Causes of jams
NOTE If you are experiencing jams in the duplex paper path, make sure that the duplex-tray
lever is set to the correct media size for your country/region. Open the duplex-paper-path door
and look at the embossed arrow on the lever. Make sure that it points to the media size for your
country/region. If the size needs to be changed, push the lever all the way in for duplex printing
on letter- and legal-size media, or pull it all the way out for duplex printing on A4-size media.

Occasionally, paper or other print media can become jammed during a print job. Some causes include
the following events:
? The print media that is being used does not meet HP specifications.
? The media is damaged or has objects attached to it, such as staples or paper clips.
? The environment in which the print media was stored is too humid or too dry.
? The input trays are loaded incorrectly or overfilled, or the media guides are not set correctly.
? Too many sheets have accumulated in an output area, or sheets are blocking an output area.
? Media is added to or removed from an input tray during a print job or an input tray is removed from
the all-in-one during a print job.
? The cartridge door is opened during a print job.

Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off.
I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with
the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the
printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

check this out....when the printer reports the jam, open the paper tray very carefully and slowly.
Has the paper moved at all forward? Has it moved like 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch out of the tray?
If so, you probabaly need a torque limiter, no tools, $10 or so and a very very easy fix.
POBCM is very correct when he points out that the block/stop in the back of the tray moves when the tray is closed with too much force and this is the #1 cause most of the time.
You may see a "41.3" code displayed if the block is not up to the back of the paper and the paper is not all the way forward in the trays, and under the two metal clips at the front of the tray.

Here's what you do. Take a look at the photo below.
Open the cover of the printer, where the ink cartridges are located. Behind the ink cartridges is the carriage, which is a box that moves side-to-side on a pair of rails. It's the thing that sprays the ink onto the paper.
You have to reach in with your hand and slide this thing to the center. Then, look to the very sides, left and right, for any bits of paper. If you look at the second picture, you can see my finger pointing to a small bit of paper that tore of and got jammed into the side. See the little crumpled bit of paper? It's preventing the carriage from sliding all the way to the right. You could have little bits on the right or left side. I had to reach in with needle-nose pliers to grab the paper bits out, but maybe your fingers are small enough.
Once the little bits of paper were out, I was back in business. Good luck!

Follow the instructions in this video. If you follow those instructions and still get the message, you may need to replace your printer or the rear door.
SOURCE: middle light blinking message says paper
Look for any small rips of paper caught in a sensor back there. There are little "fingers" that the paper runs over and its all timed. if one of those sensors are jammed with something or sticky, error messages.
Testimonial: "Excellant feedback! Great solution...Timely also. I highly recommend your site for anyone having a technical hardware or software issue!!"
