Hp laserjet 1320 paper jams constantly. not even one page prints. what could be the problem?

Attention light is blinking
This state can be reached in
the following circumstances:
?Paper tray is empty
?Door open
?Paper jam
?Misfeed from tray

1.Verify that the print cartridge is present and that the print-cartridge door is closed correctly.

2.Verify that media is present in the input tray.

3.Clear any jams and perform paper-path functional checks.

4.Make sure that the interlocks are operating correctly.

To reset the printer after a jam, press the GO button

On the HP LaserJet 1320, the attention light is a generic alarm. It can mean out of paper, paper jam, paper misfeed, cartridge missing, or cartridge door open. You can try cleaning the pickup roller or changing the separation pad. You can find these maintenance steps in the user manual starting on page 73 (page 83 of the PDF). HP has the manual here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00208215 . More guides are available on the product page: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-laserjet-1320-printer-series/410622/model/410624/manuals . Amazon has the separation pad available here: https://www.amazon.com/RM1-1298-HP-Separation-Tray-P2015/dp/B009SPB1H4 . Links to replacement pickup rollers are on this page. There are probably other sources for the parts as well.

Unfortunately, it can also indicate that a part has broken from paper pickup unit or the door closed sensor isn't working. At my home when our LaserJet 1320 reached ~10 years old, we got this message and decided to replace the printer. It wasn't worth trying to locate and repair the problem when cleaning the pickup roller and paper path didn't work.

I hope this helps.

Check your paper tray, if the tray is ok look at the feed rollers.

my hp printer 1320 always prints two papers one of them is white.
what caused this problem?

As Vishwanathu stated first try cleaning the pickup roller. It is located on the bottom of the printer. Remove the paper tray and you will find it as shown here.


If cleaning the roller does not solve the issue then the roller kit will need to be replaced. The rubber tire gets worn down and become smooth, when this happens it can't grip the paper right to feed it into the printer. The roller kit for the Laserjet 1320 is available here:

I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.

My printer get jammed with a thick paper. I cannot see where the paper is.

Yes you can replace the transfer roller, but check to make sure the roller is firmly seated into its holder and that the springs are contacting the metal shaft.

Good Luck

check to make sure if the ink or your toner is install properly becoz it might fell of its correct position.

I see this problem alot after a paper jam occurs and someone has pulled the stuck paper out. There is probably a piece of paper stuck in the printer somwhere. If you open the front toner door and take the cartridge out, you will see a roller at the bottom front. DON"T touch the roller but take it out. You may find the paper there!

Managed to solve this myself: I disassembled the printer and noticed there was a paper jammed in the duplex tray. Rolls were all ok, but the paper blocked the use of the duplex pathway. For disassembly help check the HP 1320 service manual, which you can find on the net as a PDF.
