Cleared paper, restarted printer same message Paper Jam, followed HP support instructions to clear paper jam, carefully and clearly.

Not sure ...

 

Although the Troubleshooting document is pretty long, there are a limited number of known solutions.

 

Generally, all else equal (and tried), there is either a tiny bit of paper hiding (perhaps under / behind a drawer) or the printer needs to be Reset.

 

If you did not do so, be sure to complete Step 5 (Reset).
