These sorts of problems with printers and faxes are most often caused by a
dirty paper pathway. Dirty rollers cause the paper to slow down or hang up.

The first thing to try is to clean the paper path way with 100 percent
alcohol and a swab. You can also use rubber rejuvenator on the rubber
rollers although keep it off the plastic parts or it might melt the finish.
Sometimes you have to keep going over the rollers giving them a good scrubbing.

You can also use a special lubricant that won't degrade plastic on any
gears or other moving parts. Only use this on parts where you see existing
lubricant.
