@xebo, 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

 

Use the Correct Paper Type

  • Ensure the paper is compatible with the printer.
  • Use only HP-recommended glossy or matte photo paper.

Check Paper Condition

  • Do not use curled, wrinkled, or damaged paper.
  • Fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

Load Paper Correctly

  • Place photo paper in the main tray (not the ADF).
  • Do not overfill the tray—adjust guides to fit snugly.

Inspect and Clean Rollers

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it.
  • Open the paper path cover and check for obstructions.
  • Use a lint-free cloth with water to clean the rollers.

Check for Paper Jams

  • Remove any stuck paper gently from all accessible areas.
  • Use both front and rear access points if needed.

Adjust Paper Settings

  • On the Mac, go to Print Settings > Paper Type and select the correct paper.
  • Set the correct print quality and paper thickness.

Reset the Printer

  • Turn off the printer, unplug for 60 seconds, then restart.

Update Printer Firmware

  • Check HP Support website for the latest firmware updates.
