The other day, I got a LaserWriter 310 at a government surplus store, and whenever I turn it on, the paperjam light blinks [even when connected to the computer]

except for when I take the paper tray out [then the paper light stays on and the paper jam light turns off]

Well any advice that might lead to a solution would be appreciated ^_^
btw, I already read through the PDF manual for the 300 [I couldnt find one for the 310], and it doesn't talk about the paper jam light doing anything more then staying on

Thanks. ^_^

If I open my window all the bugs will get in… That's just one more reason to use a Mac!

Sure you don't have a dodgy paper tray?

I'm pretty sure it's not the paper tray, since it seems to be in good condition…

But I did find the Apple manual for the 310 in the develper section
and it says that a flashing paper jam light means "The printer requires service"
or something like that… But I'd rather try to fix it my self if it's possible…

Thanks ^_^

Maybe you could try googling for the service manual?

I had the same deal with my 360. The service manual says it's bad RAM, so I replaced the module but it still didn't work. So I pitched it.
