I just printed a 200-page document twice. And twice I had a paper jam (one for each copy). So far nothing amazing. But both of the paper jams occurred at the exact same page (page 96) with exactly the same kind of paper jam.
Now I really wonder, if there are some documents (or pages) which are inherently more likely to cause a paper jam and what exactly could cause such a phenomena …

Classic. Maybe the printer is out to get you.
Or maybe someone in IT is sitting there with a small joystick (you know, something like the old Commodore64 ones) just waiting for page 87 and then pressing fire.
Or possibly, the ink has a certain (albeit minor) gravitational pull, and the position of the moon, sun and earth, as well as the printer holding the paper, the weight of paper that has moved through the printer, and the amount of ink on the pages (only in that particular document that you were printing) caused the paper to seize at the same moment each time – the key therefore may be to print at a different time of day next time.
