I tried all the Canon forums. Nothing worked. But I did your trick, except with a newspaper. I kept pushing every time the rollers worked. Then, once the printer stopped, I pressed Start again to keep the rollers going again. I kept doing this until the newspaper came out the front end. Then I put the real paper in there and, voila! It works like a charm now. Thank you so much!🙏
First step: Just look carefully if some object has fallen in the paper feed and is in the way. I credit you for getting me to just look closer (I feel so stupid). Thanks for posting!
You are a miracle worker! Thank you so much for sharing this! After spending almost two hours trying multiple troubleshooting suggestions from the canon website/online manual to no avail, the temptation to take my machine outside with a baseball bat a la Office Space was ever increasing. Luckily, I stumbled across your video. Immediately after inserting the cardboard, a piece of packaging was pushed out. It must have made its way in our machine during a recent move and was entirely hidden. Powered back on and the copy paper zipped right through! So happy and relieved. Thanks again!
I love you!!!! I have been through hell and back with this printer and I'm not abandoning this amazing printer. This one stumped me. I have the MX922. I put cardstock through my printer thanks to you and it FINALLY dislodged this tiny piece of paper that was torn and sitting in my printer. I couldn't get the side panals off per other tutorials. It's not as easy as they made it look. This cardstock worked!!! Thanks printer goddess!!!!
It’s really working! My newly purchased printer stopped picking up paper. We were in so much pain and couldn't figure out what was causing the breakdown. I have watched many videos on youtube and nothing has helped. But your video just calmed our nerves. Thank you for sharing!!!
This is a life saver for me at 11 in the night, paper tray was not taking paper in and I tried Auto Clean with no benefit. Then I stumbled across this video and initiated Auto Clean and pushed the card board in the paper tray, to my surprise I saw a piece of my kid’s puzzle come out of the tray. Thank you for saving my day.
Thank you so much! My aging Pixma 300 has been working fine for a number of years until it stopped feeding paper from the paper "tray". I had tried using a Q-tip and alcohol to reach all of the rollers I could reach, but it didn't change the situation. I had doubts that the cardboard would work, but figured I had nothing to lose. The cardboard eventually jammed going in, but it was long enough to pull back out the paper feed slot. That did the trick! Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I read on a forum that a bunch of people had fixed their problem by turning the printer upside down and shaking it. I tried that but nothing came out but THEN I tried your cardboard trick and was able to see that somehow a SCREW had been lodged in there, so after running the cardboard halfway through I unplugged it and shook it again and the screw came out. YOU SAVED ME!!!!!
I'm using a Canon mg3000 printer. I had the same issue. After watching this video, I tried the exact same thing, just like magic, it worked. My son's lego head was found stuck inside my printer. I really want to thank you so much for sharing this.

This worked!!! I used the front of a cereal box, pushed it through once and it was a small chip of wood stuck in there?! Took literally 2 seconds and fixed it! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!! I was getting so frustrated that I didn’t know why it wasn’t working! I cleaned the rollers and it didn’t work. After trying this, I found stickers that my daughters had put that got jammed inside 😑. Thank you so much!!
I will rarely post feedback in the comments section of a youtube video, but this has really saved my printer. Like magic, after using the cardboard the printer chucked out a piece of tape that was jamming the feeding mechanism. Thank you Lin Young!
THANK YOU!!! This totally worked, and I am so relieved!!! One day my printer just stopped feeding the paper, out of nowhere. It would make the sounds like it was printing, but it wasn't pulling the paper through. I tried the cleaning protocols, but nothing was working. I found this video, and was skeptical, but figured I had nothing to lose. I had to apply some significant force to get my piece of cardboard through, but out popped a tiny pebble! We keep our printer in a cabinet and on top of it sits a small handheld vacuum. I think something probably fell out from the vacuum and got wedged into the printer where I couldn't see. I'm so happy and the internet is awesome, haha! Thank you!
