[mod.computers.laser-printers] overstuffed cx paper tray

Recently, at UMASS/Boston someone over stuffed the paper tray on our Imagen
8/300 Canon cx based printer. 
This resulted in the motor complaining, and the console terminal
saying "motor failure" rather than any "paper jam" indication 
(nor was there any on the engine itself).  Further, the paper
tray could not easily be removed until the printer was opened (as for
cleaning. I mean that baby was FULL!).

All was well when a rational amount of paper was in the tray. So if
you see this problem, check the paper tray before you panic.
