The sensor is bent or broke, or going back further, its a board problem. Optical sensor electronics can go bad. ESpecially now with HP being so cheap on the solder.

There is a paper senser present in the paper lifting area. That part of your printer is not working properly. Replace that part and then try

SOURCE: hp 2355 all in one error message

mine HP was acting the same way after a jam. I contacted hp and they told me it was a hardware issue and that I would need to purchase a new printer. I found a KB on thier site for this issue. It involved removing both ink carts and then reseting the printer with the ink carts out. it seemed to work.

SOURCE: hp 5550 laserjet paper jam

Thhis error is usually due to a dirty photcell (sensor) in the tray 2 paper feed assembly or a broken sensor flag in the same assembly. Start be removing all cartridges and the transfer belt. Look in the bottom of the printer below the lowest cartridge slot for a removeable cover. That's the area your problem is probably in. I have incuded a link to a free PDF of complete service manual below. Good luck.

Paper jam error

One of the Common error for (Papper Jam) in printer is Error 0x000003eb.

Error code 0x000003eb indicated printer connectivity or printer installation error. If you are trying to install a printer driver but keep getting Error 0x000003eb prompted, make sure you have logged in as the administrator of the computer and then try installing the driver. If the problem still happens, try the below solution steps to solve this problem. The error message doesn't give you much information as it just says unable to install the printer and gives you the error code 0x000003eb.

The Error Message shows you: "Unable to install a printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000003eb)"

The printer connectivity or installation error 0x000003eb occurs because the drivers are somehow got corrupted or incompatible.

My HP Laserject 5100 Printer has the Paper Jam Problem. After that, I check printer. But i haven't seen any paper jam. When i print out, nothing show on paper and show the paper jam.. How to fix?

Hi,

This error message is displayed by the printer when paper is jammed in one or more locations. In such a case, users are recommended to remove the jammed paper from the specified location. The entire paper path must be checked for any pieces of paper. To stop the message, open and close the top most cover of the printer. Lastly, verify the flags and the sensors. If the problem persists, the cause of the error message could be a broken sensor or sensor lever.

Canon MX300 Paper Jam

I have the same problem - every time I turn on my printer now, the alarm signal shows up with "Paper jam" but when I check for jammed paper, there is none. So I think there's something faulty with the printer. Is there any way to reset it? I've looked everywhere but can't find it.

Paper jam

There are several things that can cause a paper jam error, even though there is no paper stuck. The most common is that the paper pickup rollers are worn or dirty, and can't grab paper. Even though there is no paper jammed in the machine, it will show the error message. The solution is to clean the roller with alcohol and a lint-free cloth (don't use paper towels). If the roller is very worn, you will need to replace it.
