Paper jam is usually due to the paper too thin. Try use higher quality paper ~70gm, if it still jam then your roller may have problem.

Eh...got cheaper paper than 70gm?

moi can only find 500 A4 for $4.9?

Anyone know if there's a cheaper source/option?
I don't mind paper thin as long as won't smudge on both sides

It’s the roller problem. Xerox changed a newer model (wifi) for me, after using a while the paper jam came back. Dump it and bought a Brother printer.

It's the printer roller loading mechanism alignment out, all old printers suffers from the same issues or could be dropped during delivery.

Mine Xerox CP205, still humming well after 10 catridge replacements, so far so good, can print 30 pages in one go, (a bit slow though).
Only time it jams when setting use letter size, other then that hard to find any faults, just waiting for it spoil and justify a replacement :s13:

hp printer sucks. last time i bought a colour injet printer. the printer uses colour ink even when i am printing black and white. when i dont put in the colour ink cartridge, the printer wont even print. the printer uses the ink like it is drinking water. i never trust hp products anymore. now the news saying hp is cutting printing jobs by 9000, i am not even surprised.
