Samsung printer ML-2240.
If I load up with say 100 sheets x A4 it will print ok around 75 pages
then it stops picking up the paper, If I top up the paper again to
100 sheets it starts picking up again and stops around the 75 sheet
count.

Any thoughts on what to check on?

It normally indicates that the rubber pickup rollers are losing some
"grip". A good clean with soapy water can help. Also get rid of any
paper dust floating about in the printer.

If that does not fix it, or if the roller looks knackered, then you
can get replacements. (ebay etc will leave you change from a fiver!)

There are some youtube vids on the actual change.

I've just cleaned the pick-up roller on my HP1320. FWIW I found IPA
worked better than water (but test a small area first).

Yup, IPA will work - it does depend a bit on why it's losing grip - if
it's dirt and dust or the rubber is hardening a bit, then soapy water or
a mild cleaning product of some form will work ok IME (the "Foam
Cleanser" type aerosols are quite good as well).

If its greasy or has similar contaminants, then IPA will clean it better.
