You likely have a paper tray confrlict between your PC, Apps and the printer paper tray settings.

Start by printing off a configuration page and reviewing the Paper Size and Paper Type for the trays.

Next, cross referance this information with what you can find in the Printers and Scanners > Manage > Printing Preferances area

Next cross referance the same information with the print dialog box (File > Print ? ) and the application you are printing from

Once you find the incorrect setting and correct it the printer will know how to proceed and print jobs from tray 2 again.
