Okay i have a weird one here.
i have an HP5200 that jams with a 13.1 error, while printing the config page -- it will print 2 pages and jam on #3 the paper is just before it enters the fuser, it will jam from tray 2 and 3 and the MP tray as well, also there is no image on the drum or any data printed on the two pages that came out, i have changed the cartridge, i have also checked the drive train and the gears appear to be turning.
 
The 13.1 error would be at the tray. Blank prints?
Printing from network or at the control panel?
Check flag that is in paper path from tray to feed assy. and registration.

printing config page from control panel, no data on pages or on drum when unit stalls
 
fixed it.
the problem was that the flag had a bad solder joint and was not working at all.
this is the first flg located on the high voltage power supply.under the paper path area, as the printer was expecting to see the page at that point and was not detecting it, there-fore it would call out an error 13.01.00 and then it would clear the paper path, thus not printing any data on the page or on the drum. this was pretty much a total tear down!
