Here I show a Canon MG2250 inkjet printer.
The problem is:
When the printer tries to print, it does not take a sheet of paper to begin the printing job.
The paper feed rollers that are supposed to feed the paper into the printer do not work and just slide on the paper instead of pulling it.
This can be fixed easily with a printer / scanner transport cleaning sheet.
But those are made for bigger printers and scanners and I will try to make a DIY printer transport cleaning sheet.
This is valid only for small printers where you don't have easy access to the paper feed rollers.
If you have access to the paper feeding rollers, you can just clean them with alcohol. That way the rubber on the feeder rollers will be able to grab the paper and feed the printer.
DO NOT TRY THIS!
YOUR PRINTER CAN BE DAMAGED BY DOING THIS.
I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask in the comments section bellow. I will answer them as soon as I can.

Revised procedure: USE MICROFIBER CLEANING CLOTH WITH GLAS WINDOW CLEANER. 1) Cut microfiber kitchen cleaning cloth into A4 size. 2) On one rub the window cleaner into the area, were the paper feeder role touches the cloth. 3) Put 20 sheets of A4 paper into the paper tray 4) Put the cleaning cloth on one A4 plastic sheet and put it on top of the 20 sheets into the tray 5) Run at least 5 printing jobs (you always have to reset and restart the printing job.) 6) Turn the cloth with A4 paper 180 degree and run one print job for drying the role. 7) Now… your printer should work again !!

Thanks for the idea. I have used similar double sided tape as in the video, but hasn't risked to let it go through the printer. Instead I cleaned the rollers without turning the printer on. I have attached a piece if tape at the middle of the shorter edge of an A4 paper and moved it a bit back and for in the normal loaded position by hand. It cleaned the rollers gradually. Now my printer feeds perfectly. Thanks again. :-)

OMG, this really worked!!! I was so frustrated!! If you already are on your last nerve, just fast forward to 4:30 minutes in. First I had a paper jam, then the printer just kept mangling each subsequent page ... DO THIS ... Use one piece of card stock paper and a couple strips of small double-sided tape on the card stock. This is the best part ... LOL ... jam this paper in and out to relieve tension (if you were frustrated like me, haha) and the dirt on the inside roller comes off on the tape and then the roller has traction again!!!!! It literally takes 20 seconds (unless you have a ton of frustration to get out!!!!!) FYI DO NOT put that sticky paper on the floor if you have nosy cats .... yep, mine stepped RIGHT ON IT before entry!! Thank you so much for saving the printer from the trash and me from angina!!!

Thanks man! I didn't try your method since double tape isn't available but it was urgent for me to clean the rollers. With your video, I suddenly got an idea. What I did was: I made the end of a blank paper a little bit wet with water and a bit of alcohol. Just some drops of water on my fingers then spread it on the end. I saw some dirt that the wet end of the paper managed to remove. Then I decided that I should still clean it more, so I put some alcohol on my fingers and slightly wet the ends of another paper. And more dirt removed. The result: feeder roller became more smooth. I don't have to put only one paper one by one whenever I need to print many pages or copies. :)

@stevea4889 5 жыл бұрын

I almost destroyed this printer out of frustration, but this video saved me so much time and gave me such relief. I tried putting the cardboard in and then printing it out and once I did that the cardboard came through and with it included a piece of a sticky note that was jamming it! And afterwards it printed smoothly and perfectly. I cannot express enough gratitude for this video! I have a Canon Inkjet MG2522.

