The kodak gloss paper gets jammed in my hp photosmart 7350 printer towards the end of printing photos

Look for jammed paper of some other object that might have fallen into the machine.....

It's the top rollers, the paper is too slick to get through them. I'm using HP photo paper, in an HP printer. It needs to do a 180, but gets jammed right where it prints, so the paper never makes it to the ink. It's an engineering problem by HP. I suggest putting a rough surface on the top edge of the photo paper, something removable but rough enough for the printer to pull the photo paper through.

1. Before you do anything else, turn the printer off and on by following these steps:
   1. Turn off the printer by pressing the Power button.
   2. If the optional HP Photosmart Internal Battery is not installed in the printer, unplug the printer power cord. Wait about 10 seconds, then plug the power cord back in.
   3. If the optional HP Photosmart Internal Battery is installed in the printer, unplug the printer power cord, if it is plugged in. Open the battery compartment cover and remove the battery. Wait about 10 seconds, then reinstall the battery. If desired, plug in the power cord.
   4. Turn on the printer. The printer checks for paper in the paper path and will automatically eject the jammed paper. Press OK to continue.
   If the error still occurs, go on to the next step.
2. If the paper came part way through the front of the printer, gently pull the paper towards you to remove it.
3. If the paper did not come part way through the front of the printer, try removing it from the back of the printer:
   1. Remove the paper from the In tray, then push in the catches to release the in tray. Figure 1: In tray catches
   2. Open the In tray to a horizontal position.
   3. Gently pull the jammed paper to remove it from the back of the printer.
   4. Before you lift the In tray to close it, make sure it is pushed all the way to the right on its hinges. Figure 2: Pushing the tray to the right before closing
   5. Lift the In tray up until it snaps back into paper-loading position.
4. Open and close the pen door on the front of the printer to make sure it is securely latched. Figure 3: Opening and closing the pen door

How to avoid paper jams

• Make sure that the cartridge door on the front of the printer is securely closed.
• If you experience paper jams while printing, try loading one sheet of photo paper at a time. Insert the paper as far as it will go into the In tray.
• Do not add paper while the unit is printing.
• Do not use paper that is too thin, too slick, or that stretches.
• Do not use torn or creased paper. Paper that has been printed previously may cause jams.

Ok,, thanks again for the additional info. I had the same problem at one point with my HP photo printer, it seems the electronic eye that watches for the edge of the paper somehow can't see/focus on some of the high gloss papers.

How I tested it was simple. I roughed up(wrecking) one sheet and ran it through, it saw the page and printed. after that I tested with semi-gloss and it seems to work better.

Give that a try and let me know if that works.

maybe its a bit thick the paper try a different make. poundland do a good one.

Normal 0 I suggest you get a sheet of Card Stock (Heavy paper) and place it in the feed way. Then press the print button applying a slight amount of pressure on the Card Stock so it will feed through the printer. The reason for this, is in some cases I have been able to clear the paper track of debris that was deposited there over time.
Worth a try, as I have fixed a number of printers this way, saving costly repairs.
Hope this helps. Bud

Turen the machine off
Unplug it from the wall
open the paper jam door and gently push the paper roller upward until it clicks.
close the door.
Plug it back in
Wait a few minutes
then turn the printer on and see if the carriage moves.

This is a simple general reset of theprinter and sometimes it will help with this sort of problem. Let me know if it helps or not.

try doing partial reset of ur printer

Hi,

Please check the printer for any object jamming the paper feeder, see if all the were rolling smoothly.
