C6280 won't feed paper -- sees paper trays as empty

Can't say that I'm pleased with this printer. It worked well enough until the yellow ink cartridge jammed (printing fewer than a dozen 4x6 images and a couple dozen sheets of paper with smaller images). Couldn't get a single replacement cartridge so I bought a full set. Wouldn't be so bad, except that once the ink was replaced, something else happened to the feed mechanism and no matter how much paper is in either of the feed trays the "Out of paper" message appears on the pop-up screen.
What I've tried so far: unplugging and decabling the whole thing; printing from the card reader so the computer's not involved; removing the back and cleaning the rollers (which seem to be pretty dry/slick?)
Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem and the solutions video has not helped. I've been able to print using the fast/economical print setting. This seems to quickly feed the paper into the reel and the printer continues the job, rather than the slower normal mode where the printer hangs up and the Out of Paper error message appears.
ANy suggestions?

Hp ENVY 5660 won't feed from the 4x6 tray!

Just set up the new wireless printer and all communications are working well, but.....when attempting to print 4x6 photo's, it won't select the 4x6 photo paper tray. Both the regular paper and the 4x6 photo paper trays are filled, but not over full.When we set printer preferences, we set 4x4, paper type, etc..but aren't seeing any other options. It will print 4x6 on a full sheet of paper all day, but not feed from the 4x6 tray. Please help! We don't feel like we are device illiterate, but this one has us stumped!

Hi @burly1, and welcome to the HP Forums! I understand you're having issues with your tray selection. I'd like to help! I would recommend running a copy throught the printer, but select copy - photo tray. Do you have any issues printing a photocopy on photo paper? I'd also suggest performing a power reset on the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar. I'd then suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Support Code 1007 printer will not feed paper from lower tray!

PIXMA MG5422 will not feed paper from lower tray. Wifi connect Mac OS X 10.9.4

I have the same problem with my Canon MG7120 and it's SUPREMELY annoying. I have a iMac running 10.10.4 and am also trying to use iPhones. The printer has no option to print from the lower tray if it sees any color or any odd size page. Anything from the iPhone will be treated the same, rendering it completely useless. I love Canon printers, have had many in the past, but this one is really really annoying.

HP Photosmart C5180 Will no longer feed 8x11 Photo paper from main tray

My C5180 all in one will no longer feed 8x11 photo paper from main tray. Rollers slip and will not pull paper in. Any suggestions?

Hi @583seve
I see youa re having some difficulty with your Photosmart C5180. The following document addresses both out of paper messages and issues with paper pick; 'Out of Paper' Error Message Displays and the Product Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper.
If the issue persists, you might consider trying the steps in a paper jam document. Although you may not be experiencing a paper jam, the steps in this document may be all that is left to try; 'Clear paper jam, then press OK' Error Message Displays on the Control Panel.
I hope this helps, but if after all your efforts the issue remains, I suggest calling HP. They may be able to offer you a discount on a newer model as part of a trade in trade up option. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.

Hp 1210v all-in-one; paper won't feed through

Printer turns on, paper won't feed through, screen comes up you need to load paper and there is paper. Already opened the back of printer and cleaned the rollers? Can i get in through the front of the printer????

Hello @WSimsIV,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 6510, you are unable to print in black ink.
I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,

New P1006 won't feed paper

My new P1006 laser printer won't feed the paper in....after a paper jam. I have followed the procedure in the on-line manual. Any ideas out there?

You could try cleaning the rubber rollers at the back of the printer by removing the rear access door and then cleaning it, as the black marks may just be ink deposited on teh rollers while feeding the paper. This will also help increase the rollers' grip in the paper and prevent any misfeeds that in turn result in a paper jam. I would definitely try this first.

Photosmart C5180- paper won't feed correctly

Hi,
We had a paper jam and after I cleared it, the paper won't feed correctly.
If I feed one piece at a time, it will do it. Otherwise, it pulls the top paper
from only the right side (as you are looking in) and causes another jam.
If anyone has any suggestions, or can tell me where to have this fixed,
I would be greatly appreciative.

