Paper tray stuck

[glencarbonWEST]

Paper tray is stuck in printer at an angle and I can't budge it.

I was getting "no paper" message, although there was paper in the tray.

I pulled it out and put more paper in the tray.

Tried to get it back in and now it is REALLY STUCK...

HELP

Hello, @glencarbonWEST – Hope you are well 🙂
 

Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums! I’d like to help 🙂

Going through your post, I understand that the paper tray is stuck on your HP printer. Have you installed the optional tray 2 on your printer? The tray 2 is removable and you can remove the tray completely from the printer.

If you are using the tray that is shipped with the printer, try to force the tray back to the printer. Keep the printer on its side and then try moving the tray.

You can find a helpful HP video here: Fixing Your Printer When It Doesn't Pick Up Paper | HP Officejet Pro 8100 Printer | HP

If the issue persists, please contact the HP phone support to get the printer service options:

(1) Once the support page opens please select the country in which you're located. Next, enter your HP model number on the right.

(2) Next, choose the 'Contact Support' tab at the top and scroll down to the bottom of the 'HP Support- Contact' page to fill out the form provided with your contact information.

(3) Once completed click the 'Show Options' icon on the bottom right.

(4) Lastly, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select 'Get phone number.' A case number and phone number will now populate for you.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance!

Good luck 🙂

Turning the printer on its side unlocked the paper tray!
