@Cochrane2063 Welcome to HP Forums!

 

I have a few steps listed below that should help determine the cause of the jams and resolve it permanently:

 

During a print job, the printer stops feeding pages, and a Paper Jam or Document Feeder Jam error message displays on the printer control panel. This indicates that paper might be jammed inside the printer.

NOTE: 

Paper jams can be real or false. The printer might report a paper jam even when there is no jammed paper. The following steps apply to both real and false paper jams
