Phantom Paper Jam

[cybergomer]

Okay, house sitting for my Uncle and he asks me to look at the printer while I'm there.

So I look at it, and every time that the printer is turned on, it goes through its normal startup and then the power button starts flashing. So I go through the control panel and try to get the printer to print a test page, but it comes up with a paper jam error. It says turn off the printer, pull out the paper and turn it back on.

Problem being that there is no paper jam and the only way that I can turn off the printer is by pulling the power cord. So I thought I'd outsmart it and push a piece of paper through when it first starts up and the paper goes through just fine.

Its a Lexmark X2330 and if anyone has had this sort of problem, or any other ideas, please help!

You need to find the switch that detects the paper jam, perhaps it got moved at some point with a real paper jam. Also look for any stuck on bits of paper on the rollers or even cleaning the rollers might help.
