I have the same problem, and this printer is really clean. The help guides you through removing the yellow and magenta (bottom two) toners, and turning a green thumb wheel to drive out a jammed sheet. Nothing in there.
There seems to be wear on the picks for the tray 2, but the paper isn't even getting picked as if it's trying to feed.

Re:
The only way to find paper remnants is to unplug the printer and inspect the paper path. It also helps to have a good focusing flashlight, skinny needle nose pliers, a can of compressed air (used sparingly) and a long thin probe. Your specific printer should be giving you jam messages with a location code as well. I?ve attached a link to an HP page containing a diagram of the 3500 paper path and the error code jam locations:

I solved this problem in my shops years ago by not letting anyone else clear jams OR insisting that any paper removed as a result of a jam is given to me. If any corners or pieces are missing I know what to look for and approximately where.

Your best method of troubleshooting is the manual sensor test as this is a generic paper jam error.
on your sensor tests:
0 = off 1 = on
A = TOP OF PAGE SENSOR B = PAPER LOOP SENSOR C = N/A D = FUSER PAPER SENSOR E = DELIVERY-TRAY PAPER-FULL SENSOR F = FUSER PRESSURE-RELEASE SENSOR G = MEDIA SENSOR H = N/A I = MP TRAY SENSOR J = CASSETTE SENSOR K = DOOR OPEN DETECTION SWITCH L = DEVELOPING ESTRANGEMENT SENSOR - CLR M = DEVELOPING ESTRANGEMENT SENSOR - BLK N = MP TRAY MEDIA POSITION SENSOR
A-F are paper path sensors - you can toggle them and watch if they change from 0 to 1. If they do, the problem is not in that area.
G can have states from 0-7 each one representing a different type of paper - shouldn't have anything to do with jamming.
hope this helps. probably a tiny piece of paper or toner somewhere. could also be a torsion spring out of position on a flag.
The pickup rollers are worn out. Replace them and your problem will be gone. While you are sourcing them, use some alcohol. This may give them a little more life.
It appear from here that the exit sensor may be dirty and you can use canned air and blow it out.
You may also be missing the paper out sensor that is located at the bottom of the printer oposite of the paper tray when you pull it out. When the flag arm has fallin out, it will give a false paper jam error when the last sheet has printed from the tray, not knowing or detecting that the tray is now empty.
Thhis error is usually due to a dirty photcell (sensor) in the tray 2 paper feed assembly or a broken sensor flag in the same assembly. Start be removing all cartridges and the transfer belt. Look in the bottom of the printer below the lowest cartridge slot for a removeable cover. That's the area your problem is probably in. I have incuded a link to a free PDF of complete service manual below. Good luck.
Here's a link to the service manual. Most of the issues with this printer can be done on your own once you have downloaded the manual. Parts are available at http://partsurfer.hp.com
If you are getting a paper jam error, but no paper inside- Check your Pick Up rollers in the paper tray and then check for any stuck flags in the printer.
