The message I keep getting says error f8857 print service not enabled. I don’t know what that means…or it will say out of paper when the paper tray is full.

This is an indication that the paper does not feed properly. Here are some tips on how to prevent this from happening:
1. Make sure that the paper is loaded properly. You can try to flip through the paper before loading. The stack of paper needs to be just enough because loading at a maximum capacity may not possible for some printers.
2. The paper should always be in portrait orientation regardless of the printing orientation.
3. Make sure that the leading edge of the paper touches the far end of the front tray.
4. Always check if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled.
5. Confirm that the media type and the paper size settings correspond with the loaded paper.
6. If multiple sheets of plain paper are fed from the machine, select the setting for preventing double-feed of plain paper using the operation panel or your computer.
7. Lastly, see to it to clean the paper feed roller.
