New HP ENVY 4524 printer has started jamming every time, how do I fix it?

[LaylaL]

I recently got this printer and it has been great until now. Almost every time I try to print double-sided the paper keeps on jamming and once I clear it and try again it happens again. The paper is new and has no crinkles or anything.

Thanks for taking an interest in the HP Support Forums After reading your post I see that you require assistance regarding paper jam issues while trying to print double sided. It will be a delight to assist you here.:)

Superb analysis and brilliant diagnosis of the issue before posting. 🙂 Kudos to you on that score. 🙂

For better clarity and to assist you better I would require more information regarding this:

• Did this happen after a recent software or operating system update?
• Please let me know the operating system version installed on the computer?
• Is it Windows or MAC?
• Did you check if the correct paper type and size that supports duplex printing is being used?

It looks like a hardware issue with the printer.

• For a start please check if the correct supported paper is being used from this product specifications link: http://hp.care/2h5ZVNf and check Paper-handling specifications.

• If the correct compatible paper is being used, please perform all the prescribed steps for paper jam issues from this link: http://hp.care/2h5ZVNf to check if the issue gets corrected.

If it continues, then the printer has a hardware issue and needs to be replaced by contacting HP phone support.

Thankyou, I ended up trying to blow out any dust/stray hairs that may have been caught up in its system first which seems to have worked. If any problems persist I will know to come back to this thread and put your tips to use.
