OLD PSC 2175 all in one PAPER JAM

I have tried every suggestion I could find on this forum and went so far as to take it apart and clean up the ink dribbles and reset all cable connects. then I did the uninstall/reinstall.
When I try to print, The paper comes too far forward by about an 1.5 or 2 inches and then I get the pop up "JAMMED". I pull the paper thru, reinsert it in tray, press enter and it prints. Is it time for the trash heap? It's seven years old but has only done about 2 500 packs of paper. Thanks for any help.

  • HP PSC 2355 all-in-one Paper Jam Error

    Hi. I have an HP PSC 2355 all-in-one printer that has worked well for a long time but when i switched it on today to do some printing, it made some strange noises and when i tried to print it sent an error saying there was a paper jam - but there was not !
    It feeds a sheet of paper in about half way through then stops and the error is displayed.
    I tried doing a copy, and the exact same thing happens.
    Has anyone got an idea what has gone wrong ?
    Thanks.

  • HP PSC 2175 All-in-one prints blank pages from word, chrome and notes

    My HP all-in-one printer PSC 2175 all-in-one has suddenly decided to print blank pages.
    So far I've tried printing from Word, Notes and Photoshop but come up with nothing. 
    It prints test pages and diagnostic pages without any problems and it makes direct copies without problems.
    The diagnostic tool can't find anything wrong. 
    I've run all the software I could find on Swedish HP. 
    I've reinstalled the printer, reinstalled Word, repaired Windows, nothing helps.
    I have Windows XP, fully updated.
    Any suggestions?
    HP PSC 2175

    I am having this problem too - just prints blank pages. Ran the tests checked cartridges settings sanity nothing.Scans fine.I currently have three duff printers in my office which is more than frustrating...

  • HP officejet j4680 all-in-one paper jam issue

    I bought HP officejet j4680 all-in-one two months ago from a dealer. Now it keeps telling me a "paper jam" which doesn't exist. I tried everything from the troubleshooting in HP website. The jam light just keeps blinking. Now I am so frustrated with this product.

    @CAGY, take a look at this HP link on how to clear a jam.

  • HP Officejet 5610 All-in-one paper jam problem

    Please is anyone out who can heIp me.
    I tried to print a word document from my computer and my printer came up with the following message: Paper jam: clear jam and press ok. I have looked through the printer to see if there is any paper jammed in the printer. I just couldn't find any. This is the first time I have experienced this paper jam problem with my printer.
    On pressing the OK button resulted in the printer making some strange noise (sounding as if it is trying to pickup a paper) with the catridge mechanism sliding from one side to the other for about 10 seconds without a paper in the paper tray being picked up. It then shows the paper jam message again and again. It has been the same for the last 5 hours and I need to print some documents urgently.
    I have tried all of the following troubleshooting I found on the HP website without any joy.
    Step one: Remove any loose paper Remove any loose paper from the input tray.
    Step two: Clear the jam from the back of the Allin-
    One 1. On the rear of the product, press in the tab on the left side of the rear access
    door to release the door. Pull the door away from the product to remove it. Gently pull the
    paper out of the rollers. CAUTION: If the paper tears while being removed from the
    rollers, check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might have remained
    inside the product. Loose pieces of paper will cause future paper jams. Replace the
    rear access door. Gently push the door forward until it snaps into place. Press OK to
    continue the current print job. If the issue is not resolved , continue to the next step. If
    the issue is resolved , you do not need to continue to the next step. If these steps
    resolved the issue , there is no need to continue troubleshooting. If the issue persists , see the next step.
    Step three: Clean the rollers Turn off the unit, and then unplug the power cord. Press in the tab on
    the left side of the rear clean-out door to release the door. Remove the door by
    pulling it away from the unit. Wipe the paper rollers with a lint-free cloth lightly moistened
    with distilled or bottled water. Rotate the rollers with your fingers to clean all the way
    around. Allow the rollers to dry completely, and then replace the rear access door. Plug
    the unit back in and turn it on. If these steps resolved the issue , there is no need to
    continue troubleshooting. If the issue persists , see the next step.
    Step four: Clear the jam from the automatic document feeder (ADF) Lift the cover of the ADF. 
    Lifting the ADF cover Gently pull the paper out of the rollers. CAUTION: If the paper
    tears when being removed from the rollers, check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces
    of paper that might be remaining inside the product. Loose pieces of paper will cause
    future paper jams. Close the cover of the ADF. If these steps resolved the issue ,
    there is no need to continue troubleshooting. If the issue persists , see the next step. The
    next step couldn't be done because the paper is not loading.

