However, roller placement is not an easy task. It could be difficult to place the roller of the printer and it varies from model to model. There are few HP printer models, on which placing the roller is very easy. While fixing a paper jam issue, never pull the paper in the opposite direction of the paper path, because doing this can harm the printer in a physical manner.
Every printer model has its own vulnerability towards paper jam issue. Any printer which holds the paper vertically, you can fix the paper jam problem by pulling it down through the printer.
2.) Ghosting:

Whenever you upgrade to a new operating system version, you must also pay attention to the drivers of your older printer. Drivers also need to be changed depending on operating system. Printer’s driver doesn’t support all the operating system. When you get stuck with such problem; you must check the printer manual and figure out which drivers the printer will match.
4.) 79 Error Of HP Printer:
