My printer wont allow me to print, it keeps coming up with paper jammed, i cannot see any paper jammed. please help

When a printer indicated paper jam, it means one of its sensors does not indicate a movement of paper, where it expects it. In only rare occasions the sensor is defect, but most of the time here is really a jam. This must not be a complete sheet of paper. Can be a little scrap left somewhere in the printer. Sometimes a paperclip fell in or just a paper tray was not put in place. Please open the printer and look careful using a flash light, to see if you can find anything that does not belong in the printer. Then switch it off and really unplug it for a few seconds. Reinsert the plug and switch on. If the error keeps coming back you should call a service centre, although ig you have to send it in for repairs, a new printer is probably cheaper, unless it is still under warranty.

the cartridge as you call it is the carriage, which houses the inks and printheads, Its supposed to be 'Locked' at the service station until such time as the printer is ready to start printing,
what you should look for is a strip of what looks like clear plastic that runs the lengh of the print surface, give this a GENTLE clean with a cloth damped with WATER, ensure there is no paper blockage along the print path the cycle thhe power allowing the machine to come to ready or fault displayed

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!

Paper jam means their may be small bit paper jam in side, actually there are some "micro sensors" that detect a paper jam. There will be tiny piece of paper inside those sensors, thus tripping the sensor and paper jammed keeps coming up.
To solve this first of all Open printer cover and check to make sure no paper or foreign objects obstructing the printer feeder, If you become sure that now really there is no paper, dust or foreign objects then Turn the printer off, and disconnect the AC power-cable. Open the printer cover & now give the printer a "blow-job" by compressed air.
If still problem exist then best & final option is to just contact to any Canon Printers service provider.

I hope this solution helps you
Thank you for using FixYa!

Hello there
You not allways see a paper jam.

This may work for you, it has worked for many here I given this advice so gave it a try it could work for you. Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.

First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.

If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.
And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.

Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.

There are rollers that the paper has to go between to be pulled forwards. When the rollers get dirty with paper dust, paper starts jamming. So you need to clean the rollers with a moist (not wet) soft cloth, Keep rolling the rollers manually and keep cleaning them. Then allow a few minutes to dry them up. And no jam after that.

still printing but the paper goes no further?. It may be the paper is locked by paper feeder mecahnics, Open case, check it, and may be there is something "material" broke.
