  • Office jet 6700 printer jam error when there is no printer jam

    I get a continuous printer jam error when there is no jam present.  I have tried connecting and reconnecting.  Same error.

    Hi @lbrockhurst 
    Although you are not experiencing a true paper jam, the solutions presented in the following document might help to resolve the issue; A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One and 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Pri...
    As you will see in the document above, paper jam messages are not only a result of physical paper jams;
    The following factors can cause paper jams:
    Paper loaded incorrectly in the paper tray.
    Damaged or dirty paper rollers.
    Torn, wrinkled, or damp paper loaded in the paper tray.
    The rear access door or two-sided printing accessory (duplexer) might not be closed or is not locked into place.
    Paper was added to a stack already in the tray while the HP product was printing.
    The tray contains more than one type of paper.
    The paper is jammed inside the HP product where you cannot see it.
    An obstruction is blocking the paper path.
    Torn pieces of paper from a previous jam are stuck in the product.
    The tray is too full.
    If printing on an envelope, the edges of the envelope are bent.
    I have also seen communication hiccups cause such error messages. This may sound silly, but if the issue persists, after completing the steps in the document I provided, let's leave the router on and unplug the power cable (NOTE: Do not reset the router.),  then do the same with the printer, and shut down the computer. After a full minute, plug the router back in, wait for it to fully power up, then plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light to become solid. Once both the router and printer are on, go ahead and turn the computer back on. Doing this will refresh the network connection. 
    I hope this heps.

  • Pixma Pro 100 printing setup error

    I'm new to printing, I just got my Pixma Pro and so far have had terrible results.  1/10 times I get beautiful prints, the rest are terrible, washed out and like they have a grey film on them.  I think its either a colour management or paper management issue. I'm trying to use 8.5 x 11 " Canon Pixma Photo Paper with Matte finish.  I'm printing with Photoshop. I have the same problem whether I click on Photoshop handle colour or Printer handle colour, but the 1/10 nice prints were acheived manually setting the paper to "glossy" under the print settings menu in Photoshop CS6 rather than selecting Matte which is what the obvious choice is.  
    When I chose Photoshop handles colour management I get the same grey prints no matter what Printer Profile I select. Though it seems most logical to chose Matte Canon Pro - 100 <LU>  3 Photopaper because thats what I'm using, again the 1/10 nice prints were acheived selecting Photopaper Pro 3 <PT> Platinum.  
    I don't understand how any of this works.  The picture I am trying to print is here, nice blues and greens. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27816471@N06/9076033417/in/set-72157634198994950 it just looks grey and washed out when I print, sort of like the printer is 1/2 out of ink but it says its not.  Blacks and greys are good.
    what do I do?  I know its operator error but I can't re-produce any of the environment to get decent prints from this so i'm considering junking or returning. really dissapointed.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It is very difficult to determine which side of the matte paper is the printing side.
    Before you decide you have printer/printing problem get some glossy photo paper and try with that.

  • Receiving a false paper jam error message for a 6310 all in one printer

    I have an hp 6310 all in one printer.  It is showing a false paper jam error message with no paper in the printer.  I have tried all  of the fixes that have been suggested on the website as well as on you tube to no avail.  Nothing works, I have cleaned all of the parts that have been suggested to clean and reset the printer. I am still receiving the same paper jam message with no paper in the printer.  Does anyone have any suggestions to try to fix this printer. 

    Do you here any clicks or other sounds when the 6310 first starts up?
    I'm trying to fix false paper jam error on Sharp Fax/copier,F0-4450.
    When researching the problem, found suggestion that a bad solenoid could cause that error. 
    After completely disassembling the copier found that wasn't the problem.
    I here 2 clicks during start up that sounds like gear slipping a tooth, as if something is preventing a shaft from turning.
    Back to the drawing board.
       UPDATE!!! Took fuser out, turned gears with screwdriver til 81/2x11 paper went thru, lubricated ends of fuser roller with powdered graphite lube.
    3 page fax came thru.

  • Paper Jam error message due to broken gear on Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer

    3 year old HP Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-one printer (haven't used it much). Keeps telling "Paper Jam" although there is no paper jammed anywhere (searched meticulously with a flashlight after watching HP's tutorial videos on how to clear paper jams). I started searching on the Internet and found a couple of related videos on Youtube that pointed me in the right direction:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMFW1RRlDHEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwbF2Vs_0gQ  I could hear a clicking noise on that area of the printer each time I turned it on, so I carefully took the black cap apart that was hidding the gear, and confirmed I had the same problem as in the youtube videos above. See picture below showing the white plastic gear part that has a large crack which causes the Paper Jam error message and renders the printer unusable. After Googling a little bit, seems like a relatively common issue and wonder why such a part like that is not made of a stronger material like metal (planned obsolescence maybe?). Does anybody know if there is a way of replacing the broken gear?  (I really care for the environment and I would like to avoid having to throw the relatively new and expensive all-in-way printer away) Thanks a lot in advance for the advice!

    Hey ,  Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum.  I do see that a cracked gear in your HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer is impeding all functionality.  I would like to help you with this but that particular part is not replaceable.  I recommend you reach out to our tech support team to find out what servicing options you have available. You can click on the following link to initiate a case: www.hp.com/contacthp/
    Once you fill out the online form to create your case you can choose from different direct contact methods. I hope this helps. Regards, 

  • HT201406 I was printing and printer jammed. iPad gives the command; an error occurred printing this document Cancel Try Again - no response to either command and the iPad will not let me shut down.

