HP Color LaserJet 2600n Printer Logo
Posted on Oct 08, 2009

Sometimes my HP Laser Jet 2600n printer takes 250gm paper and sometimes it says Paper Jam but no paper jammed? I have tried everything and there is no obvious reason of why it works sometimes and then suddenly stops working. Any ideas?

    It was only ordered a few weeks ago but I didn't know this could happen.

    Sometimes it says jam and then when you select the tick it then prints. I can hear the tray trying to pick up the paper and it just doesn't seem to be able to sometimes.

    Yes, have tried this both with filling it up and also with having just a few sheets in. I think I have just come to the conclusion that the printer just can't take paper at 250gsm. Perhaps trying 200 may work better???

  • kris_k593 Oct 09, 2009

    200gsm paper works fine so perhaps the printer isn't capable of printing on 250gsm.

    Thanks for all your help though.

How old is the paper that you are using? Paper can soak up moisture from the air causing it not to feed correctly.

    Are you filling the tray up all the way with paper? I have found with some paper, it doesn't feed correctly if you don't have enough paper in the tray.

Hp laser jet 5025 paper jam

Clear the paper jam...
Also make sure all the pick up rollers are not smooth, if they are replace them. Also make sure the tray is set to the right paper and not offset. A lot of times people slam the tray and it moves the setting bar.

Paper is jammed in my printer - HP Laser jet 3055 --- cannot seem to clear -- don't know how to get at the jam.....can you tell me how to lift the area where the jam is?????

The panel on the back of the printer should pop out and you can get to the paper jam throught there. Make sure you get all the peices out cuz sometimes all it takes it one very small piece of paper to make it not work.

How can i repair my hp laser jet 2600n printer when paper jam

Hi. I would suggest cleaning your printer on the inside and removing any blockage from rollers or look for any peace of paper that's clogging any device inside your printer. Also try pressing all the sensors inside to check if they are not stuck or something. Hope this helps

Problem with my HP Printer 2600n

hi im josh in cebu phils.may i help you? Friend this possible solutions of mine:
Problem: Paper Jams in Your Printer It's possible that your printer's internal paper feed mechanisms are getting dirty. You can try taking the printer apart yourself to clean out any pieces of scrap paper or other debris, or you might want to take it into the shop to let a pro deal with it.
You might also be getting some paper sticking to other sheets of paper in your paper tray. (This happens more often with cheaper paper—spend a little more and get the good stuff!) Try thumbing through the stack of paper before inserting it into the tray; this should loosen up the paper and make it feed easier into your printer.
Finally, you might need to change the grade of paper you use with your laser or inkjet printer. Lightweight papers tend to jam up the works, so switch to something heavier if you experience a lot of problems. thats all friend good luck
