Permanent alert of paper jam after cleaning a printer HP 5L

There are a few common HP printer Problems:
1. Streaks through printing - Clean printhead using windex and alcohol swabs.
Run a "clean printhead cycle"
2. Paper jams: Check all paper paths using a flashlight. Remove rear cover or duplexer to get more access. Even a tiny piece of a paper or another object can disrupt the printer functionality.
3. Skewed printing -
Check for the duplex unit or paper path to be fully inserted on both sides. If skewed printing only appears when making a copy, the scanner lamp is misplaced or out of rail.
Paper will not feed.
Try cleaning the paper pick up roller with some cleaning solution or alcohol swabs. Usually does the trick!
Good luck! HP is a good printer.

Clean all of the rubber feeders with alcohol/rubber restorer in the paper path of printer.

Paper path sensors dusty, clean all paper path sensors as well as verify sensor flags & springs..

If you are getting a 'carriage jam' error as soon as you turn on your printer with no tasks in progress, then check for any piece of paper stuck in the carriage. Remove the paper carefully. If the paper tears, part of it might remain inside the paper path and damage the product.

Follow the steps for fix HP Printer Carriage Jam

• Turn off the printer and open it to see where the paper is stuck.
• Manually move the carriage toward the opposite side.
• Check the paper path and remove any piece of paper or any other object that is stuck in the path.
• Reconnect the power cord and turn on the printer.

An error code showing that there is paper jam alert, but no paper is in anywhere in the machine except in the tray.....I have checked all areas, taken the back carriage of the unit, opened the top and opened the machine. removed the paper tray, everything, but there is no paper stuck in the unit

Make sure all paper has been removed from the paper path.
Even a small scrap will cause a jam.
The other thing you may want to do is clean the paper rollers with alcohol.
This cleans any paper dust that has gathered on the rollers, and allows better paper movement.

Hello there
i know you have cleared the jam but i would go back and really look closley at the paper path and the internals a small piece off of a paper can cause this to claim it has a jam also if you turn off the printer and use canned air to blow out the whole insides this will help too also clean offf any lenses with a eyeglass cleaner ok ?
best regards mike

Parts are no longer available. You might be able to clean the feed roller by removing the toner cartridge and cleaning the gray roller with isoprpyl alcohone.

MOST HP PRINTERS HAVE A DOOR ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE PRINTER THAT CAN BE OPENED TO REMOVE A PAPER JAM. HAVE YOU TRIED USING THIS TO CLEAN THE PAPER JAM. THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING STUCK IN THE PAPER PATH THAT IS CAUSING THE JAMS. CHECK THE WHOLE PAPER PATH FROM THIS REAR ACCESS DOOR. OK?

You need to check if you put it back together correctly. The sensors need to move up and down with the paper.
