Hi syarief03120,

Actually you can manually remove the paper from the printer. It can be pulled out from the feed area.
And to clear the paper jam message: You have to take the back cover off, there is a reset switch in the top left hand lock hole. Use an object to push in the pin hole. After that put back the cover on. This should help you fix the problem.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using Fixya.

SOURCE: paper jam in hp deskjet d2560

Most printers have an access panel located in the back of the printer that will allow access for removal of all of the paper. Remove any larger pieces by pulling slowly and gently on the paper.

SOURCE: paper jam in HP deskjet 380 series

I just completely took apart my front feeder unit because I just didn't believe there was a paper stuck in there. Sure enough, when I got to the bottom (an hour later) there it was- and it wasn't from the paper that was jammed. It must have been floating around in there waiting to get in just the right place to block the little sensor wiggly thing.
After I got it out, I realized there was a MUCH easier solution--- get some heavy paper (I used cardboard folded in half) and manually feed it through the paper feeder in the front assembly by hand. You can see where it should go in (it's where the paper from Tray 1 goes in) and out (it lines up with the belt in the main body of the printer) and there is a large gear on the side you can turn to help you get it through (just turn the gears until you feel the one that grabs your heavy paper.)
As it comes out, it should have your stuck paper with it.

SOURCE: HP deskjet 1280 paper jam

Yes you can manually remove the paper. It can be pulled out from the feed area (pulled out backwards).
To clear the jam status....
Take the back cover off, there is a reset switch in the top left hand lock hole. Push a pen (or similar) into this hole, the switch will give slightly and be the same depth as the others.

put the cover back on, all should be well

HP DESKJET 1280

I had this problem too and found that the rear cover (the one that you remove to clear a paper jam) was not correctly fitted and locked. After resetting the vover and fully locking it worked! Try it.

Paper jam

Carefully pull it out. Try not to rip the paper, because you may get some stuck inside. It may be necessary to open the printer up and even remove part of the cover to get it all out.
