Thank you for this! I followed your directions exactly, using the "paper+alcohol wipes stapled on" approach, and it worked great! Paper is feeding and printer works perfectly, after not being used for literally YEARS. Awesome! :) Thanks again.

Thank you so much! This truly worked and fixed my issue. I tried calling canon and couldn’t speak with anyone. So thank you for creating this content for trouble shooting paper issues!!! 😊

I had completely lost hope and in the process of going way over budget on a new computer and monitors i was like whats anothe 80 bucks on a printer. Well sir thanks for saving me this 80 dollars. Works perfectly and maybe now i will use the printer more often.

You sir, are a lifesaver. Thank you soo muchh for this. You explained it so well with every detail. You're amazing.

This ACTUALLY worked!!!! Thank you so much! I was skeptical but it did indeed work!

I want to say thanks. I'm an Ebay seller panicking because I couldn't print postage labels off. Watched this, and it's all sorted works like new thanks again for a fantastic video, I used a thick napkin and window cleaner ( I don't have any beads ), worked fantastic thanks

Thank you! This helped me. Paper was stuck inside the printer and I didn't know how to open it. Accessing the feeding mechanism on the back was a super easy solution!

Bravo .... confirmed the fix , it worked for my mx512

Probably should've watched this video BEFORE I bashed and insulted my printer 🤣. Thanks, it really helped! 👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you! We taped a paper towel soaked with a bit of disinfectant spray to the tip of a piece of A4 watercolour paper and it worked! Canon MX390 series printer

Thanks. This 50% worked, but it kept stopping after a few sheets. I solved it by tilting the printer back at 45 degrees, so the paper falls into the feeder.

Worked like a charm!! Thank you.

Awesome work my man, worked like a charm. I used a microfiber towel and a ruler then poured some rubbing alcohol onto the tip of the ruler and worked it under the roller and bottom surface. Ditto for the roller in the back but using my finger instead. Thank you!

Wow, you just saved me a bunch of money. I was all ready to buy a new printer. Thanks heaps.

Very clever fix, I have this exact printer and will give it a go. Thank you for sharing.

I tried your method and had great success. One thing I did different was after I ran process couple times... I added a couple sheets of paper under paper with pads to raise pads tighter to rollers. When I did that it picked up more black. I believed that helped. Thanks again.

Thank you so much! This is so much cheaper than having to replace a printer - lol!

Bless you. Tears of joy. I did it with no results at first, then I thickened the paper load and it worked! I used a piece of moleskin that has adhesive backing and worked like a little sponge.

Worked really well. Easy to follow instructions. Thank you. I used antibacterial wipe and vodka and worked well!

Very good process, so helpfull thanks

Worked for 2 other non-canon printers that weren’t working. Thanks!

Omg!!! Thank you!!! It worked!! I wanted to throw it out the window and i just got new ink

Thank you!! I did it with paper towel and windex and it worked straight away

Thank you so much for this! It did work. However, I had a problem as my printer sucked in the entire paper with the wipes stapled on and I instinctively pulled it and tore the paper! So it jammed completely and I had to open the printer in the back and use tweezers to pull out the peaces of paper with the staples and wipes... It was a mess. Luckily, everything ended well! And I no longer have the initial nor any problems! Yay! 😀

Thank you. I didn't staple, but when I slightly swabbed a single sheet of the paper with the alcohol strips, it worked fine since alcohol evaporates so fast. After two passes, everything was fine

Thank you so much this really does work 😀

My Canon TR4500 hasn't been used in years. Thank you for this! I was about to buy a new printer 😭

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was just about to order a new printer...

Facing the same problem myself (with a Canon Pixma MG5750), I had to find a "softer" solution. Here it is: simply unplug your printer, turn it on its back, so the underbelly is facing upwards. Slide the floor of the upside-down paper cartridge out to its full extent (as you would if you were inserting a stack of sheets of paper). This will reveal the first dual-roller unit that is failing to pull in paper. In this position, they can be rolled freely. Now, take a 15cm strip of sticky tape (known to some as Sellotape or Tesa-Film) and loop it around one of the rubber ribbed rollers with the sticky surface in contact with roller, holding the ends of the tape between the thumb and forefinger of each hand. Ensuring that the tape is seated flat against the rubber roller, proceed to gently and evenly draw the tape back and forth from one end to the other, rolling the roller as you go. You will notice the sticky tape plucking the dust and dirt from the roller. Repeat as often as necessary, but three times should be enough. Repeat on the other side. For good measure, lightly dip a fine, not too soft artist's paintbrush (5-8 mm wide) in some isopropyl alchohol cleaner and brush from side to side over the surface of the rubber rollers and through the ridges on them. Let the cleaner evaporate and you're done! Carefully flip the printer over, making sure various flaps and covers don't drop open. Reconnect the mains lead. Switch on. Place paper in the cartridge. Print as normal.

Thank you so much, you saved a printer from the landfill.👍

Very useful. Thank you 😊

Great! I worked instantly! Thank you su much.

Thank you for your assistance,,,🙏🙏🌷🌷🌷

Thanks! It worked just as you suggested....Fantastic!!!

You are so cool for this... thanks!

It work...thank you so much for helping ❤❤

ty, i didnt realise there was a second roller compartment at the back with some paper stuck in it!

thata fixed my cannon printer, thanks

Thank you. I did what you said and my printer works fine now.

Oh my god ..this saved me ..dust on the rollers is the culprit.. after cleaning the rollers paper pulled in like anything.

This method fixed my printer paper feed problem. 👍👍👍

Thank you very much! My printer now works.

Thank you! I sell stickers and kept having issues! Game changer!

My 3rd MG3620 in 6 years. In fairness, I bought on in Budapest for a 3 month stay and left it for the landlord. The machine just quit picking up the paper. As I had paid $49 for it 3 years ago, it seemed to have met my requirements for cost of use and reliability. I had bought a "back up " two yeas ago for fear of rising prices and a need to not be without a backup (OCD can do strange things). I took me 3 days to get the newer printer tork in wireless mode but . now, it does. I'm afraid to toss the older machine thinking that I might be able to fix the paper feed problem (why I wanted to replace it) Thanks

what do i do if the error is P and 2, btw we have the same version of printer. i hope you could help me with this one

Thank you 🎉

Thank you goodsir

Worked thanks bro

Any idea on how to fix the same issue, but caused by the rolls' spring being weak? More precisely, on how to reach those rolls' platform in the first place to stick a sponge there in order to force it down

Thank you❣️

Thank you thank you!!

Feed when the Alcohol paper is wet or let it dry?

It worked on my 3600.

This worked for me. Cleaning that is! I have a Pixma MG4120 and all i did was take a hand sanitize wipe that i have plenty of (thanks covid)...took a butter knife...wrapped the wipe around the knife and proceeded to stick it into the roller and swirl that wipe around. Presto! Cleano! That printer slurped up that paper like snot! 🤣

thank you so much, you saved my life 🤣

The first roller that feeds in works fine but it’s coming out really slow, still can’t fix it

My rollers aren't rolling at all !! What can I do?

This did not work for me. Any other suggestions?

The printer is so poorly made. Got so angry took it upstairs and threw it out the window

Thanks for the great, easy to understand vid, but unfort this didn't work for me, not sure why (will take to i.t guy in shop, more $ to spend (& damn it, of course I'd just put new ink cartridge in, those things arent cheap either)

Thank You you are clear and easy

Oh my gosh, such an easy fix that worked! I was afraid I’d have to take it apart 🥲
