Try reloading the paper and add more if there are less than five paper left then press menu and print again. Check also if the paper is at the bottom of the slot. If all fail, the feeder is the problem.

Make sure you are using paper that weigh 20lbs. Lighter paper is not noticed that readly.

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 the same problem. It just wouldn't feed. I inpected the paper and found that the top corner was slightly curled. I replaced it with brand new paper from a ream, still it wouldn't feed. I tried it over and over. I used a flashlight to see if there is any paper left inside the printer. I found none. So frustrated after wrestling with this problem for an hour, I shut off the printer and turn it back on. The problem went away. Who knows what really went wrong and what fixed it.

Huh? Another answer says there's an extra tray in the rear of the printer for card stock. Not on my MX472. And no mention of it in the on-line tutorial. The only way mine prints is to feed them through like paper. Am I missing something?

You can try reset your printer by restarting your computer and your printer. You may also need to reinstall the drivers or install a new updated driver

perhaps you have a defective printer, but mine works just fine ... open the front door, place paper on the tray, open the top of printer, and ready to print ... if it keeps jamming, I would request a replacement ... good luck!

I just got my lexmark pro 705. I tried to print business cards (Avery 8873). It has trashed every sheet, refusing to load it. The printer goes ahead and prints on nothing and then when it tries to kick out the paper it indicates a jam.

Oh, thank god, this worked for me as well. This was driving me nuts. I had just bought a replacement large black tank and all I'm trying to print is text, but it wouldn't work because one of the photo tanks was out. (And I couldn't just buy that one, would have had to buy the pack of all four colors for $60)... I was about ready to just buy a new printer!

This is not normal in my experience. I've had the printer for more than a year and have never experienced the situation you describe. No idea what it indicates specifically but it's not normal. I suggest you contact Lexmark customer service. Perhaps they will have some idea of the source of the problem.

I have had my printer for over one year and no problems yet. I am very pleased with it to date. Try cleaning the paper rollers with vinegar or alcohol carefully to remove all dust, dirt, etc.

My PIXMA MP500 wonj't accept the paper for printing. Anyone know what is wrong?

I haven't used this printer in two years, mine jammed from unknown reasons, and after many fruitless hours trying to get it repaired, I've moved on. However IIRC the dedicated photo tray, just under the drying tray, is sized for 4x6 paper. Open the tray load the paper and slide photo tray forward. The printer if it's working properly should then pick up the paper from that tray. Unfortunately, while trying to get mine fixed, I read many reports of the printer failing to pick up paper from that tray. If it doesn't work automatically there is no way to force it to use that tray. I wish I could be more help.

Are you printing through an Internet browser? Some browsers don't like printing to printers directly. Try a different one and see if that helps. Otherwise if it's not through a browser... I have no idea.

I've been having the same problem with cardstock. It would just feed through blank. I went into the Setup menu --> Printer Setup --> Paper Source Settings --> Paper Configuration and turned it OFF. After that, the cardstock has been running through just fine.

Have you changed the paper setting in the printer setup software? I don't know if that will help. I have done business cards in mine.

The printing heads may be misaligned. The printer's DVD comes with some diagnostics software. Run those and you should get a more explanatory error code and error message from the printer.

Maybe you can find an answer from the manual you can download. I bought one of these printers and had to return it and purchase another one that works properly. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
