.
3] Clean the paper rollers
The condition of the paper rollers of your printer should be good. Clean them and make sure they don’t have any dust or anything on them.
4] Reset the printer
You need to reset the printer if the issue is not yet fixed. To reset the printer, disconnect the power chord from the printer as well as the power socket. Wait for a minimum of 15 seconds and reconnect them. Then, turn on the printer and see if the error has disappeared.
5] Adjust the paper settings in the print driver

You need to adjust the paper size settings in the Print properties while you are printing. Set the size of the document paper size that matches with the printer paper size. These are the different ways you can use to fix the error when the printer says out of paper but has paper.