Hi , I can help you with your reset request. I moved your post from its original location, but can see you tried everything suggested by DocCottle here: Photosmart C310 paper won't feed. I will send you a PM (Private Message), but before I do, feel free to review the HP Privacy Statement. This Privacy Statement informs you of our privacy practices and of the choices you can make about the way information about you and your online activity is collected and how that information is used. This statement is readily available on our HP.com home page and at the bottom of every HP web page. There are an increasing number of posts in this forum and elsewhere in the internet with the steps to do a resets on different printers. The reset itself will sometimes fix problems, so the reset is not the issue. Some resets require you to enter button combinations to open special menus on your printer that you were never meant to access. These special menus are used by the developers and support personnel for debugging issues, but they are not meant for untrained users and can have unintended results. One wrong button push and you no could no longer have a printer, but instead a pricey paper weight. To top it off, if you do happen to "brick" the printer this way, it is considered customer induced damage, and voids the warranty automatically. These resets are only meant to be given out and used as a last resort, and under direct instruction of a HP tech support representative. They should not be done lightly!

OfficeJet J3680 Paper won't feed

HI, I just installed my Office Jet 3680 on Windows Vista.
When I go to print the printer makes noise as if it's trying to catch the paper, but it cannot. An error message appears saying "out of paper" when there is plenty of paper in the feed tray. I have tried more/less paper, thicker paper, cleaning the roller.... Sometimes a message appears saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a disk not available. Insert the solution center disk and click ok." [I do not have this disk and do not know where to get it.]
Help!
Thanks.

My Canon MX922 printer has stopped printing because it says the paper tray is empty. Tray is full.

My Canon MX922 printer has all of a sudden stopped printing and I'm getting the error message that the paper tray is empty. The tray is full. I've removed and replaced several times. I've loaded the top feeder as well in case for some reason it was trying to pull from there. I've shut down and restarted several times as well, to no avail. I work from home and this is my own business so it's vital I have a working printer. Any suggestions as to what the problem is or is the printer shot? I've probably had it just over a year.

Hi nicolej31,
You will want to ensure that there aren't any obstructions in the paper feed path that may be causing the paper not to feed and be recognized by the printer. With a flashlight or other bright light, please check the paper feed areas of the printer to ensure no obstructions exist. Once this has been done, please perform a roller cleaning on the unit by following the steps located here.
You will also want to ensure that the paper type and size selected in the printer driver is applicable to the cassette tray that you are trying to print from. For information on which paper sizes and types to load in each cassette tray, please click here.
Hope this helps!

MG5220 won't feed from bottom tray

My MG5220 is giving me an out of paper message when trying to print, even though there is plenty of paper in the tray. I can hear some clicking like the machine is trying to feed, but the rollers aren't turning. Feeds from the rear fine. Any way to change out the feed gears for the bottom tray without disassembling the entire unit?

Hi GunnerV and kaylakelley,
Performing a roller cleaning on the printer may resolve the paper feed issue. To do this, please follow the steps located at the link below:
PIXMA MG5220 Roller Cleaning
If the printer still does not feed paper from the cassette tray, please reply with what paper type you have selected on your computer, as well as any error message you are receiving and we will be happy to look into it further.

Mx922 printer fails due to "no paper in upper tray"

I try to print with iphone, but alway got this no paper in upper tray error ( I have paper in lower tray), looks like this is a canon software issue, if I can not resolve this, I will need to return this product, this is only two days old.
thx

Hi sjlstevens,
When printing from your Mac laptop/desktop, you will want to ensure that the paper type selected in the printer driver and application you are printing from is PLAIN PAPER, and that the paper size selected is 8.5 x 11, Letter, A4, B5, or A5. Other paper size selections will prompt the printer to feed from the upper cassette.
When printing from your iPhone via Apple AirPrint, the paper size is selected automatically according to the application software being used on the phone, and the region in which AirPrint is used. When Apple's photo application software is used, the default paper size is 4x6, whch would be fed from the upper cassette. If you want to print on another paper size such as 8.5 x 11, you will need to use a program that has that paper size as a selectable option and print from that program to the printer; this will utilize the lower cassette.
Hope this helps!