    I was printing docs from my iPad and the printer jammed. iPad's screen now shows: an error occured printing this document - Cancel Try Again - the touch screen will not respond to any command. Cannot turn it off, cannot cancel and cannot try again. I've turned the printer off and restarted it.

    Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My Canon PIXMA MG2120 prints TOO LIGHTLY. How adjust to print DARKER?

    My Canon PIXMA MG2120 prints TOO LIGHTLY. How adjust to print DARKER?

    That's not really the answer.
    The problem is that  it will print at the correct saturation/quality only when borderless printing is not used. I purchased this item because I wanted to be able to print full color borderless prints on a full 8.5x11 sheet of paper. I don't want to have to buy special glossy photo paper just to print borderless. Is this the truth of the matter? You cannot print borderless prints on plain paper without sacrificing significant quality? Does it always assume when you set it to borderless, whether youre in the standard print menu or the photo print menu, that you're printing a photo and it will then default to printing lightly? This is outrageous. They should say something about this in the manual.

  • HP Laserjet 2430dtn Paper Jam Error

    I have got a HP Laserjet 2430dtn and the bit of plastic for the rear paper jam sensor has broken off the printer and as such I now get a permanent 'Rear Paper Jam' error.
    Is it possible to disable the sensor so that I can still use the printer or is the printer dead?

    Chances are the printer has a small bit of paper that is still jammed in it. When paper jams always try to pull in the direction of the paper path! If it tears then remove the toner cartridge to see if you can see any bits of paper inside. I have the Laserjet 1012 which is a similar design, early in it's life I had a similar issue, after removing the toner cartridge and seeing all bits of paper were gone I still got an error. I then removed the top cover of the printer, located and removed the offending piece of paper, put it back together and now several thousands of pages later all is fine.
    If that doesn't work then contact HP's support (they will reply to an email with 24 hours) or go the chat route. If you try to call because you are well out of warranty there will be charge.

  • Canon Pixma MP280 AIO printer - ink levels cannot be displayed - how to resolve this problem?

    Good morning everyone,
         I have a Canon Pixma MP280 AIO printer (about 18 months old) now which I previously had installed on a old Windows 7 Pro x64, SP1 Dell Optiplex 755 computer.  That computer finally bit the dust.
    My present computer is a Dell Optiplex 745, Win 7 SP1 x64 Home Premium  machine.
    Description of problem:  After installing the printer on this computer (using the CD/DVD that originally came with it and following all the instructions), I find the printer will no longer display the ink levels.  Every time I click on "Printer Status", the pop-up box just states the info cannot be displayed.  (All other  functions of the printer work just fine).
    Resolutions attempted thus far w/out success:
    1.  Uninstalled printer and deleted all files associated with it (2 times).  Re-started computer, then re-installed it.
    2.  Emailed Canon Support.  their response did not resolve the issue.  (Don't recall just what they said as I've long since deleted that email reply).
    3.  Searched the Forums here for an identical problem with the same model printer, but didn't see anything.
    My question:  Is there a resolution for this problem?
    Thank you for your time and any help.
    Pete C.

    Yes, thanks for  your follow-up .. .Mine did not work after the day-long shut off.
    I am gonna risk buying a new black ink cartridge since my machine seems to just be running the error on the black alone.
    Good luck with your new one.
    I will probably upgrade too, if this does not work.  I cannot complain about this machine. I had two, one for office and one for home. Both took A LOT of use. And, i used no-name refill cartridges and no-name refill ink for over half the time on the home machine.
    This one, the home one lasted about 6 years, the other about 4+1/2 . I think that is pretty **bleep** (lol it censored the correct spelling of 'dam') good mileage for a fairly inexpensive machine, that got very high ratings, and gave me all those features.
    Good Luck.

  • Hp x64 D message open door jam in cartridge area

    I turn on printer and it displays "READY".   I print a one page document and it prints fine.  But then the message displays OPEN DOOR JAM IN CARTRIDGE AREA.   I open the door to the cartridge area and there is NO JAM.  I close the door and the display says "READY".   I print again and it prints fine.  Then the message displays OPEN DOOR JAM IN CARTRIDGE AREA.  Repeat repeat repeat.  What is going on here?  Thank you.

    Hi @serta1 ,
    I see by your post that you keep getting a error for a jam in the cartridge area. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    I would double check to make sure a tiny piece of paper isn't stuck inside the toner area. Remove the toner and use a flashlight. Just to rule that out.
    Please check your private messages for additional steps to try.
    In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a wonderful day!
    Thank You.

  • 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.
    Apply this.

  • 4630 printer jamming

    I recently purchased the HP OfficeJet 4630  Print Scan Copy Fax and love it.  Problem is, it keeps jamming.  I have reloaded it, checked the paper, and even opened a new ream of paper.  Still doing it.  Any suggestions??

    Hi there @born2instruct 
    Welcome to the HP Community,
    I saw your post about your Officejet 4630 continuously jamming on you, and wanted to suggest a troubleshooting guide for you. I would mainly recommend a good cleaning of the rollers and that should help with the jams. All of the instructions are in this guide:
    A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP Officejet 4630 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4640 e-All-in-One...
    Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
    If the jams continue, give us a call as the printer might need to be replaced if that does not help!
