don't know if it's the same problem i had but its maybe worth a try. My paper went in a little, the wheels were turning but it didn't take the rest of the paper or print.
Yesterday someone replied to my problem, i tried it this morning and its fixed 1st time.
Solution:- Use a piece of thin card, a magazine cover is what i used, make sure its A4 size then try to print something, as the paper starts moving push it through! and hey presto it worked for me, everything printing fine now

I got adventurous and removed the screws holding the document feeder. I then used a can of air and blew into the gears and then reassembled the feeder. It works perfectly.

The problem sounds like your rollers have lost their grip. Remove the paper tray and tip the printer up. Push the red lever on the left of the printer down and you will see the feed mechanism with two wheels. Remove the rubbers on the wheels and turn them inside out. Replace them on the wheels with the worn side now inside and the 'sticky" side out. You should get at least another couple of years worth of use before you need to replace them.

Hi,
Sounds like the feed rollers need cleaning.
Clean the feed rollers, lint free cloth,bottled water.
wait for them to properly dry
Revolve the feed roller bar as you clean them, to clean the feed rollers all the way round, remove all particles from them.
Check you ADF grips are set correctly, if not you will get mis-fed sheets. check the tray is sat properly too or mis-feeds.
Check paper size is correct in print properties too.
Should be good then
Try print.
Regards
Richard.

see what you gotta understand is that right next to the rollers that pick up the paper are paper sensors so if those sensors have been damaged take a cotton swab dip it in water.
clean the rollers where the paper is taken in from and also clean the carriage rod along which ur cartridges move(metallic rod).
now if this still does not work call up hp at 1800-474-6836 and if ur printer shows out of warranty in hp's records dont worry ask the customer representative to go ahead and tell you the upgrade options and go in for either the photosmart 7280,photosmart 6380 or the photosmart 8180. You will get it at a 50% discounted rate.Its called a refurbished printer but the actual scenario is that if wallmart purchases 100 printers and realises they needed 99 they send one back to hp and then our factory test it before sending it out to the customer but it has never been used before.
trust me this is the best option.I work for HP.
call in and hope you get me on the call.If the printer is in warranty then hp will try a couple of troubleshooting steps and if they dont work then they will replace the printer free of cost.
Lift up the automatic document feeder. The feeder makes up the top half of printer, and it can be opened like the hood of a car. Lift the sides of it slowly. This exposes the printer mechanism and ink cartridges. Pull the jammed paper up and out of the printer mechanism with both hands. Pull it gently to ensure you don't damage any components.
