Hi @MPLW276,

A warm welcome to the HP support forums. A very good day to you. I understand that you need assistance regarding paper jam issues. I will be more than happy to assist you here.

Fabulous description and superb diagnosis of the issue before posting. Kudos to you for that. You are a valued HP customer and it is paramount to assist you with it. I take it as a privilege to share this platform with you.

• Did you bypass power strips and connect the printer directly to the wall outlet?
• Did you perform a hard reset on the printer?
  
  Please perform a hard reset on the printer from this link and perform only step 1 that says "Step 1: Reset the printer"

Please try all the prescribed steps from this link and that might correct the issue. Otherwise the printer may have a hardware issue and needs to be replaced by contacting HP phone support.
