Hi @flash286,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I'd like to help!

I understand you are facing improper shutdown and a paper jam error 

Try the below suggestions -

Reset the product

• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Wait at least 60 seconds.
• Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
• Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
• Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

Try updating the printer's firmware -HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

Also, try the below steps -Paper Jam Error
