Continuous Paper Jam on HP Photosmart 6510 (CQ761A)

Hi all!
Hoping for some guidance.  I am out of warranty and hoping someone has an idea. Here is what I'm up against.
After a large double-sided printing job my printer starting jamming. If I print just one page, the printer will print the page and then either suck the page back in OR will try to keep pulling more pages through resulting in a multiple page jam. Sometimes the display will say something about letting the Ink dry before it gets jammed again. Sometimes there is also a noise with the papers - kind of like a clicking sound as if something was stuck/jammed/unhappy.
I've done all the steps (except getting it serviced) provided in the hp link (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02885398&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5058336&tmp... to no avail.
Any ideas or have you come across this? Does it mean my printer has died - I heard these types usually only last a few years and aren't worth the expense of getting repaired. Is that your experience?
Thank you!

I am having exactly the same issue (constant paper feeding, ticking, jams), and tried all the steps (cleaning, looking for paper bits, resetting, checking the rollers), and I am still having issues.  Did you ever get an answer?
We find we can print one page at a time, if we only insert one piece of paper at a time.  Obviously, not a good solution if you have more than a few pages to print.
I was wondering if it has anything to do with the paper I am using.  Are there recommendations on what types of paper to use (or not to use)?

  • Continuous paper jam message HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

    No jam, paper will not feed, get message again and again paper jam. Even with no paper in hopper.  If i stuff the paper way up inside it feeds completely through the machine.  Was working fine printing 12 of 14 pages then it started the no feed paper jam.  tried many levels of paper in the tray will not feed unless i jam it in halfway.  then it feeds the single or whole pile (what ever amount that is pushed way in) all the way through. There is no paper stuck in the machine, anywhere, I have looked very carefully.  My thought is something is broken inside or a switch that's popped out that starts the initial paper feed.  When i look in where the paper lies the driver arm is stuck up not down on the paper.  It is stuck in the up position i put a very slight pressure on it to see if i could manually bring it down to contact paper but it would not move it was solid in the up position.  I can assume that it drops down when printer is told to print but it doesnt come down just get upper rollers running.  Thank you very much for your time and help

    @ pat-75, just too piggy back off what Ciara_B said, the document she provided is the correct document for the false paper jam you are receiving.
    Also, make sure and do a hard reset with the printer.
    Hard Reset: 
    Unplug the power cord from the printer and wall 
    Wait 30 sec
    Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall (Make sure the printer is plugged into the wall and not a surge protector) 
    Let me know the outcome.

  • Paper jams in HP Photosmart 5520 e-all-in-one

    Why do I keep getting paper jams in HP Photosmart 5520 e-all-in-one? It won't even take in the paper without jamming.

    @ Petee - There is a document that shows the steps on how to clear out a paper jam in the Photosmart 5520. There are a few doors that allow one to access the rollers in the printer and the document shows these steps.
    PrintDoc linked the document in Message 2 of this thread, but I will link it again below to ensure it is easily found.

  • False paper jam reported on Photosmart C7250

    I have been using my Photosmart C7250 for the past 2 1/2 years without a problem. Ny configuration is: Windows 7 (32 bit), Ethernet wire connection with fixed IP address. I get a paper jam message. I have checked that there is no paper jammed. I have cleaned the pronter thourolly (but carefully) and even used (sparingly) some compressed air to clean the whole paper path. I have don all the recommended cleaning / reset procedures.
    Once i have reset the printer, i can print a document without a problem. Once the last page is printed, however, i get the papaer jam message. I have even tried to do double-sided printing withoout any errors, except the paper jam message after printing.
    What else can i do? Is it worth it to take it to a repair shop or is it better to buy a new printer (since i can get one for less than $100)

    Hi @nana1663 
    Sometimes paper jam messages can be false. From your description, it sounds like maybe resetting the printer could resolve the issue.
    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!

  • Continuing paper jam msg, no jam found

    I have a C6280 All-in-One. It was turned off for about a month, while I was on vacation. Upon returning, the machine will not start up. It gives a repetitive message about a paper jam, but I see no evidence of a jam anywhere in the paper path. Is there some sort of a software reset that would override that message until an actual jam should occur?  I had one ink cartridge reported as expired this morning when I tried again, but replacing the cartridge had no effect on the starting up.
    The machine goes through the usual actions for a startup, finally gets to a message that it is printing, but after a few more seconds it reports the jam.  I get the same result after a complete power down and restart.
    The automated assistant apparently has no info for this printer (perhaps too old?)

