Ok I have a weird problem. Every time I try to print from my computer the printer gives a paper jam error. If I press the cancel button then paper comes out. If I print a nozzle check from the printer itself it prints fine. I don't understand how it can gram paper from the tray and pint a nozzle check fine but printing from the computer fails every time.

It happens whether I print from the main tray or the rear feed.

I tried the thick paper option trick.

Ok new info:

I can print documents with pictures from word and the test page from windows, but anytime I try to print pictures on any type of paper from LR, Windows Picture Viewer, Photoshop it "jams". I don't think it's a real jam I think there is some kind of paper sensor that is dirty.

Does anyone know if the Xp-950/960 has a paper sensor specifically used for photos and where it's located?

Does anyone have a copy of the service manual that I can have so i can see how to disassemble it?

May be the problem is caused by the PW (page width) sensor that is located bellow the printer head.
It could be dirty with ink.
