now here is a man that can really show a printer whos in charge
🤣
Removes paper tray. Chucks it on the floor!
Shake your printer!
You forgot to include hitting both sides of it at the same time while cursing at its mother.
😅 right!
I swear!!! Omg I'm so frustrated
6 years after this video was added and it still helped me, I dont know which step is the one that worked cause i did like 3 of them all at the same time, but after 4 months of a non existing "paper jam" my Dell C2660dn printer is now working. Thank you Gianni :)
My god, shaking it worked! It was actually a combo of his steps... Thanks to this guy man-handling his printer I toughened up a bit, and wasn't afraid to show mine who's boss. BTW***I don't have this printer, but I figured most printer are made similarly... At first shaking didn't work, so then I cut up a manila folder to 8.5 X 11 to force it through- it wouldn't go through all the way, something seemed to be stopping it, but I couldn't tell. After two days of trying everything this guy did in this video, I finally said out loud "FINE I SURRENDER! I'll get a new printer!" I shook it one more time but not upside down- I shook it with the paper exit side up and I heard a clink! A tiny staple came out. Boom! The printer is a good as new now.
Inserting little thick paper from outlet and doing back and forth brought a small piece of paper out which fixed my problem.
I thought the printer was lying saying paper jam. But truly it was paper jam.
Thank you so much!
I have a huge printer. An HP Inkjet that weighs about 30 pounds. It's big and clunky so I couldn't see myself turning it upside down, and shaking it. After reading everyone's testimonials, I decided to buck up, turn the printer over and was about to shake the beegeesus out of it when I saw a piece of paper that I could not see while the printer was sitting on my desk! Hallelujah!! Plus, I had just purchased and installed four brand new cartridges so I wasn't about to throw this mammoth out although I was tempted to! BRILLIANT insights. Yes, the turning it over, shaking it and everything else this man says avoided a devastating break up with my printer!! THANK YOU!
excellent advice--I had tried lots of things using trouble shooting guides, nothing worked. Turning the printer upside down and shaking vigorously worked the first time. Thank you, you saved me from throwing the printer away and saved it from cloging up the landfill.
My printer said it was "jammed" for 2 weeks! I couldn't figure out how to fix this issue no matter what I tried, until I came across this video! Step 4 - using a glossy paper fixed it! FINALLY! Thank you so much!
I basically was at a loss on how to fix my duplex printer jam issue. I tried everything and there was no paper anywhere. Well, after watching your video I decided to force paper through the duplex unit and it fixed my issue. Thank you for giving me the idea and helping me to save a few hundred dollars.
The "give the printer a few upside down shakes" method had me quite skeptical but by golly it worked!!!! I can't help but laugh a little and want to give this guy a high five.
Thanks for the advise, after checking for paper the shaking helped. Important thing to remember that if you have a liquid ink printer not to shake too much. Thanks again.
EXCELLENT!.. pushed a 'gloss paper' through, and it WORKED immediately! It spit out a piece of sellotape, that was invisible to the eye...Great tutorial...Thank you...
I'm a software person, so see advice like "turn it upside down and shake" seems a little odd, but damn if it didn't work! Thank you,,,,never in a million years would I have thought to try that.
Thank you geniuses, one and all. It's a heavy printer, but I was able to lift the thing, turn it upside down, and out flew a push-pin. The frustrating message disappeared and I don't have to take the printer to the repair shop or the backyard.
Swamped with work... tax man on my back getting close to apr 15... you saved my butt. Thanks!
This was indeed helpful to me in fixing my printer that had the same so-called paper jam issue. After watching this, I had tried some of your tips and I was shocked when I found out that there was a twisted ring that got stuck in my printer. This was the reason why I was not able to print and why the printer keeps prompting a paper jam problem. It’s resolved now. Thanks much for this video.
The shaking was scary but it worked !! just let it rest overnight just so the ink settled. Working like a charm today ! Thank you !
Oh my goodness, the glossy paper method worked! God bless you !!
