Have a HL-2040 printer that worked fine till this morning.

The light for paper comes on.
There is no paper jam.
The paper I use is the same as before. ex Costco.
Tried a few sheet of InkJet paper, but the results the same.
Paper starts to feed and stops.
OR
The paper feeds and goes through, but stops just as almost finished.
Have to open up and pull through to clear.

My question

Is this a feeder problem.
Still get crisp clean copies.

Tried a 24 page pdf file, result was 8 pages came through but page 9 stopped almost complete. after restart, got 4 pages. before stopping with paper almost through.

Any input would sure be appreciated.