    Hello @Smoqui , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you're receiving paper jam errors. I'd like to help!
    I'd recommend starting with a power reset.  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 would also recommend the steps in the following document:

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Customized Paper Size on HP Photosmart 6510

    Can you customize the paper size on the hp photosmart 6510 printer?  I am trying to print my wedding invitations on 5.25 x 8.25in paper and it won't let me customize the paper size.  I even called customer support and went in my Print server properties to add this customized size but when I go to print the document and go to properties to find the customized size, it doesn't show up.  Help PLEASE!! These invitations need to go out ASAP!! Desperate bride needs help fast!

    Hi there bride2012,
    It seems custom print sizes may not be available with your printer software. Check out this post by Travis_C, he details using an alternate generic driver to obtain the custom print sizes you are looking for. Give his steps a shot and let us know if it helps.
    Best of Luck!

  • Photosmart​6510/B2112​/ Paper Jam occurring even after original item removed

    We removed the original small paper causing the Jam.  Now paper seems to jam in middle of printer, just right of the center of the paper because it has been dented coming through the back of the printer.  When that jam is removed,   blank pages keep coming through until a new jam occurs. What does the paper catch on to cause it to dent the paper? Are the rollers the problem?

    Hi,
    I am sharing the link for clearing the paper jam error , just try to follow the steps in the link and see if it resolves the issue..

  • Is anyone having an issue with the hp photosmart premium c310a? I keep getting a "paper jam" error

    I hope someone from hp is monitoring these posts. I am very disappointed with the new photosmart premium eAll-in-one. I just bought this printer in april and recently when printing, an error message "paper jam" will pop up after just printing 1 or 2 pages. I did all the recommended troubleshooting steps hp has online but after printing a couple pages error message comes back. And thats not even the worst part! I called hp tonight 4 TIMES to get this issue resolved because at this point I want a new printer sent to me! I have been hung up on 2 times and then told the other times that I need to talk to a case manager. Guess what? No case manager available to talk about my printer issue!! I spoke to 6 different representatives with NO help to be found. I cannot return to staples store where I bought it because its after the 14 day return policy hp has with staples. That is the MOST STUPIDEST policy I have ever heard of!! If I knew in advance that I could not return this printer to the store I got it from after 14 days have passed, I would have NEVER BOUGHT IT!! I am still waiting for a case manager to call me back so that I can get this thing picked up ad a new one sent to me.

    Try this:
    Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
    Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
    Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.

    I have a printer that I cannot print from - it keeps saying there is a paper jam but when I investigate there is nothing there and I can no longer access the printer cartidge tray (when I open the tray, the cartridge tray no longer moves into the middle).

    Hi there lukeedwards,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Things like your printer model and your operating system help out a lot.

  • C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message 'clear paper jam.' There is no paper jam.

    C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message  'clear paper jam.'  There is no paper jam.  About a month ago there was a paper jam, but was removed.  It worked fine since then until yesterday.  I've tried all the HP trouble-shooting suggestions- unplug, take apart, manually move carriage, etc. and nothing has solved the problem.  The paper does not advance...all that happens if I try to print is a lot of noise like carriage going back and forth and after a/b 1-2 minutes it will show the "red X" blinking on the printer and a message on the computer screen, "Clear paper jam."  When the problem first started yesterday the message was that the printer was "Out of paper."  I need to print a resume and this is just the wrong time for someone such as myself with little computer knowledge to try to figure it out.  Thanks for any suggestions!

    Hi there pattimessick,
    You may not need to remove/re-add. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own (especially connectivity problems) and if not give a better idea of what is going on.

  • HP Photosmart 6510 gets a "Paper Mismatch" error trying to print on Avery return address labels

    I just bought the HP Photosmart 6510 yesterday.  I'm trying to print out return address labels to put on my daughters birthday party invitations, but the printer gives me a "Paper Mismatch" error.  This new printer replaced an HP PSC 1350 all-in-one, which printed these labels just fine.  I am using Pages on Mac OS 10.7 with the Avery 5195 template.  The labels are on standard US Letter (8.5" x 11") paper.  I'm really not sure what the problem is.
    Any help would be appreciated.  I have to get these printed out tomorrow!!!