THANK YOU!!! This fixed my problem immediately, I was worried I was going to need to buy a new printer! I can't believe how easy this was. Thank you soooo much!
Thank you so much! It works! I followed your instruction by putting the cardboard in the paper support. Then I set the cardboard to the b sign as you instructed in your video. Finally, I hit the print button and I manually forced the cardboard all the way to the paper output tray. It is a magic trick! Thank you again for saving me a few dollars!
I was about to throw my printer away because I had been on the Canon website for hours looking for how to fix the problem and I had watched 5 other videos. Nothing was working. I didn't want to try the cardboard thing because I was afraid it would really mess up the printer, but as a last ditch effort I shoved some through and voila, my printer was working. Turns out I had a strip of paper that was crinkled up inside the printer. Thanks so much!
Thank you all for your feedbacks regarding this method. :-) It's funny/not funny to read the kind of "stuff" that caused the paper not going through the feeder, that were "pushed out" by using this method,: a Flower Stem. hah! :-). I almost gave up trying but I am glad I did not. So. Try this method when you have relaxed and have some time to yourself. So you won't be frustrated on your first try/tries. :-). So let us know what you found inside the paper feeder that caused the problem. Unless, ofcourse, you found something you did not want anyone to know. :-)
I have a Canon Pixma MG 3022 Printer that would not pick up the paper and feed it through. The cardboard trick actually worked. After hours of reading, searching, and trying many other kinds of tips, the cardboard trick instantly fixed my problem. Much thanks to Lin Young.
ohmygod I need to THANK YOU so much!!!!! Like you, I had opened up my printer and cleaned it to no avail. It was working correctly just 2 days ago then suddenly one side of the paper wasn't feeding down. So, in a desperate search for a solution I found this video and tried it as a last resort. Lo and behold a piece of DOG TREAT got pushed out of the feeder area by the cardboard! Now the printer works perfectly! Thank you SO much for taking the time to show this trick. You just saved me $160 to replace the printer.
This was the video that got my hand me down printer on the road to recovery. It led me to find out that foreign objects often fall into these Canon printers. I've never encountered this problem with any other printer in my last 20 odd years of regular printing use! Although the cardboard trick didn't work for me, and you will see why in a minute. I tried for quite a while. Then tried putting my hand in , when I encountered something unusual on one side of the rollers. Then I got a torch, I could see a memory stick stuck in there. I got a hook and went fishing. Out it came. It was a missing work one, now back with its owner. I would say, use a torch first. Then use the cardboard if you can't see anything.
OMG...This totally worked for me. I have a Canon pixma 495 printer that was working flawlessly until today. It suddenly had paper jams from one side of the printer. I tried cleaning the rollers as best as I could. Over and over again. I finally came across your video and tried a piece of cardboard and ran it through as much as I could until it stopped. Looked inside and saw there was a popped kernel of POPCORN inside. I have no idea how it got there, and would have never seen it til the cardboard pushed it out. WOW! Thank you sooooo much for this. Much appreciated.
THANK YOU!! YOU SAVED ME FROM BUYING A NEW PRINTER I WAS JUST ABOUT TO. I USED YOUR TRICK AND A THUMBTACK CAME SHOOTING OUT OF MY PRINTER. WISH I COULD SEND YOU A GIFT OR SOMETHING!!
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!!!!! I have been trying to fix this printer for MONTHS!! I was so disillusioned when I tried this when I did a test print I didn't even look. I didn't realize that it worked for several minutes!!! Thank you so much!!!

Your printer does not need to be turned on to insert the cardboard. I turned mine on because I thought I needed to clean the roller but after I did that it still would not pick up the paper. So I tried inserting the cardboard while the roller is rolling, thinking it might make the board go though easier...but not really. So don't worry about not knowing how to make your printer's roller rolling. Just force the cardboard in.
Your idea is 100% correct. and your video deserves a 1000 thumbs up. In my case, I tried using a paper to get the object down. but it did not. guess what did I do ? I flipped the printer upside down and I found something interesting I found uA741 operational amplifier , Lol .

