HP Envy 5532 photo paper jams

[Hels40]

Hi. I decided to use the free batch of HP Advanced photo paper that came with our printer. We have had our printer a while, never had a problem with it and warranty expired December '16. Photo paper is getting jammed inside printer, paper is taken and sounds like it's being printed but then the message comes up saying there's a jam. I have followed all videos to clean paper rollers and the rollers underneath where the paper tray extends. I checked for torn paper particles. Someone else on this forum tried printing with photo paper weighted at 260gsm and it got jammed. How do I know the weight of this paper? my gut instinct says this paper is too heavy/thick. Any help please would be most useful!

Hi, thanks for your help. I've already done all the steps you've mentioned but will only get assistance on a fee based system. I would just like to know (as other HP customers on this forum), have the same issue printing photo paper and paper that is under 250gsm. Many thanks

Hi, printing normal paper is fine. I only once bought a cheap brand (Wilko) of A4 photo paper (170gsm) which printed ok, but photo paper was such terrible quality, ink smudged all over my fingers, you just could not handle the photo, I took it back to the shop for a refund. Oh and the printer is connected directly to the wall (socket)! X
