@Gordon121, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Paper jams in HP printers can be frustrating, but they’re often caused by a few common issues. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot and fix the problem:
Turn Off the Printer
- Power off the printer and unplug it to avoid any electrical issues while checking inside.
Remove Jammed Paper
- Open all access doors (input tray, output tray, rear access door, and cartridge access area).
- Gently pull out any jammed paper. Avoid tearing it—small pieces left inside can cause future jams.
Check the Rollers
- Look for dust or worn-out rollers. Clean them with a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water.
- If rollers are worn smooth, they may need to be replaced.
Inspect the Paper Tray
- Make sure the paper is:
- Not overloaded
- Properly aligned
- Free from folds, tears, or moisture
- Use only recommended paper types and sizes for your printer model.
Reset the Printer
- After clearing the jam, plug the printer back in and turn it on.
- Try printing a test page.
Update Firmware/Drivers
- Visit the HP Support website to download the latest drivers and firmware for your printer model.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
