I have an 8100 doing something odd from tray 3 only. It frequently creases the paper about 2 inches from the leading edge. Usually the paper feeds completely through the printer but when it gets stuck, it wedges in the metal paper guide just past the transfer roller housing. HP says it may be a PIU problem. If that's the case, why does the paper make it past the input to the toner cartridge and why does it feed properly from tray 2, if the problem is the input? I replaced the feed separation rollers and the transfer roller and housing with temporary improvement. Anyone ever seen anything like this? ANY SUGGESTIONS would be appreciated!
 
Isn't the metal paper guide just before the transfer roller? In other words, sounds like a registration problem...likely a faulty clutch.
