Skewing Hi there I have HP 2800 and when I print on gloss paper it comes out skewed. On nomal paper its ok. Also can you get rubbers for feed roller at back of printer Thanks Paul Leeds

Most likely to be a page feed problem, look online to clean page feeder rubber rollers.
Try here for the pdf manual which covers problem with jams and skewing
http://www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00264334.pdf

Yes, it is possible to be the problem. Most of the time you would replace the whole fixing unit, it could also be the paper feed rollers in the paper tray or the manual feed tray. Good Luck

Hello,
These can be a quite pain, this copier when it works it works it fine, but when it doesn't works it doesn't work with style.

Please give me more info, where the paper is skewing? in duplex assy or before or after the fixing unit or while going out of paper drawer...?

I had a problem that paper was skewing in duplex and I've chaneged the duplex vertical roller axis.

If the printed image is smudged, as well as creased, you might have a torn Fuser fixing film.
You will need a technician to fix that.
If it is just a crease, just check that
1. Your paper is not damp. Try a fresh packet of paper
2. The paper input tray guides are set to the width of the apaer, to prevent the paper skewing as it feeds.

Good luck.

Based on your description of what's happening, especially the part about the paper sometimes skewing or jamming from the back also, it sounds like there may be a small piece of paper caught back there in the roller/feed area. You may want to try feeding a piece of heavy paper through, try from the top/back first, and see if it will push whatever may be stuck in there out.
Also, try opening the door on the back and use a strong light to see if you can see anything in there. Be careful if you try to remove anything, not to pry against the rollers or feed mechanism. Maybe use a long tweezers.
Good luck!

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.

There should be an access door on the back of the printer. If you open this you can check the rollers to see if they are damaged or have debris on them.

Introduction When the all-in-one detects a paper jam, the display will read, " Paper jam: Press OK to continue ." The computer might display the following message: " There is a paper jam (or misfeed). Clear the jam and press the Enter, Resume or OK button on the HP PSC. " This document will assist in correcting paper feed problems such as paper jamming, print slanting, and multiple pages feeding into the all-in-one. Clearing paper jams CAUTION: All paper jams must be removed from the back of the all-in-one through the rear access door. Pulling the paper from the front of the unit rotates the paper feed roller in the wrong direction and can cause damage to the all-in-one.

1. Turn off the all-in-one and unplug the power cord.
2. Turn the all-in-one around so the back of the unit is facing out.
3. Open the rear access door:
   1. Locate the tab on the left side of the door and press it toward the right. The door will shift slightly to the right.
   2. As the door shifts to the right, pull the door out slightly to release.
   3. When the door is released, gently remove the door by sliding the door out and to the left.
   Figure 1: Removing the rear access door
4. Inspect the pressure rollers on the access door. They should be clean and rotate easily. If needed, clean the rollers with a soft lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water (distilled water preferred). If the rollers do not rotate easily, they may need to be replaced.
5. From the access door opening, gently remove the jammed paper.
6. Remove the paper stack from the paper supply tray. Discard any paper damaged or bent.
7. Re-stack the reload the paper into the paper supply tray. Push the stack into the tray until it stops.
8. Re-seat the rear access door:
   1. Insert the two posts on the right of the door into the holes on the right side of the opening (as shown in the figure below).
   2. Press the tab on the left side of the door toward the right. The door will shift slightly to the right.
   3. As the door shifts to the right, push in the left side of the door to lock it into position.

9. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the unit.

Causes of recurring paper feed problems If paper feed problems occur repeatedly, one of the following might be the cause:

• Something is obstructing the paper or print cartridge path. Open the cover of the all-in-one and check for obstructions.
• The rear access door is unlocked or improperly seated. Follow the steps above to remove and re-seat the access door.
• The paper width guide is not positioned against the paper. Adjust the paper width guide against the edge of the paper.
• The paper is not supported. Paper should be flat and smooth with no folded, torn, or rough edges. Some glossy and/or coated papers, or reused paper (already printed on one side) can experience a higher incident of paper feed issues.
• The paper tray is not fully extended.
• The paper feed rollers need cleaning. Over time paper fibers and dust will stick to the rollers and should be removed. See instructions for cleaning the rollers below.

Paper jam message displays but no paper is jammed The print carriage might be jammed. Follow these steps to correct the problem:

1. With the power on, lift the print cartridge access door. The print carriage should move to the access area located on the right. If the print carriage stays all the way left, reset the unit by unplugging the then plugging in the power cord. If the carriage still does not move to the right, continue with the steps below.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the all-in-one.
3. Remove both print cartridges.
4. Push the print carriage slightly to the left and then to the right to verify that the print carriage is not jammed. If the print carriage will not move, check for obstructions under and around the carriage.
5. Close the print cartridge access door.
6. Plug in the power cord.
7. When the " Insert Print Cartridges " message displays, open the print cartridge access door and insert the print cartridges. Verify that both cartridges are seated correctly and lock into position.
8. If the error recurs, contact HP for assistance.

Envelopes The envelope flap can move with the grip of the rollers and cause paper feed problems. Use envelopes with a rectangular flap and/or tuck the flap inside the envelope when printing. The print is skewed or crooked A small amount of skewing is not unusual with printers. When there is too much skewing, the following steps can help reduce the amount.

1. Adjust the paper width guide to fit against the edges of the paper stack.
2. Verify that the rear access door is properly seated and locked into position.
3. Remove the rear access door and clean the paper feed rollers (see the instructions at the bottom of this document).

More than one sheet of paper feeds in at the same time Several paper caused problems can result in more than one page feeding into the unit. Check the list below:

• Reused paper (paper already printed on one side)
• Torn or folded paper
• Textured or coated paper
• Unsupported specialty paper

To determine if the paper is causing problems, try using clean, undamaged sheets of plain white 70 - 90 g/m2 (20 - 24 pound) inkjet paper, such as HP Multipurpose or Bright White paper. If this paper feeds correctly, the problem is probably with the other paper. Cleaning the paper feed rollers Over time dust and paper fibers will accumulate on the paper feed rollers. This can cause paper feed problems. Follow the steps below to clean the rollers: Figure 3: Paper feed rollers

1. Turn off the all-in-one and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the rear access door (as describe above in this document).
3. Clean each roller using a clean lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water (distilled water preferred). Rotate the rollers to clean the entire surface.
4. Verify that the paper feed rollers on the rear access door are clean and rotate easily.
5. Re-seat the rear access door.
6. Plug in the power cord and turn on the all-in-one.

It sounds like the paper is skewing as it is picked up by the roller - watch a sheet go through and see if thst is the case. Make sure the paper guide in the paper tray is pushed solidly to the left edge of the paper and check if it is loose. If it is loose then it might allow the paper to skew as it feeds in

If the problem is with the single sheet feeder try running regular paper through it - does it have the same issue? Is the paper skewing as it is fed in or is the print itself. If the paper is skewing look for problems with the feed rollers possibly a label has become attached to one of the rollers. If not try cleaning them with (90% or better) isopropyl alcohol on a soft rag
