I had a paper jam where the rollers took at least 10 pages at once, I had to also change the colour cartridge due to it running out, I now get an error message saying the cartridge has jammed and there is a paper jam, when opening the printer to access the cartridges the paper has failed to print and the cartridge has stuck causing an hole in the paper. I have done all the troubleshooting and it is still the same, does anyone know if this is the end of my printer?

Hi @Wooly420
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you. let us try these steps to resolve this issue:
Reset the printer
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
Perform step 1 from this document. Also, to clear any paper jams in the printer, follow the steps mentioned in this document.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
