Printing on photopaper stops in mid-print, says "paper jam"

Hello!
I've been trying to print photos on photo papers on the HP Officejet 4355 All-in-One printer.
I've tried the HP Premium Plus and HP Advanced photo paper in the Paper Type, and Best print quality settings, colored.
The paper goes in, prints about an inch of the image (in best wuality), but then the printer will stop and the printer would display an error message "Paper Jam."
I pushed the "Cancel" button, and the printer expelled the paper with no problems (except that i now have a semi-printed photo on my photopaper) and cancelled the print job on the WinXP Printer job dialog box.
I've only placed one paper in the paper tray, so multiple paper in the rollers is not a problem.
I've checked all the rollers. I've aligned and cleaned the cartridges. I have no problem printing on normal (substance 20-24GSM) paper.
I've also tried printing on cards (around 40-80GSM) but the same problem would occur -- paper would go in, will print an inch, stops then printer says paper jam.
How do get the printer to print completely on the photopaper or on any cards?
I've checked the user's manual, so far i have not read any troubleshooting solutions for this problem. Apologies for my long post. I hope you can give me some suggestions.
Thank you very much in advance!
Warm regards,
Jade

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @IdahoElk
I read your post about the printer issues you're having with your Officejet 100 Mobile printer. I have a couple of suggestions that may help you.
First of all, power reset the printer and 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.
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 30 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Also, check out this troubleshooting document. Check the issues to see if you can find the description to what you are seeing on your printer.

If the troubleshooting does not help at all, I would lastly suggest technical support.

The print carriage will not move even after the paper jam has been cleared

I had a paper jam this morning and cleared it out completely. I keep getting a message on my HP ENVY 4500 that says the print carriage cannot move. Open the ink cartridge access door, clear any paper jam or obstruction, ensure ink cartridge levers are lower and snapped.

Office Jet Pro. 8610, brand new, says paper jam, but there is not one!

have a office Jet Pro. just bought it. it keep stopping during set up telling me i have a papaer jam. I have not put any papaer in it yet!!! i have taken it apart like the directions. but will not come out of the papaer jam screen. i am very frustrated. if i can not fix this soon, i will return it!!!

Hey there @sbrogers2001 , welcome to the HP Community
I read about your new Officejet 8610 showing a "Paper Jam" error, when there is no paper in the printer. This would be a "false" paper jam, which is troubleshot the same way as a regular jam. Please try the steps from the guide I posted for you below and if the error continues, give us a call as you most likely would need a replacement printer.

HP officejet 100 Mobile Printer Stops in Mid Print

This printer worked fine (NO problems with Bluetooth even) for the first couple of months and several changes in print cartridges. For the last year, every time I print a document, it will either stop printing on the second or third document or stop in the middle of the first document, and all the indicator lights come on telling me I need to clean cartridges, etc. Every time is different. Some times it is one indicator error light, the next print job may trigger all the lights. Every print job I execute and it fails, I have to remove the battery, re-insert the battery and print again. It works every time after I reprint the job after removing the battery. The next document triggers errors again and it will not print. I do not have a warranty, but I am ready to throw it in the garbage! What can I do? I am running on a Mac Osx system. Please help. Thank you!

ADF says paper jam

I was scanning using the ADF when it came up with the message. There was no jam I opened the cover and lifted the carraige under the cover No Paper found jammed. Now I cannot even use the flatbed scan as it continues to tell me to ofen feeder cover and unjam. I would like to be able to use the flatbed scanner and would not care if I could not use the feeder.
Is there a way to disable the Feeder and just use the flatbed scanner?

Hello @Lee2015, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing ADF jam issues. I would 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 plugging the printer power into a different wall outlet.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Troubleshooting a paper jam and print cradle.

Hi
The print cradle cannot sometimes move to it's right position in my HP All-in-one Photosmart C3180 printer.
I have tried several things and also been talking to customer support in Norway and in the U.S. about my isssues with the printer. It seems that my printer has done it's last printing job, but I'm looking for more help if there's another troubleshooting or if people here in the support forum knows about other procedures which can fix my printer.
* Checklist of what I've done
1. Resetting the printer accurately.
2. Uninstall/install all print cartridges.
3. Looking for any paper jams or barriers which can cause the print cradle to not move. But there are no barriers.
The cradle sometimes wont get back to it's position only.
3. Cleaning the printer (doesn't work because of the cradle wont move.
4. Cleaning the cradle and sensors.

