I have a Photosmart 7520 which was working fine, it printed one sheet as it went to pick up the second sheet it started to make a clicking sound and a message came up asking for paper to be loaded ( the carriage was full) then press "Done" once pressed it started clicking again and then repeated the cycle. I tried every paper size i had  6" x 4" up to A4 with the same result. The printer is 9 years old is this a repairable job or a scrap case, the printer has had very little use over a long period ( cartridge's changed around every 18 months) Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi @Baz691,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand you are facing a paper feed issue with your HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

To assist better:

  • Was there any recent paper jam/carriage jam issue on the printer?
  • Does the copy work fine?

While you respond to that, Let's perform a power drain: 

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Remove USB cable, if present.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
  • Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle

Hi Anand_Andy, Thanks for your reply, I followed your suggestions up to the point of Install the latest firmware which I downloaded and tried to install but it just hung on this screen for over an hour so I cancelled it.Screenshot 2022-08-08 at 14.50.46.png

it said cancelling may stop the printer working but it's OK,  I took a 40 second video of what happens thinking it may help you tell what the problem is as you can hear the noise the printer makes but then I find I cannot load it. Thanks for your attempt.

Hi EssKay_22  No I went through everything HP suggested on here with no luck, so they suggested I ring and speak to tech support which turned out to be a lady in what sounded like the phillippines who's only remedy was to try and find a local engineer as they couldn't help.

ive been quotes 30 plus parts by a local engineer. Considering buying a new printer now as the repair will sum to probably more than half of what the printer is worth.