Just chiming is to say that this worked! After weeks of not being able to print, I went on a Google hunt for a fix and saw this video. Thought what the heck I've tried everything else, and sure enough a little white screw came out as the cardboard went in. Now it works like new again! Thank you!

you are a saint! i have been sitting here for well over an hr trying to figure out why my printer was only partially pulling paper through. did this trick and out popped a caprisun straw thanks to my 2 year old son.
Worked!!!! Out popped a nickle! Couple of notes: 1. Gently use the card board 2. The cardboard does not go all the way through the machine. You will use it to shove whatever is clogging you machine through. 3. After the object is out, the machine will start feeding 3+ pages though the machine - blank. let it finish. 4. Upon finishing, set the machine back to "1" from "b"

My cannon pixma MG 3022 printer malfunctioned. I couldn't get the paper to feed through the machine. I watched a few youtube videos stating that the problem were dirty rollers and that they needed to be cleaned. I did this and still no success. I then came across this video and my first thought was that this was definitely going to damage my printer, but I was out of options so I tried it. IT WORKED. Imagine my surprise. I had a two safety pins lodged in there. I just want to say thank you to Ms. Lin Young for this unorthodox but effective method of fixing my printer. Thank you Ms. Lin Young.

OMG, I was about to throw this thing in the trash (Except I was still using it as a scanner only) because paper would not feed. I tried your trick of stuffing the cardboard down in the rollers AND IT WORKED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dang, Your'e the BEST! THANKS !
Omg!! It worked!!!! A quarter and a penny came out!! Had to run it through a few times... but hey my printer is fixed!! Thank you so much!! For the skeptics, give it a try.
I was about to give up and go on amazon and buy a new printer, I tried the cardboard thing and it did not work until I let the printer take the cardboard, I felt it probably didn't work be4cause the cardboard jammed partway through, I went to shut it off but checked the inside by the cartridges and suddenly I see a shiny penny, I then tried again and this time the paper fed through perfectly! Thanks Lin Young! Your solution really does work!
My printer has been dormant for almost a year and so now I'm experiencing the problem.. but the solution WORKED! In my case, I just used thick paper. Thanks a lot!
Thank goodness I came across your video!! I tried your trick and out popped a Rememberance Day poppy of all things! Thank you for sharing and for saving my sanity!
Thank you so much Ms Lin. I was getting ready to purchase a new printer and I watched your video. I did exactly what you did and behold! There was a scrunchie stuck in my printer! Once I pulled it out, I fired up my printer and everything is working perfectly. Thanks so much for the help!!!
Wow. It worked ! I'm not aware of any foreign objects coming out, but there was a loud "clunk" and after reconnecting, everything worked. Thank you so much!
Oh my.. at first, I never thought that I would work.. but it did. I was so stressed with my printer for days now. You are an angel. I am glad I bumped into your video. Nice trick :-) God bless you.
amazing!! it worked like a charm..after several times of trying, the cardboard finally pushed outside my son's stone like candy stucked inside my Canon G3010..lifesaver! thank you so much!
OMG thank you! I use a random paper manual to force it out. I found beaded ring in there thank got I elastic didn’t break. I even bought new inkt thought that’s the case though. I did multiple hard reset no results. After some searching found this vid. Your method works!! Thank you
This worked for me today! Took out a thick plastic clip from the feeder. Excellent - i kept the printer for garbage, but wanted to give it the ONE try after looking at this video, which to me was kinda ?!? but turned out to be !!!!! awesome. Thanks!
Wow!! This worked!! There was a small flattened stone, the kind you put at the bottom of a fish tank in the left side of the small rollers!! Thank you!!
Wow! This worked. I just folded some thinner cardboard to make it thicker, and the cardboard pushed out a flower bud that my 2 year old had put in there, came out! Thanks so much.

