OT Any printer gurus here ? OT

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 3 pairs of cartridges for it , they were on a really good sale .

I've fixed a couple printers by browsing this site :

Just search for the model #. They have info on some of the arcane fixes where solenoids that trip clutches lose the pad that stops the armature from dropping too far away from the coil. Causes VERY bizarre malfunctions on certain models.

Do I have to sign up to look up help subjects ? I entered my model number , hit the search arrow , nothing happens .

Do a Google or other search for "HP 3510 Printer" and manuals are shown. Might insert Service manual in the search line - and you might find it.

I did and there was pages of files.

HP's repair instructions for the HP 6110 I was given are that when it fails, buy something else.

I did find a posting on how to temporarily fix its design defect.

Thanks for all the suggestions , I've decided to toss this unit , unless I can get it to run as only a scanner . I've got 3 sets of #61 cartridges still in the sealed pakaging they include photo paper . I'll let 'em all go for 60 bucks and I'll pay shipping . List is over 30 bucks each .
