Prompt Says 'out Of Paper' - But It's Not - And The Paper Will Not Feed In.

I have tried taking the paper in and out, and realigning it. I've cleaned out the printer with compressed gas. I've checked every nook and cranny for jams - there are none. I have looked for a sensor that hangs down over the paper, but there is nothing there . . . so, is there something I can look for, and then do, to fix this?
