REINSTALL SOFTWARE TO PRINTER...GL

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Remove any paper trays. Inspect them for wrinkled or damaged paper.
3. Also open the back cover of the printer if this model has one.
4. Open any other doors that give access to the printer's paper path and to the toner or ink cartridge.
5. If necessary, remove the toner or ink cartridge. Place it away from light/ sun light to avoid damaging it.
6. If you find a piece of jammed paper, remove it by holding it with both hands and pulling firmly. The goal is to keep the paper from tearing. If several pieces are jammed together, try pulling out the middle piece first to loosen the jam.
7. If the paper does tear, try rotating the roller gears manually to free the paper. Don't force anything, though. Do this step especially if the jam message comes up repeatedly without any obvious paper jam, there may be a small tear of paper inside.
8. Ones the printer is free of paper Replace the toner or ink cartridge and paper trays, close any doors you opened and turn the printer back on.
9. If the printer paper jam message still appears, then there is still some paper in the printer. Reinspect the paper path.
10. see alternative if the problem is still not solved.
    

alternative :
Load a piece of thick paper, for example photo paper and press the resume button (may be diffrent button on diffrent models) a few times to the printer picks up the paper and puts it through the machine.

If the problem is not solved the printer would need to be taken apart and cleaned, there maybe some paper inside or something else that is not supposed to get in there.

I would recommend sending it to a repairer in that case, or contact your dealer or hp for warranty repair. This may not be covered by warranty, check with your dealer or hp.

Many times Internet Explorer will give you a hard time printing e-mails. When I use another browser there is no problem. Firefox works better.

Your computer crashing several times a day is the bigger issue here. You need to resolve this first. Update your OS software, your disk probably should be wiped, reformatted and reinstalled cleanly. After that, I suspect that your printer problems will go away.

I've had the same problem. Take out the cartridge and wipe the copper strip gently with alcohol. Not a lot of alcohol. Just enough to wipe off any dirt. Or, unplug the printer for a few minutes and then plug it back in to reset the memory. The error message you are getting is for a dead cartridge. Take it back and get a different one. Even if it's filled, it can still be dead. There's a micro chip in the cartridge that's suppose to prevent refilling of cartridges. I have had no luck going to Walgreen's. Go to the store and buy boxed refilled cartridges or go to inkhets.com . Don't try to do it yourself. Not worth the hastle.

NO

I had the same problem with my HP photosmart 7450. It started with frequent paper jams, to the point where it happened everytime it pulled the paper in to print. I had the rattle also, turned it upside down and the pin fell out, just like yours. I'll bet it's happening to many other 7450's. Anyway, I was able to repair it myself.
The pin attaches to a small black plastic gear, about 1/2 in. in diameter, in the paper feed roller, (on the right side, and not visable from the front). I had to remove the misc. covers, several screws attaching different things, includind the sliding ink absorber on the right side, (that was fun) to where I could see the loose gear. This was no easy task. I'm an auto mechanic, so I enjoy a challenge. However, as much as I like the printer, I was ready to toss it in the dumpster if I couldn't figure it out. First you'll need a small "torx" screwdriver or two, as well as some other basic tools. If you're patient, good with your hands and have a good sense of how things work, you can probably repair it yourself also. Let me know if you're successful.
Good luck!.....Ron J........ [email protected]

this can be caused by power glitches blowing the drivers out. I'd connect the printer to it's own power strip, and then directly into the wall outlet. Do NOT plug any modems or wireless devices into the same power strip. Got backup?

Also, this link will give you information and steps to take regarding the lights on your product.

Hope this helps. Please remember to rate this information.

There's a rubber part in the printer on the right inside the printer underneath the print carriage that slides back and forth. If this has moved it will foul the print head. I moved mine back into the right place and the print head now moves freely.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Paul.

I posted some help on separating the 2 covers. I didn't do any further dismantling than that ..

Cheers,
