Default Sorta-OT HP printer problems

My HP 3510 printer is giving me fits , keeps throwing a paper jam error
even with no paper in it . I've had it almost completely disassembled ,
after a thorough cleaning it printed exactly one test page then went back
to the paper jam thing . Anybody with experience diagnosing this ? I
suspect there's a sensor in there or something , but I saw nothing while
it was apart . Everything seems to be functioning correctly by direct
observation . The other thiung it does is that when you clear the "jam" by
pushing the proper key on the control panel , if will just keep feeding
paper until it runs out . BTW , I ran the tests with a fresh install of
the software on a comp that's never ran this printer before , so not
likely it's a software problem .
I've had pretty good luck with HP printers until this one , but I'm about
to go with another brand after this . What really sucks is we just bought
2 pairs of cartridges for it , they were on a really good sale .


Ah! **** happens and then you fry.
