Just replaced the fuser on HP Officejet 3050 and now paper jams?

Paper keeps getting jammed no matter what I'm doing. It might be able to print one page just fine but the next one will jam. What could be causing this? It will scan, copy and print (at least when it can do one page) just fine but anything more than that and it's jam city! Do I need to tear the whole thing apart again?? I've followed the repair manual (as I obviously couldn't even begin to get in there without one!) so I'm really at a loss now.

    I've had to literally take the wires and hookups off the machine and turn it upside down to check for items that may have found their way into the machine...Normally, when you re attach the wiring , the machine will reset...Also, if that doesn't work and it's not a jab issue, you may want to reload the cd that came with the unit and start it all over again....Not sure how large a 3050 is, numbers don't normally describe the size.. I have an HP Officejet 3680...see what I mean, you can't tell the size of the unit , can you?

    You had just replace the fuser but there may not be sufficent silicon grease in the teflon sleeve. So your printer's teflon sleeve can't move round and page sleep between teflon sleeve and pressure roller and get jammed
