In my experience, i believe that you still have a small piece of paper stuck in the machine.

Follow these steps :
1.1
Take out any paper that is not jammed. Remove the loose paper from the in and out paper trays to prevent any more paper from being pulled into the jam.
2.2
Open the cover of your HP laser printer. This will give you access to the inner machinery of the printer and should unveil the jammed paper. If you do not see jammed paper, you may have another type of malfunction.
3.3
Gently pull on the jammed paper. In many cases, it will come out easily.
4.4
Move the rotors on the inside of the printer by pressing the flashing button on the housing of the printer. This may help to loosen any jammed paper.
5.5
If the jam persists, unplug your HP printer. You'll be able to pull more firmly on the paper with the power turned off. Be careful not to rip the paper.
6.6
Attempt printing again. Refill the trays with paper and plug your printer back in to test its functionality.

My HP 3940 Printer Had Paper Jam But We Removed All The Papers Already But It Just Keeps Saying Paper Jam

Make sure that all of the doors are shut, all trays are in properly, shut off printer, unplug from the wall. Press the power button while unplugged to clear any residual power. Wait a couple of minutes, plug in, and power up the printer. Good luck!!

My printer is not print it show's paper jam but the paper is not jam

Hello thanks for using Fixya

Actually you are facing E3 error, E3 error is mostly because of paper jam. their may be small bit paper jam in side
There are some "micro-sensors" that detect a paper jam. There will be tiny piece of paper, or a lump of dust, inside those sensors, thus "tripping" the sensor and saying you paper jam.

To solve it
Open printer cover and check to make sure no paper or foreign objects obstructing the printer feeder

If you become sure that now really there is no paper, dust or foreign objects then
Turn the printer off, and disconnect the AC power-cable. Open the printer cover & now give the printer a "blow-job" by compressed air.
If still problem exist then best & final option is to just contact to any HP service provider.

I hope this solution will helpful 4 u

My hp 3940 had a jam. I removed the paper now it

Hello there
i know you have cleared the jam but i would go back and really look closley at the paper path and the internals a small piece off of a paper can cause this to claim it has a jam also if you turn off the printer and use canned air to blow out the whole insides this will help too also clean offf any lenses with a eyeglass cleaner ok ?
best regards mike

Turn on printer and light continues to flash. Not

What the flashing light means
The Power light can flash for several reasons:

• The printer cover is open.
• The printer is out of paper.
• A problem exists with the printer, such as a paper jam or a problem with a print cartridge.

If an error message appears
Read the error message that explains the problem and its solution.

If no error message appears
Check the status of the printer by using the printer tools. To gain access to the tools, open the Printer Properties dialog box, click the Services tab, and then click the Service this device button.

Use the printer tools to perform the following tasks:
• View estimated ink levels.
• Clean the print cartridges.
• Calibrate the printer.
• Print a test page.
• Perform other functions as needed.

Paper jam

there is a sensor which detects if there is a paper jam in the printer.that sensor is bit moved from its orignal position so it is continuously detecting the paper jam in your case.

HP Deskjet 3940 (Paper Jam)

I have a HP Deskjet 3940 printer. And similarly to this problem here I had a paper jam that would not clear, despite removing all the paper that was stuck in it, and following all 4 steps stated on the HP website. Such as taking the back cover off and blowing dust away and turning it off and on, etc.

None of these steps worked for me and consequently I couldnt get any new jobs to print - kept saying 'paper jam'. I was about to head down the shop to buy a new printer when i tried one last thing, which HAS fixed the problem!

I put in a large stack of paper onto the feeder. and then pushed it forcefully in and out repeatedly. To my amazement this has solved the paper jam. As a very last resort, might be worth trying this?
