Its very difficult to answer a question with limited details
1. WONT print photos ( is this an Ink issue Have you checked ink levels and have you gone through the ink cleaning methods ie cleaning clogged heads, Nozzle checks 90% of the time the reason why printer is not printing correctly is because the nozzle or heads are blocked, And sometimes it can be the ink cartridge itself that is faulty.
Again with the paper issue it does not take much for a paper Jam alert to pop up disconnect turn printer round use big light and double check there is no snags of paper trapped in there if you have a compressor which is ideal for blowing out paper dust and snags
Again with limited details it hard to advise but I hope this helps

I am positive there is no paper jam with my printer (Z2420) but message of paper jam still appears and it won't let me clear it.

Sometimes a very small piece of paper can still be in the printer paper path after clearing a jam especially if the paper tears while removing the jam. The piece of paper may be too small to notice. Try blowing out the paper area with compressed air. Other causes could be the thickness of paper you are trying to print on, ie photo paper, thicker bond paper. Make sure the print settings match the paper thickness. I have a Lexmark laser printer, and I will get feed problems if the settings are not set for the correct paper type.

I hope this helps.

My epson 710 artisan gives an error message that there is a paper jam or is out of paper, when I try to print a photo, it feeds through 2 blank 4*6 photo papers. There is NO paper jam when I check it, and...

Hello, Your printer makes a "grinding sound". This is usually due to two things:
1. A dirty printhead rail. It is either ink residue or dry. Try gently cleaning it with some water.
2. Paper pick up roller(s) not picking up. Clean them with a damp terry cloth towel or a multi-purpose cleaner.
If you have unable to fix it please contact me at 1800-204-4427. I can help you out.
Good luck!!

Paper jammed but no paper is jammed.

Sounds like something has fallen into the paper path. Use a flashlight and small mirror to look down the slot where the paper goes. You may have to use a straightened paper clip or the like to help remove the obstruction.

I need your help please.

Make sure you are using the paper that come under the specifications of the printer (102 x 153 mm (4 x 6 inches) for a Photo Paper). Though you are using the correct paper and you are getting the same message, then just set the paper type as "Plain" and try to print from the photo paper. It works in most of the cases


gud luck

Photo paper jamming.

You didnt tell us what phtopaper you use. Especially the weight of the paper! Brother printers are known to have probs with paper thicker then 220g. The paperfeeder cant feed the paper correctly into print position.

another reason might be that the paper isnt placed well into position. Have a look around the FAQ, too:

BTW: If you print a lot of photos it might be cheaper to do that with a (online) print shop.
