Greg, that sounds like the problem we had. Something may have fallen into your paper feeder. I unplugged ours and gently shook it back and forth. It dislodged what was in it. Now it works great! Good luck!

This is a direct thermal printer. One of two things is occurring:1) Your paper stock is decaying, due to age / heat / sunlight.2) There is an issue with your printhead.To resolve the second issue, you can first try to clean the printhead with an alcohol swab. Then, try increasing the darkness settings in the printer driver. If these do not work, you may need to purchase a new printhead.

I was hopeing you had an older HP printer. Hmmm Do the rollers turn? Do you hear it trying to load? If not, time for a new printer. The older HP had probles loading one page at a time. My HP series FINALLY solved that. If it's trying to load you may just need to clean it. Sorry I can't be of more help. (Have you tried hitting it with a stick?)

You can use this to try fixing the problem. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&destPage=document&docname=c03081973&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001&lc=en&tmp_docname=c03081973 If this doesn't work this is another way to try to get the printer to work. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CCkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fh30434.www3.hp.com%2Ft5%2FOther-Printing-Questions%2F0xc18a0001-Ink-System-Failure-Fixed-in-HP-D7360%2Ftd-p%2F417073&ei=8-bFUoz_MNXSsATvvYCgDQ&usg=AFQjCNHfzok0Yy6WKbr2fsJaPkeQWTSs6A&bvm=bv.58187178,d.cWc There are any other answers shown when you 'Google' HP D7360 ink system failure. Some times this printer will show this failure after it has not been used for a long time or if one or more cartridges run out of ink and printing is continued.

try rebooting it by unplugging it for 30 seconds then plug it back in and start it to see see if that helps. Part of the problem is that when it jams all the way to the left and is not accessible because of the cover it is under, so you can't do anything with the printhead or the cartridges.

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.

If you already have the printer I would suggest contacting HP tech support. If you haven't bought this printer and are looking to future parts replacement, I would suggest buying a printer with better reviews.

There's a slit in the back of the machine. Guide paper into that slit and press the "feed" button in the front and it should go in. If it doesn't, make sure the paper edge is even and hold the paper going into the slit firmly while pressing the feed button. Hope that helps.

Check the a/c unit, when the cables get bent or crimped, items tend not to turn on or off.If you can, flex the cable while plugged in, find the 'sweet spot' and tape a Popsicle stick to the cable (or anything else that keeps it in the correct position to work. IF the pwer supply is dead, read the back and see what amp/volts it has and use a substitute that matches. Worst case scenario search on amazon for a new charger. If there are none, let me know what the volts/amps are and I will list the one I removed from my printer and list it, if I still have it. I have 2 medium sized tubs of just power supplies from stuff that died. : ) Check the a/c unit, when the cables get bent or crimped, items tend not to turn on or off.If you can, flex the cable while plugged in, find the 'sweet spot' and tape a Popsicle stick to the cable (or anything else that keeps it in the correct position to work.

yeah, sadly it happens to me to often, more than 50% of the time the paper won't load all the way into the printer, thus the printer recognize it as paper-jam, and it has been two months since i've bought it, so guess there is no returning this purchase, lexmark are great at software problem solving for windows7, but i doubt they will replace it since this is not a manufacturing error, but bad-design PERIOD

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.

Sorry, but it has been a few years since I've installed it, I can't remember. I think I followed the instructions in my manual which is how I found out what the problem was. Also my Printer is a Canon Pixma530.

You can also go through the printer's maintenance and try have the printer perform a print head cleaning as well. I was having some major problems with mine too (it just turned out that I was using cheap ink).

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 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.

Thanks for your help. I did the firmware update and tested the printer, but the problem still persists in my case.

It sounds like a bad unit. Mine prints just fine and I'm sorry I'm not more help. Can you return it and get new one?
