The spring was part of my problem. While fixing the spring , I encountered jammed paper bits. Thanks a million.

The spring wasn’t my problem, but it lead me to paper jamming the paper detection sensor that this spring is attached to.,,,,,thanks!

Thank you from Atlanta, GA. Your solution solved the problem. Seems as if the spring can get misaligned when a paper jam is removed in the opposite direction of the paper flow path. THE WEBSITE AND SUPPOSED TECHS @ HP ARE, LIKE ALL HUGE CENTRAL OPERATIONS, IN THIS SUPPOSED INFORMATION AGE (see the U.S.Postal Service Etc.), A BUNCH OF IDIOTS, WHO HAVE NO CLUE OTHER THAN READING FROM A SCRIPT AND TRYING TO CHARGE A FEE, FOR NOTHING. Pictures were a great help. Best Regards.

I know there is a little piece of paper stuck inside where I can’t see it, but I can’t get the back off. One screw came off but I can’t budge another one. Is there a trick to unscrewing it?
Thanks.

Thank you! Now it works again! It did take a few minutes to figure out what you were taking about. So pulled the wire over the left black clip and walla….it worked!

Thanks much!

Thank you! these days it is easier to purchase a new printer instead of paying to have it fixed. I refused to buy a new one over an error message; I knew someone out there must have a solution. You saved me at least $100!
