There is no way to tell a printer to change its error message. If it's telling you that you have a paper jam, you have a paper jam or some other problem in the paper feed path. Either that, or the logic board just died.

I had an Epson printer that reported a constant 'paper jam'. The service tech I took it to said that it was, in effect, dead - and replaced it under warrenty.
