When I try to print a document the printer goes into a print mode but stops because the leading edge of the paper gets wrinkled. I have cleared the jam several times but it continues in the same fashion.. I am sure there is no scrap pieces of paper in the gearing system. The printer is out of warranty. Is there a local print repair shop that can be advised to me?

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I see that you are facing an issue with your printer that has a paper jam issue.
A) Please follow the steps below to perform a power drain.
1) Take out the cartridges
2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.
3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.
4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.
5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.
Remove the cartridges > Unplug the power cord > Wait for 30 seconds > Plug the power cord back in > Insert the cartridges
B) Kindly refer to the steps on this link to update the printer firmware and let me know if that resolves the issue.
