@sandepp,

Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you.

I understand that you are facing issues with your HP LaserJet 1020 Printer wherein it picks an extra paper along with the regular paper and the second paper gets jammed.

This issue could occur if the paper pick roller is dusty.

Let's go through a few steps to troubleshoot this issue.

Let me know how this works.
 

You have a good day ahead.

Open the right side cover of hp laserjet 1020 plus printer ..... u'll find one small electro-magnetic latch at bottom right corner ..... this problem happens when the magnet didnot release the latch even though the solenoid de-energized .... may be due to sticky dust or due to residual magnetism..... clean the small assembly properly  .... further put one thin insulation tape to reduce magnetic attraction.....
