Printer misfeed I'm about to throw my canon ip1600 out the window, this website is my last hope. I had no complaints for the first year with this printer but now it misfeeds every single time. The left edge of the paper (the right side of the printer if you're looking down at it) always crunches the paper and screws up the alignment of the page. It usually feeds through all wrinkled but every now and then it doesn't feed at all. I ran through all the maintenance you can do with the software including the roller cleaning and nothing helped. I always tried switching the paper thickness switch at the bottom of the printer. I want to take the entire thing apart and try to fix it but aside cracking it open with a hammer I can't figure out where the screws are to dismantle it! Any help would be appreciated or else this thing is tossed. Ken B.

You have something stuck down there, get a long thin screw driver and insert it through the paper exit and push it between the black lower roller and the thin white ones. Tip the machine on its back and give it a good thump, slowly work your way across the platen, with any luck it MAY come out or it might be jammed in really hard. Good Luck

Service error 5100

Ha! Ha! I think we have all felt like that at times - ready to throw an electronics item out the window. The canon site is not working properly right now, so have searched otherwise. Take a look at this same issue here.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080115130158AA5y9NZ

If this doesn't help, don't throw it out! Post back and let me know a little more - what exactly happens when you get this error? Also, if you could provide your location, it would be helpful, and we need to make sure your driver is appropriate. Please post back if you still need help, otherwise thank you for using and rating FixYa!
