@rfran027, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
Check for Actual Paper Jam
Even if you don't see paper visibly stuck:
Open all access panels — including front toner area, rear door, and paper tray.
Remove the toner cartridges and gently inspect the paper path and pickup rollers.
Use a flashlight to check for tiny scraps or curled edges.
Remove the paper tray and inspect the rollers underneath.
Clean the Rollers
Dust, paper debris, or humidity can cause rollers to slip.
Use a lint-free cloth lightly moistened with distilled water or isopropyl alcohol.
Clean the pickup roller and separation roller in the tray and the feed path.
Run HP Smart:
- Download and run the HP Smart. Follow the prompts to diagnose and fix common printing issues.
- Refer: Use Diagnose & Fix in HP Smart to repair common printing issues (Windows, macOS) | HP® Support
Update Printer Firmware (Update the firmware on an HP printer | HP® Support)
- Go to the HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads page. Enter your printer model number and search for the latest firmware update. Follow the instructions to download and install the firmware update.
I hope this helps.
