Hello,
My HP OfficeJet 3830 jams with every print. I've checked all compartments for stuck paper and haven't found anything. Although all compartment appear to be clear of paper, I get the "paper jam" error every print. Something appears to be wrong with the feed as the paper is not fed into the printer straight. Would appreciate any tips or troubleshooting advice.
Thank you.