This man knows what he's doing. Worked for me on a false paper jam error
This video really helped me. The printer in our office says "Problem Paper" and I tried the solution of unplugging the cord while the printer is on and plug it again. After doing it, I was able to print my reports. Thank you Sir!
The shaking method just fixed my printer. Thank you so much for this video. I was about to go crazy lol.
Wow, this is gold. The thick paper trick worked in my case.
I got a this issue in my Brother HL-5450DN printer. I fought with this issue for 4 hours last night. And this moring come, I found out this clip. As his advice, I just inserted a thick paper into the printing pass (into MP Tray roller), than power up the printer, the error message suddenly had gone and printed sucessfully. Thanks a lot.
Great help!!!! Your video saved me after having my printer out of service for 2 wks. Thank you very much 🙏🏾
I can’t thank you enough for rescuing me after one month without a functioning printer. I did all the steps on the same order you did. Inserting a card on the paper outwau was the magic trick for me, i guess. I’m grateful for you, GOD bless you
happy to help you
I tried all these things and when I got to solution "4B" I couldn't get a paper to feed through. It kept getting stuck on something. I tried using a membership card (think credit card thick) and out popped a lego piece (yes, I have kids)! I also used baby wipes to thoroughly clean (remove dust) inside and outside the printer. Now it works great! I'm so glad I don't need to buy a new printer!!! I just wanted to share in case the card trick might help someone else!
This was helpful to me in fixing my Canon MX340 printer that had the same so-called paper jam issue. After watching this, I tried out the shaking tip of the printer (nothing) Then I kept trying to run the photo paper through and finally it went through this worked for me. The first run through brought out what looked like finely crumbled up leaf. The second one brought out more. I used a hair dryer to blow out the printer afterwards and it is now working great.Thank you so very much for the tips.
You saved my life. I tried all the methods, except the shaking part, and it works. 💕💕😍 Thank you.
Thank you somuch. Mine was jammed with paper. I took off the paper and the error is still there saying paper jam. Almost returned it to Staples where it was purchased. After watching this video, I unplugged it, shaked the printer and hit it three times. There you go, it works 💪
Pushing a piece of heavy/glossy paper through the paper path is the tip I will use first from now on. Why didn't I ever think of that? Thanks for this video (and thanks for many other videos of yours I have watched) keep'em coming.
Jim Wilson This also works for me. I used Vellum paper, and when I gently pushed the vellum paper into the rear tray, suddenly all accumulated dusts and dirts (Even a small shards of plastic stucked there) came out. When we removed it, that's when the paper rollers moved. Turns out, all accumulated dusts and dirts were keeping them from functioning.
My Canon printer kept showing a paper jam error even though there's no paper stuck in it. I tried everything with turning off and on, i left it off for a month cause I was so close to smashing it. I stumbled on this video and tried the shaking upside down method.. and it worked LOL. Thank you so much!!
okay my stupid hp officejet 3830 has been telling me there was a paper jam for about a year and i tried EVERYTHING. who knew all i needed to do was take out the ink cartridges, turn it upside down, and shake the shit out of this thing. I think maybe starting it without the ink cartridges in might have helped but something tells me the shaking was the move. AMAZING. saved me $200
Thank you for teaching how to fix paper jamming printer. Removing the cartridges and returning back worked for me.
Thank you so much! I had already called the company and they were trying to get me to buy another printer. I tried shaking mine a little then fed cardstock through it. It really worked!
Wonderful! I was about to throw my machine away, thanks to you I found a tiny piece of paper stuck in the wheels, and now it works, and it's a Canon Pixma! Thank you!
I have the same thing. A Canon Pixma. Drove a piece of cardboard through the paper feed and a toothpick came out! Checking to see if it works now!
@@busterservicks726 Did it work
Awesome worked for me I did unplug, took out cartridges, shook and manually moved the paper guide plugged back and printer started working again. Thanks
I can not believe it, the shake method fixed my issue - I was about to smash this printer...
That was some mighty fine shakin'!
Mine also work with shake method, lol. Never thought it would works!
