This printer I've got is telling me that I've got a paper jam, but I don't. I've checked everywhere, I can find other people with the same problem, but no fixes for it. There's got to be a fix... thanks.
 
OK, ummmm.... Where to begin with this. Hmmm.

Ok, why not tell us what printer it is?

Did you call the manufacturer?

Are you SURE there isn't a piece of SOMETHING stuck in there?
 
yeah really need to know the printer makre/model. I have worked with just every model of HP printer for the last 4 years (mainly the laserjet), so if it is an HP printer I may be able to help ya out. But without a model number this thread is dead.
 
canon ip2000

I can't see anything, and my hand doesn't fit all the way in...so how do you tell without disassembling the whole thing?


nothing is blocking or jamming...I can feed a paper through the back and out the front...still tells me there's a paper jam, oh boy.
 
if they are anything like an HP sometimes the paper path sensor flags can get stuck or simply a little piece of paper can keep the flag stuck which will cause a paper jam error. If you can see anything in the usual places and are somewhat confortable with taking it apart that may be your only solution. I am assuming its and inkjet printer. They can sometimes be a bitch to take apart.
 
Yeah, what Blauman said.

It really REALLY doesn't take much.
