Hi, I reciently got a Canon Pixma MP170 from a friend as she has reciently bought a better printer. It does wvwrything I want it to do. but theres one problem. the paper feeder keep screwing up paper when it tries to print. I rang up Canon to ask how much they want to fix it and they wanted 60 quid out of me (cheecky basterds) just to have a look at it. If you wish I can send you a short clip of the printer screwing up the paper. Thank You! Joe
No need for pictures, sounds like a very small missed paper jam. You need to get a torch and tweezers and go right into the printer near rollers, paper feeder, and down the back where paper feeds in, my bet is you will find a small piece of paper or a foreign object in there somewhere, regards lilacgerry
You are most welcome.
Now the paper is feedind properly down into unit, i tend to think it should work now, but as it is not, i would recheck again thoroughly in case the tiniest shred of paper is jamming at sides near rollers, if not, check rollers are even and sitting the same on eack side. I would then go as far as uninstalling it, reinstalling it and trying again. If still no good, make a back up copy of printer disc, uninstall printer once more and reinstall with new disc. Good luck.
