The printer should be on,remove the paper from the printer(if there is any),press and hold the down arrow/cancel button, release the button when the power light blinks 3 times ... The printer will rollers will automatically revolce and clear all the jams.. When the power light is green then repeat the same step 3-4 times.. To confirm the paper jam is cleared then feed 8 1/2 * 11 paper in the printer and again press the down arrow button and release the button once the power light bliks for 3 times and then release the button. If the printer feeds properly it confirms the hardware of the printer is fine.
Software issue: Go to printer and faxes in computer and check the icon. If it says.. 0 paper jam then, delete the icon and chcek in the device manager if there is an entry of usb printing support under Universal Serial Bus controller .. if the entry is there then delete it. Insert the printer cd in the computer and unplug and replug the usb cable from the printer. If the setup screen comes up then exit out of it and the printer drivers will get updated. After that tried to print another tets page from the computer. It will definately print. Thank you.
Hey I had the same problem. Called the company; we couldn't fix it. Well I turned it upside down and a 2" flower stem fell out from when I cut some flowers next to my desk. It still didn't work. I was examining the feed area while it was running and I found another little piece of stem that was lodged way in there. I had to get it out with tweasers and it turned out to be 1" long. Couldn't really see it at all. Works fine now.
Issue: Paper feeds skewed Solution: Clean The Paper Feed Rollers Using The Operation Panel - MP600
Clean The Paper Feed Rollers Using The Unit's Operation Panel
If the paper feed roller is dirty, paper is not fed properly because the paper feed roller slips. Cleaning the paper feed roller could resolve the paper feeding problem. Please follow the instructions below to clean the Paper Feed Rollers directly from the unit.
Caution: Since the cleaning process wears down the paper feed roller, perform this procedure only when necessary.
Ensure that the machine is powered on and remove any paper from the auto sheet feeder or the cassette.
Use the <Feed Switch> button to select the paper source where you do the paper feed roller cleaning. Click for here additional information.
Press the <HOME> (A) button.
Use the Easy-Scroll Wheel (B) or press the right / left arrow to select [Settings], then press the <OK> button.
Use the Easy-Scroll Wheel (B) or press the right / left arrow to select [Maintenance], then press <OK>.
Use the Easy-Scroll Wheel (B) or press the up / down arrow to select [Roller cleaning], then press <OK>.
Use the up / down cursor button to select [Yes], then press the <OK> button. (The paper feed roller cleaning starts.)
To check if the rollers are clean, load a sheet of Letter-sized plain paper in the same paper source you selected in step 2.
Use the Easy-Scroll Wheel (B) or press the up / down arrow to select [Roller cleaning], then press <OK>.
Use the up / down cursor button to select [Yes], then press the <OK> button. (Paper will be fed.)
Note: If paper is not fed properly, repeat steps 4 through 10 above up to three times.
Paper Source
Press the <Feed Switch> button to switch to toggle between the Automatic Sheet Feed (ASF) or Cassette. The light will come on when the <Feed Switch> is set for that paper source. ASF The above illustration shows a PIXMA MP500
Cassette
The above illustration shows a PIXMA MP500
Note: When printing from the computer, if paper does not feed from the source you have selected on the operation panel, check Paper Source setting in the printer driver. If the option is not set to 'Paper Feed Switch', paper will feed from the source selected in the driver. Click here to return to step 2
Right ... After 5 minutes of looking and fiddling I have found the solution!! press the button abover HOME and it should change the tray in which you are printing from :D
Regarding your recent inquiry about the poor black print quality (Canon PG-225 PGBK ink cartridge) & lack of overall printing performance with your Canon MX882 printer, it sounds like your PRINTHEAD is either clogged (from dried ink) or has reached END-OF-LIFE, to help determine which please perform the following steps (if you have already performed a step, please continue to the next step in the order shown):
Canon Cartridge Troubleshooting: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=1537
1.Go into the printer's maintenance/tools menu and print a print quality test (i.e. heading cleaning, nozzle test or similar) to help identify which color (of number of colors) is impacted.
NOTE: To help determine which color has run out, use the following suggestions in sequence until you are able to identify the empty color: 1) Generate a Print Quality Test Page from your printer control panel; a faded color band indicates empty. 2) To distinguish between a black and photo black cartridge, print a text document and/or a photo. Faded black in a text document indicates the black cartridge is empty; faded black in a photo indicates the photo black cartridge is empty. 3) To distinguish between cyan, yellow, and magenta click here: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=146 A faded or missing color band indicates empty.
2.At the printer's control panel under the 'Maintenance' or 'Tools' menu, activate a 'CLEANING' or 'HEAD CLEANING' to prime the ink system. Then Run the Inkjet411 'Ink Recovery Test Print' from our Test Prints page to verify all colors are firing properly (all printers also provide some form of a Self Test page): http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=146
3.Check your user's manual to see if there are any procedures on cleaning the service station/capping station assembly (this is where the carriage/cartridges 'park' when not in use). A dirty service station can cause all kinds of improper color output problems (assuming the printhead is working correctly of course). NOTE: May not be applicable for your model depending on the printer design.
4.The Ink Absorber, if applicable depending on print model, may also be full which could also cause printing related issues (typically an error code will be displayed when the ink absorber is full)...here is a customer/yahoo response on this particular issue: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130523085451AAE1TqW
5.Refer to our print quality support page to ensure other variables are not causing the issue such as printer driver settings or operating system device conflict, etc: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=1432
6.If this does not remedy the problem, then one or more of the ink ports may be dry within the PRINTHEAD assembly (the ink cartridges physically connect to this electronic assembly). We suggest you either remove the printhead and perform a hot water flush for 2 minutes (in a sink) or using an eye-dropper, or similar, drip 5-10 milliliters (i.e. 1-2 teaspoons) of distilled water into the respective color ink port to help saturate the foam. http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=2804
7.Reinstall ink cartridges and retest.

