I own a HP OfficeJet Pro 8740 which at the moment is not printing because the printer claims there is a paper jam. However, I have had many paper jams before and know how to clear them. (More often than not, the jam involves one of the paper trays, but I have also encountered other types of paper jams.) No matter where I looked in the printer I do not see ANY paper jam and ANY pieces of paper. The printer is too heavy for me to take to a repair shop, and frankly, I have no idea which repair shop in Honolulu, Hawaii, would handle problems with the HP printers. Please help!
