Paper jam It displays "paper jam" but there's no more paper jam in the printer

I had this exact problem, but pressing the tray down did not help... But i was on to something. There must be a sensor there, so i tried to blow some air down under the plastic, if some dust should have entered. And then it went like a charm. Kristian

We had exactly the same problem (and this printer had never been used before) - we fed a piece of thick-quality paper, applied a little pressure from the top edge as it descended, and 'voila' the printer has finally fed one sheet right through.

What it is NOT yet doing is aligning correctly with the top margin of the document - it is more or less cropping off the top portion, but I'm trying to finish taxes and this will darn well do for now.

These printers are cheap plastic junk, manufactured to make the trip to landfill as soon as possible. Damn Canon and all the other corporations making these trashy pieces of electronics. (I still have a LaserJet 5MP, and I'm sure HP hates me for it - circa 1995 manufacture). If I can figure out how to get printer drivers for OS 10.5 (mac) it will leave to see more service still. Grrrr.

Please follow these steps to set your printer to defaults:
1. Please make sure your printer is set in Copy Mode.
2. Press the "setup" button, you will find "Maintenance" displayed.
3. Use your arrow keys to locate "Set Defaults" and press "OK".
4. Press the arrow key to find "Use Factory" and press "OK"
This process would reset your printer to Factory defaults.

The first thing I would do is check if there is any small fragments of paper in the printer. If you still cannot see anything, try getting some compressed air and blown the printer out. If that still dose not fix it, you might have a faulty paper sensor. If the printer is in warrenty, I would try and do a warrenty claim.

Testimonial: "thanks. very helpful."

Paper jams can be tricky to solve. The paper is usually stuck inside the printer mechanism so even if there is no visible paper jam, you will still get the paper jam error. Try this:

1. Turn off your printer
2. Open all trays and remove any paper stuck there
3. Locate the button to open the printer, open it and remove any paper stuck there also.
4. Repeate the above step for all buttons that you can find to access the inside of the printer
5. Close all doors and put back all trays
6. Turn on your printer
