This problem happens when you print from "Manual Feed" or "Tray" ? It might be some sensor broken or misplaced.

You may need also to check the cartridge - sometimes the drum protector doesnt open all the way and that causes the "jam"

Network Printer 12 paper jam

In order for a jam message to reset to READY, the printer logic is looking for an "06 COVER OPEN" message. The top cover of the machine must be opened to clear the jam message. If the top cover interlock switch is stuck closed, the printer logic never clears the jam message, even after all the paper has been removed. The printer appears hung with the paper jam message and can only be made READY by powering the printer Off and back On.
