Every time I print a paper it gets jammed. It keeps pulling in all of the paper at once, out of the paper tray, and gets jammed. Why is it doing this? I bought have bought the expensive paper the cheaper paper and yet it keeps getting jammed. Any ideas?

if the printer is feeding more than one paper shoot at the time means the separation paper feed system doesn't work properly.
Using some alcohol, try first to clean all pick-up paper roller (the rollers which grab the paper) and the separation roller or separation pad (usually are/is placed underneath the paper - opposite place than pick-up rollers). Is very possible, if the printer is using a separation pad instead of separation rollers, the spring which is pressing the pad to broken or out from its socket.
If cleaning of the feeding system is not helping you have to go to a printer service tech.

Might have a sliver of paper jammed inside. There is usually a way to get at the rubber rollers.
You may also need to clean these, with water and a q-tip, then let them air dry.

Check the rollers that draw the paper into the printer. They may have dirt or dust on them. Use a Q-Tip with alcohol to clean them off. (Make sure you unplug the printer first!!)

On some printers there is a sheet feed option. If you have this turned on, turn it off. Control Panel/Printers and faxes.
