Hi, My printer is occasionally throwing an error code of paper jamb. I have checked every area and nothing.. When I shut down and restart it will work for a few times before giving error again
Would like to resolve ASAP

@RMCurra, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.
I see that the printer shows paper jam error intermittently. Kindly perform the steps mentioned in this document - Paper Jam Error
Also, check if the print carriage is moving freely - Carriage jam or E3 error
Make sure the papers are loaded correctly - Loading Paper, Envelopes, Cards
Update the printer firmware

If the error persists, it could be a hardware issue with the paper rollers. Please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region regarding the service/replacement options for your printer.
You may create a case on the website to obtain a case number if required. Kindly watch this video to know how.
Keep me posted for any other assistance.
