HP Laserjet 3050 paper jam

Open the paper feed area and the printer, examine the paper feed path and make sure there isn't a page or piece of paper jammed in the path somewhere.

Jamming where? Is paper crumpled up in printer or does printer just stop. Likely the rollers in tray 2 are worn. Try printing from the MP tray, if that works then printer is ok and it will be the feed/sep rollers in tray 2. It is also very important on this model to ensure that you have current firmware installed as older versions of firmware have a bug that will wreck the fuser.

Clean the feed rollers.

Open the top as if you were going to change ink cartridges. Find all rollers yuou can and wipe them with a t-shirt type material dry. Do not use any liquids unless you can get some rubbing alcohol. Turn the wheels and claen them as best as is posible. Open the paper jam door and do the same to all rollers in site. Any way you can get to the rollers, use it. This should solve your problem. Also try fanning your paper before loading it. Thanks, Dana

Have a good day

did it work before? check paper size for trays - suspect it is set for a4, change to letter size

250-sheet input tray (tray 1)
The input tray holds up to 250 pages of 80 g/m2 or 20 lb paper or fewer pages of heavier media
(25 mm (0.9 inch) or less stack height). Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed
facing down. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side and rear media guides.
NOTE When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input
tray and straighten the stack of new media. This helps to prevent multiple sheets of media
from feeding into the all-in-one, which can cause jams.

Hope this helps if not you may have a registration roller problem.

When you open the paper tray assembly you will see that on each side there is a silver bracket on each end of the paper tray that the paper sit under. You can bend these away from the paper in a sidways just a little and that will fix your problem. The paper is hanging on these plates as it feeds and is bending the paper as it feeds.

Open tray 1 and pull any visible jammed media out of the all-in-one.
If no media is visible, open the print-cartridge door, remove the print cartridge, and rotate the
upper media guide. Carefully pull the media up and out of the all-in-one.
Close tray 1.

My printer now spits out the paper all over the place and jams up all the time. Did not happen when I first got my 3050 a few months ago.
