I have this HP laser printer which senses the presence of a paper
butwhen I want to make a test print the machine does not pick the
paper. The printer will initialie alright but just @ the momment it
has to pick the paper all the motors ceases all the 3 LEDs on the
front will light up. no switch on the pannel will work @ this momment
unless the printer is unpluged. When it is pluged back the same
problem as stated above happens again.

Hi Kofi,
if you own a HP LaserJet there is sometimes this picking problem. As far as
I know, there is a kit available from HP (for free) which can solve this
problem.Visit the HP Homepage for further details.

I bet it's a 5 or 6L. These machines have a known problem with paper feed
due to faulty manufacture of the feed rubbers. HP used to provide a kit free
of charge to fix it but the fix doesn't last all that long.
fixyourownprinter.com also stock parts to fix this as well as a tutorial
video.