Possathorn P are you guys serius 🤣
me too
5 years later this video helped me - I fed a laminated hard page through the feed, and it must have cleared whatever was stuck
2:17 Number 4 worked like a charm
Had a bad paper jam got it out but 1 tiny piece broke off printer wouldn't work did this and got it out didn't have glossy photo paper used a piece of card stock paper instead it's heavy 😊Thank you so much you helped end my nightmare 😇🥰
can't believe the tired and true shaking it up method works tysm i wouldn't have tried it otherwise
Thank you for this video. It helped me solve my problem. The method which worked for me was pushing a piece of laminated paper from the output slot all the way through to the input slot.
Hi, cannot thank you enough as I was ready to launch my printer at the nearest wall...whatever I tried didnt work until I saw your life saving video that said turn it upside down and shake and shake...I did this as the last resort and hey presto the printer then started to print once again...many many thanks ...
I was ready to shake the printer upside down right out the window because as I was working my way down nothing was working. And I was dismayed I’d have to go get it fixed since it’s still relatively new. Thankfully #4 did the trick, thanks!
Thank you for all of the suggestions! I opened the printer to remove the ink cartridges and found the paper jammed up on one side of the ink cartridges.
Thank you for the video. My printer kept saying that the paper is jammed when there was no sign of paper. After watching your video I pushed the shit of paper through the printer and found a small toy (!!!) stuck in there. Oh, kids! I was able to get it out and the printer is working again. Thanks to your advice!
Thank you so much for posting this. With Tip No. 4 (2:17) I was able to reset the error message and move a sliver of paper out from inside the machine by loading card stock into the paper tray und running it.
We laughed af with friends when he started shaking but this turned out the exact tip that solved our problem... thanks! 😂
We Indians do that all the time when a device has a problem. We even tap on the remote hard and surprisingly enough it extends the battery life😆😆🤣
Taking the ink cartridges out and back in and sliding it over 3 times worked for me! Thanks!
Omg, the shaking worked...A business card had slipped in the in the sensor area! Thankssssss
Really good advice especially shaking it. I forced a christmas card through too and it works fine again.
3:07 i loved how he just flew it to the ground😂
And why is this comment section SO DAMN FUNNY!
The trick of putting thick paper worked for me, the error message was not showing but the paper was still getting jammed so in the next step, I used the same thick paper for the printout, with it all the tiny pieces of paper that were stuck came out. Great Video, even shaking the printer would help but tiny pieces that are stuck near the printer sensor can only be removed with the thick paper trick.
OMG my printer worked after pushing the paper through the pathway! Thanks so much!
Same here. Found a toothpick in there.
I too was shocked that this actually worked. I unplugged it for 30 minutes and shook it upside down as best I could (mine is a beast printer/copier/scanner combo). Printed no problem!
I am about to try all these things and I need steroids to shake my printer but let’s see how it goes lol
It worked. Only your great advise. I followed them. It was a hair bobby pin. Thanks a million!!!
I understood everything you said because you did not speak too quickly and the photo shots very good. Thank you!
It works! Don't know when a ruler jump in the printer and it shows paper jam when I can't see any paper ! Thanks a lot!
This feels like unintentional ASMR...I like it.
You are the hero! Putting paper through it pushed out the piece that was stuck so that I could see it. Just saved my Samsung from being a doorstop. Thank you!
There really was a jam! i had looked at the roller in back but not until I completely removed it did I actually see the scrunched up paper. Thank you!
Saved my printer, step 4 worked, thanks!
Pushing photo paper through was a tip that helped tremendously! Many thanks!
Hello,
Thank you so much for your video support ! 👍
It's been just great!
For me, it worked that part with shaking the printer.
It turned out I had some dry leaf inside that fell out inside from my plants 😇
You've been just great!
Very helpful tips, thank you so much, you saved my life, my problem solved after insert paper :)
I couldnt believe it. I thought it only a joke or prank. The shake shake method worked out. thanks alot. I save money
Thank you!!!I used the thick and hard paper method and it worked. Turned out that a paper clip got stocked. Almost freaked out cause I was so sure there's no paper jam.
the thick gloss paper worked for me, as a piece of small paper was stuck and messing with the paper jam indicator. thanks for these useful tips
Gently pushing 5 sheets of paper in the paper output fixed the problem for me. Thanks!
