Problem is, reaching that roller is very hard. I might have to open up

What have you got to lose, given the state of the printer?
The suggestion of wetting a sheet of paper with your choice of solvent
sounds worth a try, at minimum.
It isn't necessary to take the rollers out, just access them enough
to squirt solvent on them. One of the long-reach nozzled found on
aerosol brake or carb cleaner will at least help. If you can wipe
them off that'd be better of course.
The idea of a faulty paper sensor didn't cross my mind. I didn't think
they'd be mechanical, but in any case they're worth looking for. A bit
of lint on a photocell could conceivably be the culprit.