you just salvaged a 200.00Epson ecotank printer that was only 6 months old. I couldn't return it because I had used sublimation ink in it. thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you!!! It worked on my Pixma G3200. I just started to 'print' the document, and shoved in the cardboard instead of paper. Voilà! A push pin popped out. Liked and subscribed!! Thanks!
THIS WORKED! You are a genius. Thank you SO much. Oh my goodness. I had an entire USB cable that had fallen in there! Unbelievable. I did exactly what you said. Thank you SO much.
omg.... god bless this video.. i was literally taking my printer apart because i was so stubborn thinking "nothing fell into the feeder, nothing could've fallen into it",,..... turns out a little charm i had sitting on my printer fell into it 😅 safe to say I'm never putting little things on top of my printer ever again. tysm
i realllllly can't believe i watched this video and decided to give this a shot, i figured i had a mechanical problem and really doubtful i had something stuck in there, i shoved a piece of cardboard through and an iPod cord charger popped out lmao, thanks!
Dang, I'm impressed. I was so confused by the comments at first but this actually worked for me. To clarify, I was expecting to have to clean the rollers since I was getting the paper jam error but there wasnt any paper. Turns out, there was a twist tie inside the printer. To get it out, I just forced the cardboard in while the printer is not printing and for me it pushed the twist tie out. I wouldn't have expected that to be the issue like how would anything have gotten in there, but this video saved us from buying a new printer so thank you.
OMG! This worked for me just a moment ago!!! Not sure who left a 20 cents Singapore coin on top of my printer cover and having not thought about it, I opened the printer cover and before I could even stop, it slipped into the roller section, not visible at all! My thought of THE END of my Canon Pixma MX357 that had served me for the last 7 years depressed me. After many attempts to shake it out failed, including trying tho learn how to take the printer apart, I was about to accept its fate. I decided check out UA-cam for a solution. Among the many videos, I just wanted to try this. Lo and behold! The coin dislodged and became visible. Lift and tilt. Thank you Lin Young for sharing this!
Thank you very much.... I did the same way for my CANON PIXMA E400 & it worked. The hard paper pushed out the particle that blocked my right side of the paper roller. Wonderful.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS REALLY WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! The tip of an Inkpen was jammed in mines. This fix saved someone from getting an RKO. Thank you, ma'am!!!!
OMG this worked like magic! I just bought my printer and just a few days after, it kept on pushing the paper to the right side of the feeder and the paper comes out with tore on the side. I was about to have it checked where I bought it when I watched this. Tried it with half the size of the cardboard tho, but voila! I got a one peso coin in there. This really helped a lot. Thanks!
Thanks for your video and advice, tried what you suggested and it pushed out a tiny spanner which had fallen in from my dremel after doing diy the other day, wasn’t aware I’d lost such a small spanner tool. Thanks again for this hack and a trip to my electrical store
I was very skeptical. I tried this because we just bought brand new ink, both color and black. Had nothing to lose. It worked!!!!!! I did not find anything actually stuck but there had to be something jamming it, hadn't used it in about a year. Thank you very much!!!
Was honestly thinking some of the comments under this video are not real LOL! But after trying this I immediately found a foreign object inside the printer. Not really sure what it's called but it's like an accessory attached to the zipper so it will be easier to pull, some kind of cable with a plastic on the end, it was stuck in there. I thought it was part of the printer as I was pulling it. But I thought that the first piece I took seems to have been cut already so if it's part of the printer then it's already broken to start with so pulling the other part shouldn't cause more damage than there already is and after getting it pulled my mom identified it as one of the little cables attached to the zippers of the bag. So yeah, thank you soo much! I thought I'll have to spend money just to get this fixed. But your 6-year old video just help me!
This worked! Had to really push the cardboard down, but eventually it pushed out 2 small pieces of dry wall to fell into the feeder (renovating my "home office). Thank you!
