My LW4/600 is prone to this behaviour, if (heaven forbid!) I or someone in the household happens to have pulled a stuck piece of paper out of it.
It is possible that you merely reassembed it incorrectly, but alternatively, is it possible that something got stuck in the paper path? When my 4/600 goes awry, I have to look for a minute piece of paper in the paper feed at the front in the corners (mine usually bungs up at the front left), under the 'hood' when I open it up. The area is very hard to get at, and when you do get at it, it looks like there is nothing there, but there is typically a postage stamp sized piece of paper stuck there, crumpled up and impossible to see, on removal of which by random combinations of cussing/ praying, poking, prodding and pushing, a functional printer re-presents itself. You can print from X to a LW4/600 if you have LocalTalk Bridge / Laserwriter Bridge running on an old machine to which it is connected via Appletalk, or an Appletalk Router of some kind with both ethernet and localtalk networking active. Even wireless printing can work with this setup, though that might depend on the vagaries of one's wireless setup.
