Users reported this error some months ago, so I gave them another printer. With this printer in my office, I saw this error after 30 test pages, but did not think to notice exactly where the jam happened in the paper path.
Since I got a little recent experience rebuilding a LJ5 output assy, I ran some more test pages through this LJ4+. After 70 pages, the 41.3 Paper Error happened, with the page stopped at the following point:
So I guess I need to either rebuild the output assembly with a kit from fixyourownprinter.com, or buy an assy already rebuilt. Much the same as the LJ5.
I am wondering why the pape stopped, since the leading edge of the page did not get hung up? Did a sensor detect that the page was late?
Part numbers, links appreciated.

Most 41.3 errors are caused becasue the paper does reach a sensor in the alloted time or a sensor is sticking so when the paper passes over and the back edge goes over the sensor flag it does not return in time so the printer thinks the paper is larger then it actually is. Sometimes the error can occur if the paper sizes switches in the tray cavity are going bad and the size of the paper the printer thinks is in the tray changes during printing. The first thing you want to do is try the same test but use the manual feed tray which should be able to hold 100 sheets. If it does not happen from tray 1 then it could be as simple as a worn pickup roller in tray 2 causing a delay in the paper movement. If it happens from tray1 also I would first check the registration sensor located in a little cut out on the left side of the regitration assembly. You may want to try and blow the area out with some compressed air. When the error in the photo who posted happened where was the next sheet that was supposed to follow the one that stopped. Did the printer pickup another sheet and is it in the feed path or was there nothing except that one sheet in the path. If that one sheet, then it is not the output assembly.
I was printing individual test pages, one at a time, being sure that there was only one page in the paper path at a time. So it sounds like the output assy is OK.
I will need to get a can of compressed air, since I will be doing this kind of thing from time to time.
Since there is no obvious solution to this problem, I guess I will just use this printer in my office.
