First, check to make certain there are no small pieces of paper stuck in the gears of the rollers and carriage. You may have to reach in through the paper tray to move the carriage to see both sides. To do this, the printer must be unplugged.
If you are certain you have cleared the jam, I would do a power reset:
With the printer on -
* unplug the power cord from the back of the printer
* unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
* wait at least 15 seconds
* plug the cord back into the wall
* plug the cord back into the back of the printer
* printer should turn on by itself, if not press power button to turn on
* try to print a test page: (With printer on - while holding the power button in, open and close the front cover of the printer 4 times, then release the power button, self-test should print.)
The following link from the HP Support site is a step-by-step guide to removing paper jams. You may want to follow them to ensure you have cleared all the jams and reset the printer correctly.
