Paper jams every time: Any solution to this apparently common problem?
196575
I've had this printer for maybe a year, and I've only had two or three jams, usually if I've been printing a lot of graphics-heavy stuff without giving the machine a rest. It overheats and the paper seems to stick. I find if I let it cool down and pull out the offending paper wreckage, I can continue without incident. I realize this may not be really helpful to you but it's what my experience has been. I find it interesting how many totally divergent experiences people have had with this machine.

No , I have not had that problem like markers do. I think it might depend on the type of paper. but ordinary paper is good.

I don't think mine does that. Mine sometimes like to print a couple pages and then say it has a paper jam whether it does or not. However, if I'm printing from my computer I do have a tendency to tell it to print, wait to hear it start and then walk away and come back a few minutes later. So it's possible that it does it and I don't notice. I have a lot more problems with it copying than printing from my computer. Mine love to eat the pages I try and feed it. I guess if it finishes the job I wouldn't worry too much. Unless you just got it, in which case I would recommend considering sending it back or calling customer service. I would not feel comfortable with a issue like that in a brand new piece of equipment.

I have . The major problem is you can't put very much paper in shut and it jams frequently.

I have had very occasional paper jams that are VERY easily resolved by easy access to the rear ( there is a built in visual direction via the touch screen: also for ink changes etc.) P.aper feed itself has not been a problem for me except if I try to use really wrinkled paper. much better than another brand and another HP 7960 color printer I had before.

I do not recommend this model because of the frequency of overheating and paper jamming.

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.

I had to upgrade to the next closest model when my old printer died, but this one is very similar. If you lift the lid, there should be a black handle on the large plastic piece that hold down the paper near the back. lift that, and release the paper that is jammed. Then make sure to clearly press the black piece in place again, and it should work fine. Your manual should clear up any questions as well. Good luck!!

Don't know if it is an updated version but we have not had a single paper jam since we purchased it approximately 6 months ago.

Try a different memory card. Never had that problem, even under some pretty rough conditions.

The only thing I can think is to air out the pages or fan them so they don't stick, it also could be the type of paper you are trying to scan, once in a great while this does happen to me but never more than 2 pages at one time on a pile of 15 pages, also make sure the top of the scanner is locked in place tightly sorry I don't have any better ideas...

If you haven't figured this out by now, use your on screen manual that should have loaded to your computer program list when you loaded your printer. I've not had this problem, but did have one and after hours of researching on Google I brought up the manual and followed the directions - viola, problem solved. I did have a paper jam once and couldn't see it until I opened the back of the printer. Also, always remember to push the flashing button when you've completed any task - it let's the printer know to proceed. (Richard's wife, deb)

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.

I'm surprised, I think the document feeder is the best I've personally experienced of at least 4 printers of different makes. I would tell you about the same as Craig Kuper - thinking it is possibly the type of paper or try one of the techniques to create an air spacing temporarily between the pages. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I finally called a copier repair person for this problem. He had a easy, but counterintuitive, solution. Clean the paper feed roller with WD40. He explained why it worked (which I don't remember), but it certainly did work. Wipe off any excess of course.

I have never had a problem with paper jams. Are you sure that all of the packing material has been removed?