Hello @AKAJEF ,
Thank you for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us!
At this point all I can say is it is a hardware issue and you are looking at replacing the printer.
Sorry to be the person that had to tell you that but I can't offer any more direction past what you have already done. I would recommend calling phone support back and seeing what options they have for you.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.
I hope this helps. Sorry that I couldn't be of any help, printers are hard to deal with when it comes to hardware as replacement parts aren't sold separately.
I worked for HP.

Print message print cartridge cannot move because of paper jam but the paper jam has been cleared.

My Envy 4502 printer message window says that the print cartridge cannot move and to clear any paper jam obstruction. There was a paper jam and I cleared it but the message "the print cartridge cannot move and to clear any paper jam obstruction" remains there and I cannot remove it or get the printer to print. I tried everythng listed in the troubleshooting section of the help guide in the software. I uninstalled the printer and then reinstalled it which didn't help in the slightest--the message about the print cartridge is still there. I also tried unplugging the printer overnight (to try to clear the memory) and this also did not help--that message is still there. By the way, I can easily move the printer cartridge by hand and I can hear the cartridge moving when the printer attempts to work. I would appreciate any help from anyone to get my printer to work again!

Paper Jam for HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer

Paper Jam for HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer:
I had a paper jam and cleared the paper from the printer. Now every time I turn the printer "on" it picks up the top piece of paper from the tray and runs it about ½ to ¾ of the way thru the paper feed, stops, and then displays message "paper jam clear paper and then press OK". When I do that it simply picks up the next piece of paper off the tray and does the message again. If I push the OK button on the printer it will simply finish the ejection and then pick up the next paper from the tray, and do the same thing. I have examined the interior (and exterior) of the printer for paper scraps and any other obvious sign of trouble (dirty drive wheels, missing rollers, broken springs, etc...) and can not see anything unusual. I can not print a test print because of the paper jam message. I am running Windows XP and the printer has been working fine for months (until this recent jam). I did all the steps from the HP fix it site including clean rollers, plug and unplugged, carriage travel OK and more. Don't know what to do now........Any help would be great!!!! Thank you!

Hi my printer psc 1610 hp not picking paper

Why do print jobs from Firefox create paper jam in my HP printer?

Running v3.6.13 in Win7 64-bit OS on HP laptop. Printer is a wireless networked HP Photosmart C7280. Print jobs from web pages result in a paper jam every time. Print jobs of documents from other applications as well as web pages from Internet Explorer all print normally. Jobs sent from 2 Macs in same network print normally. I think I've narrowed this down to Firefox being the only app to cause this problem.
The print jobs sent from the HP laptop send one blank page through the printer in front of each printed page. Printer properties, advanced, for the printer show a "separator page" for each print job which cannot be changed or disabled, AFAIK. The Firefox print jobs send the blank page correctly but the next page on which the job should be printed is the one that jams and stalls the printer. I remove the jammed paper, reset the printer and nothing more happens - the job is ended, nothing in the queue.

Hi @annmade ,
I will certainly do my best to help you remove the rest of the paper jam inside the printer.
I have provided some documentation for removing paper jams. Please go to page 69 of the manual.
HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series Printer.
I would suggest to try running a plain piece of paper through, by running a cleaning page through the printer. It might help since you are unable to access the rest of the pieces of paper inside the printer. Resolving Print Quality Issues. Go to Solution six: Clean inside the product. I don't have any documents for disassembling the printer.
If the issue continues, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836, to see if they have a replacement option for you or a trade in option.

Paper jam when printing photo from Microsoft Photo Editor

On my C7280, I want to print a photo from Microsoft Photo Editor onto plain 8.5x11 paper. This always produces a paper jam. If I copy/paste the photo into, say, Word, and print from Word, the document prints properly.
This is not a "false paper jam" - the printer attempts to feed the paper, and jams (and creases) the paper in the attempt.
In Photo Editor, I explicitly chose "plain paper" and "main tray", rather than automatic settings.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello @Lonewolf777 ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are getting paper jams when printing from your Android device.
I would like to help.
Have you tried to print using the HP ePrint app?
Also, if you are having problems using the in OS print system, install the HP Print Service Plug in.
It acts like a print driver for your phone.
If it is already installed, try the old, uninstall and reinstall trick.
Alternately, you can call the folks over at the HP Cloud Services department.
Please call our Cloud Services at 855-785-2777.
