What is happening is very simple: the printer is not expecting legal-size
paper. You have to tell it, or convince your software to tell it, that it
is getting legal paper. Otherwise it sees paper still in the machine at a
time when a letter-size sheet should have been out, and decides that there
must be a paper jam.
In the absence of a legal paper tray, you will also have to tell it that it
is getting manual feed. On the LJn, for n >= 2, you can do manual feed
by just stuffing paper in the feed slot, but this is a special case that
only works for paper whose size matches the paper tray.
In general, you have to tell the printer what's going on.
