If you are facing such kind of issues try the solutions provided below that might help you to troubleshoot the issues:

A. It might be possible that you have some odd papers that causes this, but most likely, your paper pickup assembly is going bad. The best way is to have them replaced. This is mostly happen when you use small printers as the rollers of them are tiny, and do not hold well. A new assembly will make it print like new. A bigger printer will have larger rollers and will last for longer. That's why we recommend to replace them with best ones.

Q. My HP LaserJet printer was jammed, i removed the pages from it and still had an error message. I tried turn off my printer and the ready light is still on. Nothing gets print. What should i do now?
A. If you have a Paper Jam problem, you have to make sure that the paper has been removed and that all the sensors are back where they belong to. Look for the trouble in all the input trays, back door, and under the HP Laserjet 1018 toner cartridges. Most of the business class machines show the location of the paper jam that start with "13" and have the other numbers of this range, like if your machine reads 13.1, then you know it is in the front. If you make sure all paper is out, then open the toner door and close it, most errors of this type go away. If not, read the control panel and refer manual for further instructions.

A. The cleaning of the HP Laserjet 1018 toner cartridges should be done very carefully. You do not need to clean the toner cartridge area so often. However, cleaning the area could improve the quality of your printed sheets.
