When I go to print, the paper gets jammed in the printer and doesn't come out until I remove it by removing the print cartridge first. Nothing gets printed at all. I would be grateful if someone can offer any solution to this problem. Thanks
Typically, most of the time paper jams are caused by a defective photostatic print drum. When the drum goes bad and can no longer hold a charge, the paper sticks to the drum because the paper has a charge on it that attracts the two. There would be where I would look first. Now, if thats not it, the feed rollers could be getting worn. For a quick fix, take some fine sandpaper, and scuff up the rollers a little. This will create enough friction to allow the paper to feed through the printer smoothly. Keep in mind that using th sandpaper is only a stop gap measure. If the rollers are worn, they will need to be replaced soon. Hope this helps. Good luck.
