Recently went to print a document, it printed 2 pages then a paper jam occured. The printer is on but the Attention light keeps blinking every time I try to print anything. The light doesnt come on until I have something in queue to print, otherwise just the power light is on. I put paper in the tray and still nothing happens. I've tried cleaning the rollers in the back of the printer, same thing. I tried resetting it, nothing. I've basically tried everything I could to fix this problem. This is so frustrating and I really need to use my printer. Help please!!
