If it’s just that, then the rubber on the rollers had probably dried out. I had the same issue with a 10 year old HP inkjet. Some mg chemicals “rubber renue” worked great.

Maraval26@lemmy.world 10 months agoBrother was good but I’m disappointed by the last units I had. After 4 years of light home usage (one page here and there), they are not picking up paper in the tray. Same for some relatives which bought similar units. Feels like scheduled obsolescence …

Sometimes a good cleaning of the rollers with rubbing alcohol will bring it back.

Brother printers aren't good and haven't been for a while, but they're cheap

The printer might just need a maintenance kit done to it. Those rollers are meant to wear out over time.
