Canon MP620

[BHSnapper]

My MP620 is behaving badly w.r.t. paper feed.

The paper leading edge almost immediately pulled sideways and then printing is severely skewed and the leading edge damaged.

I have checked both tray and cassette feeds and can see no obvious obstructions, though it is possible a small one is out of sight.

I have tried the roller cleaning procedure, but the paper immediately misfeeds and then jams completely. The error message is paper jammed in output tray.

Similarly with bottom plate cleaning.

I have found no similar problems on the Internet.

Any suggestions? The printer is too old to justify expensive servicing!

My observation is that build-quality of the CLI-221 based printers isn't as good as the older CLI-8 based printers. That especially applies to the rear paper feed. I have a similar MP990, and it's paper feed isn't as good as older CLI-8 based printers like the iP4500 or MX850.

But that doesn't help you in your situation. Sorry.

* Is the problem with thin copy paper or inkjet paper, or both?
* Does the problem happen with both the rear paper tray and cassette?
* Can you try different paper sizes? Like 4x6" as well as letter size?
