Where were you before I bought it? Lexmark isn't any better.

Try going in to the Maintenance section of the print screen and run a nozzle check and cleaning operation.

Sounds like a software problem, or bits of paper in the mechanism. All printers are susceptible to both after they are used long enough.
I am assuming that you still have the original setup CD and have access to the internet to dowload the updated full install if there is one available.
Then unistall the printer completely. If you know where the original install files were placed, make sure that they are all gone, then reinstall the software for it.
Take a look around inside the printer to the extent that you can and make sure no bits of paper are stuck in the sensors that trigger the paper feed and in cartridge.
You didn't say how old the printer is. If it's more than a few years it should last longer than this. HP quality and reliability has suffered a bit in the last few years (management issues).
I would still buy another HP if I needed a printer. Hang in there.

Call HP and have them walk you through the process. They'll work out the kinks, they did it for me.
