Our colorqube 8570 always says there is a paper jam when there isn't one. When we put the tray back in one page prints then it "jams" again?

Firstly, never, ever turn it off. If you do, say there is a power cut when it is printing, the teeth in the cubes will jamb and the cost of repair is more than a new Samsung printer. Secondly, paper jams are frequent. We could solve this for a short while by cleaning all the rollers and making sure the sensor was clear. But it would soon happen again. Any paper less than 22lbs fails continually. We ended up using 25 lb paper to solve the issue for longer periods.

I had the same question! I use mine for card making all the time. I have had an HP all in one for several years rarely had any problem with jamming...but an original HP ink leaked and ruined the HP printer and now have to get a new printer. I seem to be going in circles with what to buy.

First make sure there is not a piece of paper jammed. If it looks ok then shut the printer off and unplug it for a minute. Plug it back in and turn it on, should clear it.

The XP-850 has a rear paper port. You could try putting the paper in that port. Also, mine occasionally spits out the first sheet - apparently thinking regular paper is in Tray 2. Simply put 2 pieces of paper in Tray 2 - either 2 photo papers, or the top sheet is regular paper and the 2nd sheet is the photo paper. If the printer still has trouble, it might be because the photo paper is too thick and must be put in the rear paper port. See your Epson User's Guide for specific details on the rear paper port.

I have a new printer now so am not sure, but try unplugging both the power cord and the comm. cord to "boot" it. Leave it off for a few minutes. If that doesn't do the trick, make sure if it is locked (can't tell by your description) or whether it's just choosing the wrong tray all the time. Once in a while I actually had to resize the picture inside my photo editing software and then reprint because it kept wanting to 4 x 6 everything. (only once in a while) If I remember correctly, there are sliders inside the trays to make the paper snug. Check them and make sure they move back and forth like they're supposed to in case that might be the problem. Try moving the sliders in the larger try all the way to the outside??

I had a similar problem, and discovered a tiny piece of paper blocking the paper entry slot. I was able to remove it by passing through the paper entry site a very thin piece of plastic sheeting back and forth through every area of the entry slot to push out, what I then discovered was the tiny piece of paper that was 'jamming' the 'roller from revolving and grabbing a sheet to print. It corrected the problem and my printing began again.

What is the problem exactly.Put paper in it first. Then print something, put legal size paper in it and print a legal size paper. Try that first. Mine just worked

I've had paper jams with a couple of my printers. If you can access the rubber rollers that move the paper through, take a cloth dampened with 409 and clean the rollers. See if this helps. It fixed my Konica Minolta (my favorite one) about 2 years and the intake of this Brother Printer and it stopped jamming.

Hi, did you manage to stop the clicking noise? Mine is now doing this--as you said, about every second. Additionally, the "in use/memory" light is flashing. This started only minutes ago when trying to print. Thanks for any help.Allison

Hi Cathy, I didn't have this exact problem with the printer but here is how I have fixed the problem in the past. It is usually from a dry atmosphere. Try buying a smoother higher quality paper. You can keep the paper in an area where the air is more moist and this may help. The other remedy is to take a sheet of Bounce and tape it (all four side) to the bottom of the paper drawer and if you open the back find an area on the door and tape a sheet there. Hope this works for you.Jeff

Franklin, I bought this printer a year ago and my problem is annoying paper jams, over and over and over..... which means I have to remove the back and extricate the paper. As far as your print head is concerned, I experienced that once. I turned off the power, unplugged the printer, removed both cartridges and waited about 20 minutes before powering it up again. The printer seemed to recognize that it was missing the cartridges and immediately rebooted to receive them. In the final analysis, I have regretted this purchase.... good luck. BILL

Yes, mine will only see the paper if I fill the tray about 1/2 way. Put less paper in each time and you wont have the issue anymore. Too bad too, because it is a great printer otherwise.

I have a great suggestion, know that this feature has been disabled by Lexmark, they will send you a "Firmware update" that will make your printer completely useless. No longer will you be able to print without it drinking up your color ink and then you have to replace the color before it will print in black again. I hope for a class action suit that will help the consumer recover some of their losses from this sabotage!

I gave the printer a good review and I am still happy. I did have a paper jam problem a month ago and there was a piece of torn paper in the back of the paper tray. I would suggest you call the customer service and they will go with you step by step to look for the problem. If nothing is found, they will give you the closest repair shop (Brother pays if under warranty). Hope it works out but maybe you got a lemon.

I don't know about paper jamming, but this printer model just seems rife with problem after problem - whether hardware or software in origin. To be blunt, it is a dog, and I am now loathe to buy any more HP printers or computers. My step-mom just gave up and replaced hers of this model... barely two years old. At that rate, it is an extremely expensive personal printer when you consider the purchase price, HP ink cartridges that the thing won't accept, and that it was for home use - not high usage.

Like some others, I had the problem with the 532 paper jamming also. There are instructions on how to clear the jams on the Canon site. In the end I opted for another model, an MX 472, which seems to work OK and it uses the same ink cartridges as the 532

I think that the paper catch is malfunctioning. I would return the printer and get a replacement. Mine works fine BTW Also, if you are not able to use the wireless feature you may have made an error setting up the printer. It isn't connecting properly to your wireless router. When you get a replacement check the user manual that Dell has online for instructions about making the wireless connection.