Ha! Worked for me too! A pen had rolled into my paper tray and it popped up! I couldn't even see it before I put the cardboard in there. Awesome! Saved me from buying a new printer! I never thought of something being stuck in there!
this helped me so much! i really was about to cry because my canon pixma ts3122 was doing this, it picked up paper but it wouldn't go through! i tried this method and found a cornflake chip, im not sure how it got there but im glad i stumbled upon this video!
Thank you, Lin Young. I just bought my printer one week ago. The roller keep rolling, but never pick up any paper. Service Center asked me to send back the printer, but it's too troublesome. Then i found your video. Guess what? Immediately after inserting the cardboard, a ruler was pushed out underneath my printer! Then...... it works again! Thank you very much!
I have a Canon PIXMA Ts3122 printer, the paper would get pulled down but wouldn't feed through. Just did this and it was such a life saver! My piece of cardboard didn't run all the way through, but it pushed out what was stuck. Which turned out to be one of those bread twisty ties!😂 Thank you so much!!
This is a fantastic trick. I followed the instructions and there was really a piece of plastic in there. Tried to print but the problem existed. Then I followed the steps again with placing the cardboard at the other side, and surprisingly found another piece of plastic : ). Finally tried to print and it really worked out. Thanks.
I can not believe this worked. This is a replacement printer I bought a year ago because my previous printer did the same thing. The Cannon website was zero help, I ran all the tests they suggested. I'm going to dig the old printer out and see if it is also fixable. Thank you!!
Big thanks for posting this great video. I thought my old MP 240 Canon Printer was on it's last leg until I stumbled upon youir vid. It worked like a charm.
IT WORKS!!! I forgot about the popcorn i dropped in my printer one night. Couldn't get it to feed paper, tried everything! Card board pushed popcorn right out. THANK YOU!!!!

Ty so much!! Been trying everything for 2 days, cleaning with alcohol, shaking (yes, last resort)😂, did this & when it finished & I printed out a copy paper, it spit out a dried up cactus flower, had plant sitting on top, never thought of it! Ty, ty!
worked for me. Should be tried first especially if you have toddlers. Spent 2 hrs doing many trouble shoots. this solved it instantly and I found a pen refill and a clip stuck there. thanks.
This was an awesome suggestion. I totally did this and found a piece of card board in my printer. It has been printing forever then just stopped. YOU DID GREAT. works perfect now.
this sounds silly but this tip really worked. turns out there was some of my earphone earbuds that got into the printer! it took some time before it came out...but now my printer is working again. need to do a mental note to fold the paper feeder flap down to cover the paper pathway whenever it's not in use to prevent anything from going into it again!
Holy cow. You absolute genius. I bought my printer used and was afraid I'd gotten ripped off when the paper wouldn't feed through and kept jamming. I found your video after HOURS of trying literally everything else. It worked! Turns out there were some pieces of walnut in there. So random.
Thank you for this method. İ put thin paper and forced to pass through it. İt worked. There was piece of paper stuck in it. My printer is now working fine. Thank you a lot.
Oh I am so grateful, it has been driving me bonkers. Like you I have cleaned and cleaned but to no avail. This worked perfectly well. Many, many thanks.
This worked! Mine was clogged by a piece of dried potting soil (my printer is on a shelf under my plants!) I forced the cardboard in and pushed it right out. So glad I found this!
I was skeptical at first but I tried as a last resort and it amazingly instantly helped removing some surprise hair band my daughter gifted the printer before.
YES!!! My dad had this problem and he was ready to go buy a new one, but we tried it (half size, not full size sheet of cardboard) works best - out popped a little hanger and nail - we couldn't see it before!
![How to Fix Canon PIXMA Printer Paper Pickup / Feeder Problems. Roller Cleaning [Guide]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4zDCEvSV0yU/mqdefault.jpg)
I tried all the Canon forums. Nothing worked. But I did your trick, except with a newspaper. I kept pushing every time the rollers worked. Then, once the printer stopped, I pressed Start again to keep the rollers going again. I kept doing this until the newspaper came out the front end. Then I put the real paper in there and, voila! It works like a charm now. Thank you so much!🙏
Good to know it thanks
You are welcome! Glad it worked😊
Having the same problem with mine, will have to try this. Kids said throw it away and get a new one. Don't want a new one.