8.If the problem persists, then you may have a damaged PRINTHEAD (worst case scenario), unrelated to the refilled cartridges. The printhead is a separate electronic assembly (which the cartridges are installed into) and is responsible for firing the ink drops onto the paper. Over time and based on usage this assembly will eventually fail (typically lasts ~4,000 to 5000 printed pages on avg). Refer to video on how the PRINTHEAD functions: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=2054
----
PRINHEAD TECHNICAL NOTES:
IIT (individual ink tank-based) printer models have an electronic PRINTHEAD within the base of the carriage assembly (responsible for pulling ink from the 4, 5 or 6 ink cartridges and then firing the ink droplets onto the paper) - these will eventually fail depending on print usage type and printer duty cycle (i.e. rated for approximately 10,000 printed pages over life, but the consumer average is typically closer ~4,000-5,000 thruput pages). The printhead is replaceable and can be ordered directly from the manufacturer or www.Amazon.com . For information on how the PRINTHEAD functions, please watch the following video: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=2054
Typically the printhead should not reach it's end-of-life until after a minimum of 8 or more complete sets of cartridge changes. While some printheads may last 10,000+ pages others may only last 2000 pages, actual results will vary. The printhead will eventually fail in time due to an internal micro-electronics failure, due to the following leading factors: general customer print usage and printer care, printer duty cycle (i.e. # pages printed per month), printing frequency (i.e. time between each print job), print mode (i.e. draft vs. normal) and content printed (i.e. photos vs plain pages) and color mode (black and white only vs. color/greyscale printing).
Paper types used (i.e. plain paper, photo papers & matte/heavy bond papers) and paper edge curl (i.e. duration in printer and/or exposure to low relative humidity) can also quickly lead to premature printhead failures due to physical 'head strikes' of the paper edges making repeated contact with the printhead nozzle plate surfaces.

CAUTION: the use of compatible/clone cartridges (i.e. sold thru the internet from China) are known to be problematic and may cause printer errors and permanent PRINTHEAD damage. We do NOT suggest refilling these types of ink cartridges.....refilling of original/genuine ink cartridges is only suggested!

-Thank you
This is something I have seen on a number of occassions and it's always been the same issue.
One of the ink cartridges has come unseated and has popped up out of its bay.
First of all make sure that the printer is not switched on. then open the lid.
Get something thin and strong (rigid) - a 6inch steel ruler is ideal.
Slide it in over the ink cartridges and then press down hard.
Hopefully you will hear one of them click as it goes back into place.
Turn the power back on and see if that has fixed it.
It generally does - but your's may be the one that doesn't.
Your black catridge might be over flow through its head.... so to solve your problem rub them neatly with toilet paper and replace it..... now your printer is ready to use... thanks
You may be printing a PDF from within a web page and using the browser's print button instead of the PDF reader's built in print button. Just a guess since I'm not a clairvoyant and have no idea what the situation is. Care to fill us in? I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/matt_7e951e081251ffbc
Actually pretty easy to do and just in case someone never gets back to, Cannon does provide an online user manual.To darken copies: While in copy mode, press the menu button. Next, arrow over to "copy intensity", once there you should make sure that you\'re in manual mode, hit OK. This will bring up a darken/lighten mode and you can make adjustments from there to what you want. If your copier is starting to fade on it\'s initial copy setting, you also may be close to running out of ink if you haven\'t checked it in a while. Even though they shouldn\'t , if you don\'t used it that often, it can still dry out the connections. Hope this helps.
HI.. It means that the purge assembly, thats the cleaning unit where the
printhead parks when off on the right, is jammed and cannot move.Look
for paper or foreign material stopping it from moving. Sometimes the
squeegee unit needs to be pushed back if the pads get stuck under it...
Error Code E05 Canon MP258 may solve by the following steps.1.Press Stop/Reset button for 5 seconds.2.After five seconds release the button.3.Now your printer will start its process and it is ready to use... thanks
