Hello, it could be one of many things causing the paper to stop at the fuser, but the most likely culprit is the fuser itself. The fuser is a self-contained unit, and anything inside of it could have gone bad -- gears could be worn or stripped, for example.

The problem could be something external to the fuser, such as a bad motor, but the fuser is where I would start and is very probably the source of the problem. WIthout being able to troubleshoot further, replacing the fuser is a good first step.