First step: Just look carefully if some object has fallen in the paper feed and is in the way. I credit you for getting me to just look closer (I feel so stupid). Thanks for posting!
😆👍
You are a miracle worker! Thank you so much for sharing this!

I love you!!!! I have been through hell and back with this printer and I'm not abandoning this amazing printer. This one stumped me. I have the MX922. I put cardstock through my printer thanks to you and it FINALLY dislodged this tiny piece of paper that was torn and sitting in my printer. I couldn't get the side panals off per other tutorials. It's not as easy as they made it look. This cardstock worked!!! Thanks printer goddess!!!!
Hahaha 😂. So happy for you!!👍
It’s really working! My newly purchased printer stopped picking up paper. We were in so much pain and couldn't figure out what was causing the breakdown. I have watched many videos on youtube and nothing has helped. But your video just calmed our nerves. Thank you for sharing!!!
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER. My paper wasstopping feeding midway. I forced a cardboard piece through and now it works perfectly
Glad it worked. Hope your printer is still working now.👍 😊
This is a life saver for me at 11 in the night, paper tray was not taking paper in and I tried Auto Clean with no benefit. Then I stumbled across this video and initiated Auto Clean and pushed the card board in the paper tray, to my surprise I saw a piece of my kid’s puzzle come out of the tray. Thank you for saving my day.
Hah.. it's always fun to hear what people find from there printers
Thank you so much! My aging Pixma 300 has been working fine for a number of years until it stopped feeding paper from the paper "tray". I had tried using a Q-tip and alcohol to reach all of the rollers I could reach, but it didn't change the situation. I had doubts that the cardboard would work, but figured I had nothing to lose. The cardboard eventually jammed going in, but it was long enough to pull back out the paper feed slot. That did the trick! Thank you!
Glad it worked 😃
Glad it worked 😁
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I read on a forum that a bunch of people had fixed their problem by turning the printer upside down and shaking it. I tried that but nothing came out but THEN I tried your cardboard trick and was able to see that somehow a SCREW had been lodged in there, so after running the cardboard halfway through I unplugged it and shook it again and the screw came out. YOU SAVED ME!!!!!
Amazed! Thank you for your help, I was on the verge of going out to buy a new printer! A bit of our broken wall had fallen into the printer!
Lol...mine was a screw. Lol
I'm using a Canon mg3000 printer. I had the same issue. After watching this video, I tried the exact same thing, just like magic, it worked. My son's lego head was found stuck inside my printer.
I really want to thank you so much for sharing this.
haha..it's funny to hear what people find that stuck inside the printer. Thanks for sharing. Glad it worked. :-)
Was so mad at my printer literally was about to throw it across the room until this, there was a cough drop wrapper stuck inside!! So happy thanks!!
haha...I am glad it worked for you! :-)
It’s really working!
My newly purchased printer stopped picking up paper. We were in so much pain and couldn't figure out what was causing the breakdown. I have watched many videos on youtube and nothing has helped. But your video just calmed our nerves. Thank you for sharing!!!
Wow, who thought this would work. Almost tossed my printer that's been sitting for months. Thank you
You're welcome! Glad it worked😀
This worked!!! I used the front of a cereal box, pushed it through once and it was a small chip of wood stuck in there?! Took literally 2 seconds and fixed it!
Thank you so much!
Glad it worked 😄
Thank you so much!! I was getting so frustrated that I didn’t know why it wasn’t working! I cleaned the rollers and it didn’t work. After trying this, I found stickers that my daughters had put that got jammed inside 😑. Thank you so much!!
I will rarely post feedback in the comments section of a youtube video, but this has really saved my printer. Like magic, after using the cardboard the printer chucked out a piece of tape that was jamming the feeding mechanism.
