Hi
Turn it off and on.
Check through the paper paths and clear any paper jam.
Try disconnecting the printer.
Leave it for like 2 hours and then connect it again.

Possible reasons are:

Paper jam:
Clear the paper jam. If the printer does not start printing, press the control panel button.
No paper:
Put paper in the printer. Then press the control panel button.
Misfeed:
Put the paper back in properly, and then press the control panel button. The printer will start printing again.

Printer is in alarm mode stating a paper jam when there isn't one?????

Even though u cant see a jam there there is exactly a jam inside
U believe it or not thats why paper jam
Look for the paper detection sensor below the carriage
use ur common sense
I cant say exactly it is detect sensor it may be some other sensor related to gear wheel set
but most of the cases paper jam occurs due to malfunction of paper detect sensor
If u find it use a thin tool to see it is working properly
otherwise give it to someone know how to repair & pay a reasonable price
thx

My HP deskjet 2050 all-in-one printer only shoots out blank paper and won't print. It used to say there was no paper in it, which there was. It scans & prints just fine - just won't print...

Any error messages on the printer digital screen or the desktop? I take it the "The ink is fine" means that there is ink in the cartridges!

Try a test print via the Control Panel> Printers and Faxes> properties > Print test page.
