HP DeskJet 3820 is stuck/frozen

Hey, I've got some raised parts on my printer—marked in the photo. It makes this scraping sound when it tries to grab paper, then just gives me an error saying there's no paper (even though there is). Think I can fix this at home, or am I looking at a trip to the repair shop?

Took it to the repair shop and they said the belt is worn out and skipping. Of course, the printer is old and they don't carry parts for it anymore...

It’s a lost cause.

He should probably look for an HP OfficeJet 970 instead.

Uses the same ink, but it's way more heavy-duty and actually worth fixing if things go sideways.