Thank you Lin Young!
What an amazing fix...turned out we had something stuck in the feeder and had no idea. Your solution fixed our problem and saved us money...A+++
I am glad it worked for you! :-)
THANK YOU!!! This totally worked, and I am so relieved!!! One day my printer just stopped feeding the paper, out of nowhere. It would make the sounds like it was printing, but it wasn't pulling the paper through. I tried the cleaning protocols, but nothing was working. I found this video, and was skeptical, but figured I had nothing to lose. I had to apply some significant force to get my piece of cardboard through, but out popped a tiny pebble! We keep our printer in a cabinet and on top of it sits a small handheld vacuum. I think something probably fell out from the vacuum and got wedged into the printer where I couldn't see. I'm so happy and the internet is awesome, haha! Thank you!
THANK YOU!!! This fixed my problem immediately, I was worried I was going to need to buy a new printer! I can't believe how easy this was. Thank you soooo much!
You are welcome. Glad it worked 😃
Thank you so much! It works! I followed your instruction by putting the cardboard in the paper support. Then I set the cardboard to the b sign as you instructed in your video. Finally, I hit the print button and I manually forced the cardboard all the way to the paper output tray. It is a magic trick! Thank you again for saving me a few dollars!
I was about to throw my printer away because I had been on the Canon website for hours looking for how to fix the problem and I had watched 5 other videos. Nothing was working. I didn't want to try the cardboard thing because I was afraid it would really mess up the printer, but as a last ditch effort I shoved some through and voila, my printer was working. Turns out I had a strip of paper that was crinkled up inside the printer. Thanks so much!
Thank you all for your feedbacks regarding this method. :-) It's funny/not funny to read the kind of "stuff" that caused the paper not going through the feeder, that were "pushed out" by using this method,: a Flower Stem. hah! :-). I almost gave up trying but I am glad I did not. So. Try this method when you have relaxed and have some time to yourself. So you won't be frustrated on your first try/tries. :-). So let us know what you found inside the paper feeder that caused the problem. Unless, ofcourse, you found something you did not want anyone to know. :-)
I have a Canon Pixma MG 3022 Printer that would not pick up the paper and feed it through. The cardboard trick actually worked. After hours of reading, searching, and trying many other kinds of tips, the cardboard trick instantly fixed my problem. Much thanks to Lin Young.
I usually never comment on youtube, even when I find things that work. Thank you so much, had a dang thumbtack in there. Back in business
Montu Miller ...hey, I am flattered that you posted a feedback .lol
ohmygod I need to THANK YOU so much!!!!! Like you, I had opened up my printer and cleaned it to no avail. It was working correctly just 2 days ago then suddenly one side of the paper wasn't feeding down. So, in a desperate search for a solution I found this video and tried it as a last resort. Lo and behold a piece of DOG TREAT got pushed out of the feeder area by the cardboard! Now the printer works perfectly! Thank you SO much for taking the time to show this trick. You just saved me $160 to replace the printer.
This was the video that got my hand me down printer on the road to recovery. It led me to find out that foreign objects often fall into these Canon printers. I've never encountered this problem with any other printer in my last 20 odd years of regular printing use! Although the cardboard trick didn't work for me, and you will see why in a minute. I tried for quite a while. Then tried putting my hand in , when I encountered something unusual on one side of the rollers. Then I got a torch, I could see a memory stick stuck in there. I got a hook and went fishing. Out it came. It was a missing work one, now back with its owner. I would say, use a torch first. Then use the cardboard if you can't see anything.
Canon printers attract foreign objects. Glad it worked for you.
I love reading about what was stuck in everyone's printer, lol!!! I'm gonna try this.
Hah. It really is interesting to hear about what fell into that paper feeder. Hope you fixed your printer.
It is very interesting to hear about what people find in that paper feeder. :)
Thanks! I couldn't figure out how to feed the cardboard through but I managed to get the earring out anyway 🤣
I am so into abdl
chicken bone????????? I don't even know how it got there.
