Printer Displays message to remove jammed paper. But there is no paper jam.

[Viva1]

My computer is relatively new, although I have had desk computers and printers for years.  However I am far from knowledgeable  about computers or printers.   My problem is that when I want to print,

 and tap the print button to print, the printer makes a funny noise and shuts down.

It displalys a message to"remove the paper jam, and to be sure paper is loaded properly"  But there is no paper in the printer.

No jam, no paper.

I would truly appreciate some help.

@Viva1, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I understand the printer is not working fine. Let us try these steps:

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