@needi51 5 жыл бұрын

Good idea. Thank you very much for this useful and do-able tip. I have the same printer & same problem. I tried to do it with two pieces of double sided tape applied at the end of card paper parallel to the paper edge (unlike your which was along the track of rollers) because I was scared of paper get jammed inside. I did it manually with printer off & then felt a bit confident to run the paper through the printer, switching it ON. To my utter shock, paper went inside smoothly but completely rolled over on one of the rollers bars,close to the outer tray due to the scotch tape adhesion. I did not take the risk of dismantelling the printer to reach that roller bar,so what I did was to cut the paper several times with a sharp cutter (risking the rubber of roller bar) & taking out piece by piece with a long tweezer. I removed the cartridges though. It took me almost one hour to take out the shreds of paper stuck in there. Then I cleaned the roller bar with alcohal. Finally the printer was OK & it worked perfectly taking in the papers smoothly. My advice: Do it manually, while printer is OFF.

Thanks! Cleaning the rollers is the definitely the way to go. I used a metal ruler with double sided sellotape and with the printer turned off I pushed it back and forth under the rollers. With your other hand use a long flat headed screwdriver to hold down the mechanism which holds the rollers (basically like an aircraft undercarriage) to ensure you get a tight fit when you squeeze the ruler between the platform below and the rollers. Worked for me and no risk to printer.

I like your video because it shows the feed rollers spinning and not picking up the paper. I have an MX472 which is very similar in design. I cleaned the front feed rollers using a cotton swab, alcohol, tape, and a stick. I taped the swab to the stick because I couldn't get to the feed rollers any other way than through the paper feed slot and I couldn't reach them without the stick. I vacuumed out the printer as well. Once the rollers were cleaned they picked up the paper.

Re plugged the printer and whoa, the printer was throwing the paper in.

I used some narrow double-side sticky tape on my finger to dap onto the pad at the bottom of the paper tray and the rollers above it. I did this by looking into the printer with the paper tray out as far as it goes for the pad on the paper tray, and by lifting one edge of the printer while the paper tray is out to access the rollers from the underside.

Exactly, with the back open, the risk of jamming or damage is minimal.

Just used a flat ruller, on which I fixed with an elastic on one end, a computer wipe. I put then some hydroalcoholic gel (for hands cleaning) on the wipe, to have it more wet. Then I placed the wipe juste below the 2 transport wheels, and using the ruller, I forced the wheels upwards. Then I start a print (copy), the transport wheels turn a bit then stop with the "no paper" sound. I click "Ok" on printer, and then several times again, to force the little transport wheels to turn on the wipe, with ruller still in place and pushing the wipe upwards on the wheels. After 5 or 6 times, I felt the little wheels were drawing more onto the wipe and ruller, so I stopped and waited 10 minutes to dry completly. Then I tried with paper sheets, and the transport wheels were working perfectly as new :) ! Thanks for the idea of doing that, I was about to brick that 8 years MX535, but now it is working yet as new :D

Thank you Mr Dragos! It worked for me! I used 0.5 inch double-sided tape from "Tape Feature". I had opened the back of the printer too.

Usei uma régua, durex, um cotonete e álcool. Preguei o cotonete na régua com durex e molhei a cabeça do cotonete com álcool. Depois, enfiei a régua pela parte da frente da impressora, até aqueles rolinhos que puxam o papel pra dentro, e consegui limpar a poeira que estava acumulada lá. Depois disso, funcionou perfeitamente :) Thanks for video!

Thank you, thank you! I cleaned the feed rollers with alcohol on a Q-tip attached to a bamboo skewer to easily reach the rollers. My Canon G4200 is back in action!

Same for my MG4250. 6 or so Q-tips taped side by side to the end of a ruler . Dipped some isopropanol alcohol and squezed out. Then letting the printer do a fake print without paper allowing the rollers to turn. Might even be too grabby now.

Thanks man, did the same thing with my Epson Ecotank L3151, and worked like a charm. Keep in mind that Epson in its Ultra Glossy papers includes a special paper with glue to clean the pickup roller. I had some of those that do the job, but i was run out of them.

Using this method with less aggressive tape works great. Fed the paper with tape twice thru the printer and have not had feeding issues since then, but maybe some time in the distant future I might need to go thru this process again.

That sounds great! A diy transport cleaning sheet. If the glue is not aggressive you can use it as many times as you need! 👻
