Officejet 3830 Not Printing on Envelopes

[Bridge09]

I have printed on envelopes numerous times with the same printer and same envelope type and size with no problems. All of a sudden the envelope will feed half way and then the printer will not pick it up and makes a loud nose like it is trying to feed. An error comes up that there is a paper jam. What could be the reasoning? I have unplugged it etc.

Thanks!
