View Full Version : Printer chewing paper

My HP all in one printer keeps getting stuck at the same bit of paper every time, it gets all jammed up and then I have to manually pull the now very crumpled sheet of paper out.

Does anybody know if these type of printer can be taken apart, I think a bit of gum from a sticky label adhered itself to the roller. I've tried taking it apart but can get three sides off but no further. Any advice?

Sometimes putting a sheet of card through can unjam such a problem - it's less likely to jam up with card than paper.

Otherwise the units *should* come apart but they're certainly made for ease of assembly rather than disassembly!

That's a really good idea, I have some A4 card, will try that, thank you!

You are indeed a genius, very simple but it worked! I've been without my printer for weeks now and a bit of card sorted it. Thanks :D
