Hi @Bennett72,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

 I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are facing paper jam error and the printer is printing blank pages

 

To assist  better-

 

1) Does the copy print out blank? 

2) What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or devices? 

 

While you respond to that, let's print a Print Quality Diagnostic page -

 

Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Page, and then evaluate the results.

Load plain white paper in the input tray.

From the printer control panel, open the Setup menu.

Open the Reports or Tools menu.

Touch Print Quality Report.

 

Post the Print Quality Diagnostic page here so we can help you further. 

 

You may also refer to this document with steps to fix " Print Quality Issues" issue applicable for your printer -  Print Quality Issues

 

Try the steps in the document to resolve the paper jam error-https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c05079673

 

 Also, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