Thank you!
Printer would not print after many tries. Found this video and I used a very thin piece of cardboard and shoved it through the paper feeder and out popped a breath mint, white as snow and matching the printer components completely blending in. My family was thinking of trashing the printer. Now to see if it can actually print lol
thank you so much for everything, i saved 5,000 pesos for your number 4 advice
This rly helped to fix my teachers printer. Thank you!
Thank you!! First video I found to help a lot! Turns out a candy wrapper was stuck in there smh lol
Pushing a couple card stock sheets through did the trick! Thank you so much
the cardboard method worked for me.. thanks much!!!
was just on the cusp of loosing the rag and throwing the printer out the window or smashing it up in anger, but the comment on it taking a small piece of paper to activate paper jam sensor led me to have a very close inspection, and found a tiny brown leaf that had blown in my window and into the printer paper feed - so have a very good check for debris!
Shaking worked and wow, Thank you so much!
The first solution actual worked for me. Awesome stuff
thank you very much your running paper through the paper path worked
very useful in helping me resolve a printer issue remotely
Thank you so much sir! :) I tried all methods tgt and I think Method 4 (at 2:17) works for me. My 3 y/o niece insert a vry small Christmas card inside the paper tray and it stuck, which I can't detect why the error is paper jammed. My printer model was Canon E400.
Shaking it upside down worked. I removed all the cartridges and moved the holding tray from left to right. It prints! 😁
I enjoyed this rough handling of the printers lol show them who is boss!
Terrific! Canon was NO HELP on this. turns out that there was a small piece of paper there was no other way I could access. Feeding a thicker piece of paper may have done the trick. it spat it out once I plugged it back in! and with the coronavirus pandemic, repair center wouldn't have been an option. thank you!!!!
this video helped me fix my printer.. its been sitting not working for over three years. Thanks mate.
He wasn't very gentle when he shook it.....
I was waiting for him to throw it to the ground!!!
well try and shake a 50 Kg (110 Pounds) laser printer you cant do that it is too heavy and dangerous for your toes
rock a bye baby
I lost my patience lmao
#3 helps...Thank you so much for this video
Thank you for showing me how to fix my printer. If I didn't see this video, my printer will be stuck forever
Thank you! This works for me after shaking my epson printer.
Found a toy soldier in mine!!! Thanks for the advice!!
Lmao 😂
shaking it worked.... thank you
I was getting a paper jam error in an epson when there was no paper in the paper path. I have a continuous ink system installed on it and as it turned out there is some tubes going from the ink resevoir to the catridges. The tubing had slid out of the plastic piece holding it up and was slightly making contact with the carriage. When I took the slack out of the tubing so that it wasn't falling down in front of the carriage it seemed to have fixed the problem
Try method 2 (shaking upside down) and 5 (press the sensor), at first it did not work. But few minutes later my 6 years old Samsung ML 1866 worked. Thanks you
Pretty good video. Thanks I used number 4, and it worked.
Thank you ... solved my problem!!
Number 1: make sure the guiding rod is smooth. Ink can cause the carriage to stick and the printer thinks it's a paper jam.
Just now fixed an Epson RX585 inkjet.
Thank you very much for making / uploading this. :)
This video is the absolute best I wish I was UA-cam god so I could put it at the top of all search results
Thank you!
Thank you.When i tried to shake it it fixed the printer.
thank you. really helped me big time! i use #4, i use photopaper and it turned out that my printer is full of dust. thanks again
Thank you! Glossy heavy paper fed through got the job done.
Had this happen with an HP 4650, I had to cancel all print jobs and uninstall the device in the device manager with the printer turned off. Do a shutdown on the pc attached to the printer by usb. The reloading of the drivers cleared the erorr message and allowed for normal operations to resume. There were 26,000 post on their site that discussed false paper jam. Wanted to get the fix out there for everyone.