  • "Stuttered​" printing in middle of page on psc 2175 all in one

    I have been very happy with my 2175 for several years.
    Then today I have experienced all kinds of problems.
    A lot of noises, best described as Grinding.  Also, the msg "Open door, clear carriage jam then press enter, -- following which I would get a msg to the effect of "Close cartridge Door, etc."
    I have went through the procedures (several times) found on the website for trouble shooting the problems including doing the "cleaning procedures", (including cartridges and  paper rollers/wheels doing a through search for any paper jams etc . (none found),doing all the power off- power on -- cycling suggestions.
    Right now, I have been able to print without strange noises, But I have "stuttered" printing in the middle of page of any printed document -- a MS Word Letter, or a printed webpage for example .  By "Stuttered" I mean a slight shift and reprint of characters.
    The shift is much less than a standard character width on some documents consisting of only 2 or 3 characters.   By middle of page,  I mean the stuttering is confined to about 10 per cent of the page width - and right in the middle.  The Left and right  sides of the printed document appear fine.
    Is it time for a new printer?  I hope not.
    Thanks,
    This question was solved.

    Gently clean the encoder strip as described here.  Heed the warnings, the strip is fragile and can be damaged by rough handling.

  • HP OfficeJet All-in-One Paper Jam

    I have been given to troubleshoot an OfficeJet 6210 All-in-One Printer/copier/fax machine.  It suffered a paper jam for its troubles.  I had cleared the jam from the machine and checked everywere else I could check freely without cracking it open.  I restarted it and it gave me the same error.  I finally had it do a partial reset to try and fix it.  What it gave me was the same error message.  Short of opening it up with a screwdriver and patience, what could potentially still keep giving me the error message after all steps have been taken to clear it and it failed?

  • Hp 1350 all in one "paper jam" message

    I have a HP 1350 All In One Printer and I can print a test sheet but I can't print, I get a "paper jam" message.  Help

    Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
    the power cord from the printer then from the
    wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to
    wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power
    up’ and restore the printer to a known good
    condition (if it is possible). No user settings
    are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
    This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
    tools to use when the printer hardware is not
    functioning properly!

  • HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One Paper Jam

    Hi, I'm getting a paper jam error on my printer screen when setting up my 5610 after a long time of no use. I followed this guide but it did not work. I checked the back, the rollers, everything. The problem is that the cartridge carrying box goes from right to left once and then from left to right and when it tries to go left again it is stuck in place. It keeps trying to go left but to no avail. After a bit, I get the paper jam error but there is no paper anywhere in the printer. What can I do?
    Thank you.

  • HP psc 2175 all in one not responding to paper size selected

    Im trying to print out wedding invitations using the downloaded template from the invitation company, through microsoft word 2003, windows xp, sp3. And my printer wont respond to any aper size selections other than 8.5x11. It won't even let me change to one of the other options in the paper size drop down box. I can put in the paper sizes, but when I print, it's not changed. And in print preview, it won't let me change the document at all. I've made sure everything is up to date.

    A complete re-install worked. I completely formatted and the reinstalled Snow Leopard and life is good.

  • I have a psc 2175 all-in-one. "Automatic Two Sided Printing Module Is Missing."

    Whenever I try to print on both sides of the paper, I get this message:
    Automatic Two Sided Printing Module is Missing."
    There doesn't seem to be anywhere that a module would be inserted into this printer. Am I missing something here? Very confusing! Please help!

    Via the control panel, find your printer and right-click it and choose "Printing Defaults..."  From there click the Services tab and open the HP Toolbox.  In there click the Configuration tab and un-check "Automatic Two-Sided Printing Module" and click "Apply".  This will get back the dialog that tells you when it's time to turn your pages around.
