.Torn paper jammed in the printer. I cannot see the torn bits.
I tried to print on a piece of ordinary A3 paper, which I loaded,,,folded on the right as loaded into the printer , The paper was therefore A4 size, but double thickness. It did not print,, but jammed. I managed to pull out , gently, most of the paper but it tore, and two separate pieces about 14 X 8cm and 12 x 8 are stuck in there somewhere.
Printer will not print, Pressing the" PaperJam" button (Top oner of the four) causes an alarmiing loud grating noise, so I turned the printer off.
Yes, very many thanks for the remedy. It worked like a charm, as we say in the UK.
Not yet printed an A3 photograph, but my test prints of two letters on A4 paper are absolutely fine.
Most impressive service, and quick, too. I presume you are in US somewhere?

HI-
Check on the very left hand side of the printer if you can see specks of paper inside, you can open up the printer cover to be able to see or locate where the specks of paper if there is any. make sure as well that the tray for the cd is properly push in or not open, chances if all fails is your paper sensor is damaged, call epson for replacement if under warranty. If not have it serviced.

Preventing paper jams
The following recommendations can help prevent recurring paper jams in your HP product.
Before loading paper in the tray, hold the stack of paper, and then tap the bottom edge on a flat surface so that the stack is even on all sides.
Make sure that the length and width adjusters on the tray are correctly positioned, and then push the stack of paper forward until it stops in the tray.
CAUTION:
Do not force the paper to move too far forward in the tray.
Do not overload the tray with paper.
Only add paper to the tray when the product is not printing.
Make sure the HP product supports the paper type. See the documentation that came with the HP product for more information.
Do not print on paper with paper clips or staples attached.
Do not use paper that is bent, torn, dusty, damp, wrinkled, curled, or paper that does not lie flat.
Use only one type of paper at a time. Do not mix different types, weights, or sizes of paper.
Do not use paper that is too thin, too thick, or too glossy for the product.
Cause
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.
Smaller torn bits of paper may still be in the printer. Unplug the power, open the back access panel. Look for torn or jammed paper. Also check the ADF (auto document feeder) for a jam.
When you try it again, Dell recommends that you fan your paper. Fanning the paper helps break apart the bonds left by improperly cut paper which leaves the edges of the sheets interlocked.
The paper used for printing should not be wet, torn or folded from any side as this can cause paper jam, hence resulting in carriage jam. Also, use only one type of paper at a time while printing. The paper should be added to the In-tray only when the printer is not in use. Make sure not to overfill the In-tray.get more information http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/Printer-Paper-Jam/m-p/126558
