Officejet 6600 wont feed paper

[bhoward0004]

Hi,

My 5 ish year old HP6600 printer/scanner won't feed the paper.

Can it be fixed ... or just replace it?

Hey there! @bhoward0004, 

Have you tried checking with a different brand paper?

Please share the operating system you are running on the PC to assist you better.

Try the steps recommended below.

Make sure that the carriage moves freely

Remove and reinstall the cartridges

Follow these guidelines to help prevent paper feed issues:

• Load at least 10 sheets of paper into the tray, but do not overload the tray.

• Load paper correctly. Do not push the paper too far into the tray.

• Use only one type of paper at a time in the tray.

• Store paper in a cool dry place.

• Use only clean unused paper in the tray.

• Reload paper that has been in the tray for a time. Avoid printing on paper that is dusty.

• Wait for the product to complete a job or to display an 'Out of paper' message before reloading paper.

Clean the rollers

1. Gather the following materials:

   • A clean, lint-free cloth, or any cloth that will not come apart or leave fibers

   • Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might damage the printer)

   • Clean, lint-free cotton swabs

2. Press the Power button to turn off the printer.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

4. Slide the rear access door to the right, and then pull it toward you.

5. Lightly dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with bottled or distilled water, and then squeeze any excess liquid from the cloth.

6. Press the cloth against the paper feed rollers, and then rotate them upward with your fingers. Apply a moderate amount of pressure to remove any dust or dirt buildup.

7. Find the two pick rollers. They are near the center of the printer behind the paper feed rollers.

   NOTE: 

   You might need to use a flashlight to illuminate the pick rollers.
