Hi @Magpie1944,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP OfficeJet Pro 8022 All-in-One Printer is displaying a paper jam error even when there is no jam, you can try the following troubleshooting steps.
Check for Paper Jam:
- Open the printer cover and remove any paper, including small bits that might be stuck.
- Inspect the paper path and output tray for any obstructions.
- Check the input tray and remove all paper, then reinsert it properly.
Clear Sensors:
- Dust or debris might be blocking the paper sensors. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the sensors, which are usually located near the input and output areas.
Reset the Printer:
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Wait for about 60 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on.
Check Printer Settings:
- Ensure the paper size settings in the printer settings match the paper you are using. Mismatched settings can sometimes trigger false jam errors.
Update Printer Firmware:
- Make sure your printer firmware is up to date. You can check for updates using the HP Smart app or the HP website.
Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor:
- Download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, which can help identify and fix issues with your printer.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
