Everytime I print a paper it gets jammed. It keeps pulling all of the paper out of the paper tray all at once and it gets all jammed in there. I have tryed using expensive paper and cheap paper and it keeps doing it. I don't want to have to put in one paper at a time, so does anybody have any ideas?

The tiniest of hidden paper jams can cause further paper jams. Take apart all the stuff you are comfortable with taking apart and look for specs of paper. If you really think it's clear then venture down to CostCo and pick up another printer for $ 75.

Have you tried not pushing the paper all the way into the tray? My printer was doing the same thing and I took the paper out and reloaded it but i did'nt push the paper into the tray as far as it would go. I pushed it in until I felt the paper stop. there was maybe 1/2 inch of paper overhanging the edge of the end of the tray. Now it works perfectly. Just a suggestion.

Firstly try to loosen out that stack of papers before u start to print. Check if the printer head is running properly. put 3-4 papers, check if those papers still jam up. If no then put in 10 pieces, it it jams, i suspect probably yr printer roller is faulty

I have faced the same problem till they change a small part in the printer,its like a small plastic piece with pins that can separate between papers, you can contact the company help desk and ask them..
and if you want my advice, if its an old printer try to buy a new one.

you may have to really take it apart to see what's really jammed it it. it may be a screw thats lose that cause the paper jam. make sure all parts are tighten.
