Anyone got a Canon MP180 printer and know how to remove (an invisible) paper jam?

[handlemecarefully]

Am in a fix here.

Can't see any jammed paper. Need to print off around 50 flyers before tomorrow

I turned my upside down and a little plastic thing fellout, then I took the printer carriage out from the rear and found a foam earplug bloccking the whole thing.

Turned upside down - nothing. Can't see how to remove printer cartridge from rear (probably being dense)

Sorry mine is a different make, but the sdvise I got from techinical sites was pick it up and shake it (very technical).

lol

24 hour Tesco - printers now so cheap paper jams are not worth the time spent unjamming! If only they came with a carbon neutral spontaneous combust button (that never jammed).

Sadly it is not a cheapy tesco printer (has scanning and copying function and can probably boil a kettle) and I desperately need it to start working again!

Morning, jayne.

Bah! I'll 'ave you mate!

thought I'd better add that in case you thought I was serious!

Soz....couldn't resist!

Now I know why my son never brings home anything from school - it's on invisible paper!

Sorry - not helpful - have you tried turning on and off just in case it's confused?

Yep done that Noodle
I'm confused, never mind the ruddy printer!

Do you still have product handbook? Maybe dust (can I use that word on MN?) or small shred of paper is confusing the paper jam sensor? Don't have a Canon, but our last HP was always doing that, usually due to DH wrenching 95% printed documents out. Or can you email it to someone local and get them to use their ink?

No product handbook. I suppose I could goggle on the net...

Yep will email to a friend to print. Frustrating though!

Thanks...

The memories come flooding back ... if it is a scrap of paper 'jamming' it, try a sheet of thick cartridge paper, feed it through manually, (if you can) and see if it pushes whatever it is through. Then scream into a pillow?

Good plan I will try that (with a pillow on standby!)
