You can clear paper jams by checking three places: 1. Open the front door and wait for the cartridges to move. Then, move them carefully with your hands and look for jammed paper. 2. Remove paper from the input tray and look for jammed paper (you may need to lower your head and see straight into the input tray for that) 3. Open the back door and look for jammed paper. Most HP printers have a back door (used by the optional duplexer unit) that you can open and look for jammed paper.
If you can't find it, then you might need to dismantle the printer in order to clear the jam.

Lots of videos on removing paper jams. Make sure you pull two handed and evenly so as not to tear the paper.

Printer wont take paper

Things to try:
  • Use different amounts of paper in the paper tray - from one to full.
  • Check the paper tray for any defects.
  • Clean the paper pickup roller with a little methylated spirit and a soft cloth.

My hp photosmart c4780 won't align because is keeps saying that the alignment plot in the scanner is skewed

If you have had paper jam and not replaced the rear paper grey plastic retainer correctly or somehow it has become loosened the paper will twist on entry and the printing will be askew. Sometimes not loading paper. It will then also not align when replacing cartridge. Had this problem, took out the retainer that has two plastic points that should locate in the retaining holes and pushed it back. Paper jam, printouts and alignment was then fine. Took me months to figure out as it was printing, just not very straight

My HP Photosmart C4780 makes the loud clicking sound. This just started and it still prints ok. Less than a year old.

There could be something stuck inside. Look inside and inspect to make sure there's no paper or anything else clogging in
