Hi there monto and welcome to the HP forums!
You have a Deskjet 1050 that doesn't seem to want to pull in the paper properly anymore? Well, I believe between the two of us, we should be able to fix that printer :)
I would like you to follow through this 'Out of Paper' Error Message and the Printer Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper document, focusing on the cleaning the pick rollers section.
Let me know how that goes for you!
