Fixing a Paper Jam on the HP ENVY 5540 Printer | HP ENVY | HP - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thank you for this video and the calm vocal/photo instructions. I was able to clear what I considered to be a severe jam by following these instructions causing me to learn more than I ever knew about this printer.
Thank you for this video. I had two sheets of paper jammed in the printer. I work on computers but not printers. This video is a great help. Thanks again
+James Holmes I am glad to know that the video has helped you fix the issue.
Thank you so much for this video! My paper jam was in the actual rollers, so my bit was about half way through. Couldn't afford yet another bill. Thanks again x
I never thought of removing the cord from the printer AND the wall outlet to reset the power cord. Thanks, HP!
+Jim That's great to hear. I'm glad it helped so much!
Thank you. The clean smears fixed my paper jam and I never would've thought to do that for a paper jam notice.

I found it useful when using the damp cloth to clean out the 4 rollers.
March 14, 2023 - I didn't have any paper jammed but the Paper Jam message persisted - but after moving the ink cartrides to the left and right, the message disappeared, but you helped me to go through the steps - I don't know what the actual problem was, but I can print now. thanks

How am I supposed to use "clean page smears" when it won't clear the paper jam in the first place?

The roller axle just below the paper path cover of my HP Envy 5540 has popped out and I can't seem to put it back in. Is there anything that I can do to put it back in because I've been trying for an hour with no luck.
+Itz Tetra Remove any loose paper that is accessible from the output and input tray. Gently remove any jammed paper or bits of torn paper from the output rollers. If the rollers axle has been detached then its probably a hardware issue. I recommend contacting HP Support: hp.care/2bo1oeo
Thank You!!.. I thought that I was going to have tu buy a new printer!1... I appreciate your help very much!!...

I'm having issues with the 6x4 photo paper jamming every other photo. The paper measures exactly 6 inches by 4 inches and seems a few mm to big for the guide tray it sits it. Should the paper be exactly 150 by 100 as opposed to 152 by 102?

my printer slurped a ton of paper, at least 5 pages, and now it's behind the back cover. I can only just see it with a flashlight, there's definitely no way to reach it from above or below. Does HP publish a service manual so I can just take the thing apart myself?

HP Envy 5055: Just opened a new printer. Stuck on an endless loop of "Paper Jam" when no paper has been fed to the printer AT ALL. Left Epson printers because they're forcing folks to buy their super expensive ink cartridges (they're being sued at the moment) and now HP already gave a bad 1st impression. Anyone have any suggestions to other brands?

For some reason, my printer either jams for no reason or prints blank sheets. As in let's say i print a report 8 pages long,
it will print: Last page, Blank Page, Second Last Page, Blank Page, Jam or Page (Jam)
+ShadePwns if the printer is working, but the printed output is missing black or color ink, or the printed page is blank or has very little ink follow the troubleshooting steps in this article: hp.care/2pJsvnZ and paper jams can be real or false. The printer might report a paper jam even when there is no jammed paper. The troubleshooting steps in this document: hp.care/2tJVb1L apply to both real and false paper jams. Do let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting steps.

Let me guess...
You programmed it to get stuck on a fake paper jam after warranty ends!?
+Eirik Olsnes Paper jams can be real or false. The printer might report a paper jam even when there is no jammed paper. The steps in following document apply to both real and false paper jams: hp.care/2pKax4Z
I'd rather say the error reporting is faulty - cause if a paper jam is false - logically, there should be no error on this :)
When an error displays in an endless loop, it can be quite an annoyance.
You could program them to show once - And then just display an icon the rest of the time (that you can press to read again).
That way it is a lot easier to update the printer, or just use it as a scanner.
Would be great if printers where designed to be easily repaired though..
After clicking OK on the endless error, way too many times, I finally got to connect it online and did an update.
But I think the problem was dust in the first axel (and maybe somewhat weak motor).
.. Moved the ink cartridges to the left and gently turned the white cogwheel back and forth, until it was loosened up.
Turned it off and on again
Now it works
Thank you for replying to youtube comments! :)
I went through all of the steps in the video and still didn't find the problem.
I then removed the metal plate below the ink cartridges (two easily accessed screws) and found a small scrap of paper.
+Mac Hyman Glad to know that your issue is fixed!!

Too bad it's not an apple printer . They clean , check , and fix themselves. They also drive themselves to the geek shop to get needed parts .
I find this oddly disturbing
yes all this fuckery just to print!
Messages goes from paper jam to out of paper. I can't find a jam anywhere. Tried everything in this video. 😢

I have tried all these things multiple times and there is nothing dirty, no paper, nothing wrong anywhere, yet it just keeps saying Paper Jam. HP Support has been no help at all.
+Ernest DeSimone Please perform the steps mentioned under this document to fix this issue: hp.care/2vbtAdq
What if the paper is all scrunched in behind the rollers and you can't reach it? This advice is redundant now isn't it. No advice offered on how to remove the back panel, or any other solution as there is no means to get at it whatsoever.

just bought hp envy printer tonight, what a pain in the ass, very first print paper jammed, i cleaned out all the paper from the jam and still get this nonstop paper jam error, all this fuckery just to be able to print, i will be returning this junk for refund tomorrow
very disappointed never had any issues with any hp products, had low end hp laptops last 7-10 years, had basic plain printers last 10 years, have desktop going on 15 years all hp no issues, now this nonense with the neverending paper jam

@@TheChillimouse same here just bought this junk tonight and having same issue
i have taken all these steps . I have no paper jam and yet keep getting the error. I can not print any of my work I hate this damn printer. and its cheaper to buy a new printer than ink. How stupid is this?
+Joan Zalben Please perform the steps mentioned under this document to fix this issue: hp.care/2vbtAdq
I have done this in all stages , no jammed paper , and still does not print and still have error message . Total shyte will never buy another hp printer in my day
+Phil Brooks Please follow the guidelines under this document to fix this issue: hp.care/2vbtAdq
Done that , it will print the test page , it will print the smear page . After that it will print . But wait 10 minutes and nothing happens , message in tray reads error printing . This has hardley been used but whenever i do need to use it the printer fails . There are no paper jams the heads are clean , the ink levels are good . Just a total crap printer .
