Blinking green light
Here is the diag lights information from the HP 1160 service manual. It really sounds like you have worn pickup rollers in your printer. When these rollers get worn out the printer can not pickup the paper to feed it into the unit so it thinks that this is a paper jam but in fact no paper even moved. Pull the paper tray out and inspect the pickup roller. The surface should be like a fingerprint, not smooth, but with a rough texture. If it does appear smooth then they will need to be replaced. They roller can be purchased from Amazon and is end user installable. You can get one here:
