After talking to HP tech support and tring all the textbook fixes for my false paper jam,I think i have found the problem,at least mine works like new again!!!!! Take the left and right side covers off,,,,make sure your unplugged! On the right side off your ink tray is a small box with a lens on the bottom make sure that is clean..... On the left side you see a few large gears,,,on one near the center is a clear disc with numbers on it,,,,,,turn the gear closest to the corner back and forth,,,,clear plastic disc should turn also,,,,if it does not,,,gently turn it with your finger tip,, it should tighten up... Line it up so black sqare is at the bottom,,,,,slide ink tray to center position,,, restart printer,,,good luck

Hi,

i understand that you are facing a paper jam issue.
Am I correct?

ok.... open the rear access door on the printer. the door at the back side of the printer. before opening it, make sure that you unplug the power chord. you will get full access to the rollers. you have to gently pull out the jammed paper from the printer.
once that is done, you can clean the rollers using a lint free cloth. after that you can close the rear access door and try to copy.

thanks and regards
agnel

How do I fix the "phantom" paper jam on HP P3015?

PAPER JAM WITH NO PAPER

This may be caused by a dirty sensor. Disconnect power supply, open the printer and clean everything. You may use toilet paper. Be careful not to leave fragments of toilet paper inside the printer.

C4180 paper jam problem

1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.)
3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button.
4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.

If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6.
If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service.
6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
7. Turn the printer off.
8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers.
9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.

Remove the back jam access cover and see if there is anything in the way. Also, Try removing ink gunk from the resting area.

HP C4180 Carriage Jam

Lisa,
you can call HP technical service which is open 24 * 7 and the phone number is 1 800 474 6836 for US customers.
Customers of other countries can open the following link: http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/wwcontact_us.html

There is a high chance of the printer hardware failure. If the printer is under warranty, HP will replace the printer for you.

Hp photosmart c4180 - phantom paper jam

Had the same paper jam problem. Opened the LHS panel what Mitryp had suggested but just with a light push of the clear wheel back to its place and it worked perfectly. No glue was applied. Make sure you don't mess with the sensa.
(See best solution above for detail on how to open the LHS panel)