OMG...This totally worked for me. I have a Canon pixma 495 printer that was working flawlessly until today. It suddenly had paper jams from one side of the printer. I tried cleaning the rollers as best as I could. Over and over again. I finally came across your video and tried a piece of cardboard and ran it through as much as I could until it stopped. Looked inside and saw there was a popped kernel of POPCORN inside. I have no idea how it got there, and would have never seen it til the cardboard pushed it out. WOW! Thank you sooooo much for this. Much appreciated.
Absolutely perfect! Thank you for this! Worked like a charm. Had a whole wad of paper that had gotten stuck in there somehow. Life saver.
Glad it worked 👍😁
THANK YOU!! YOU SAVED ME FROM BUYING A NEW PRINTER I WAS JUST ABOUT TO. I USED YOUR TRICK AND A THUMBTACK CAME SHOOTING OUT OF MY PRINTER. WISH I COULD SEND YOU A GIFT OR SOMETHING!!
OMG i can't believe this worked. A hot freeto's chip popped out of mine lmao!!!! You're a life saver >>>
haha,,I love hot freetos.
Glad it worked. :-) Your printer liked freeto's chip too. lol
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!!!!! I have been trying to fix this printer for MONTHS!! I was so disillusioned when I tried this when I did a test print I didn't even look. I didn't realize that it worked for several minutes!!! Thank you so much!!!
OMG this worked. thank you sooo much. ive been struggling with this all morning

Thank you :-)
I needed my printer this evening for a package I need to ship tomorrow morning and I was able to fix my printer. Thank you so much for posting this!!!
Your printer does not need to be turned on to insert the cardboard. I turned mine on because I thought I needed to clean the roller but after I did that it still would not pick up the paper. So I tried inserting the cardboard while the roller is rolling, thinking it might make the board go though easier...but not really. So don't worry about not knowing how to make your printer's roller rolling. Just force the cardboard in.
Your idea is 100% correct. and your video deserves a 1000 thumbs up.
In my case, I tried using a paper to get the object down. but it did not.
guess what did I do ? I flipped the printer upside down and I found something interesting
I found uA741 operational amplifier , Lol .
So glad the idea worked for you. :-)

Just chiming is to say that this worked! After weeks of not being able to print, I went on a Google hunt for a fix and saw this video. Thought what the heck I've tried everything else, and sure enough a little white screw came out as the cardboard went in. Now it works like new again! Thank you!

it works in canon MG2550 as well.
Thank you. Glad to hear that.
you are a saint! i have been sitting here for well over an hr trying to figure out why my printer was only partially pulling paper through. did this trick and out popped a caprisun straw thanks to my 2 year old son.
Worked for me some how I had a damn cookie jammed in it wtf
Wtf????lol
@@linyoung7616 I must of been eating cookies at the computer and one fell under and got lost in the printer lolol
@@brandon12946 the best one is a person who found a cig butt...wtf...lol
Worked!!!! Out popped a nickle! Couple of notes:
1. Gently use the card board
2. The cardboard does not go all the way through the machine. You will use it to shove whatever is clogging you machine through.
3. After the object is out, the machine will start feeding 3+ pages though the machine - blank. let it finish.
4. Upon finishing, set the machine back to "1" from "b"

THAN YOU!!! ALMOST GAVE UP, i tried this and a small pencil is the culprit of it.. thank you..
My cannon pixma MG 3022 printer malfunctioned. I couldn't get the paper to feed through the machine. I watched a few youtube videos stating that the problem were dirty rollers and that they needed to be cleaned. I did this and still no success. I then came across this video and my first thought was that this was definitely going to damage my printer, but I was out of options so I tried it. IT WORKED. Imagine my surprise. I had a two safety pins lodged in there. I just want to say thank you to Ms. Lin Young for this unorthodox but effective method of fixing my printer. Thank you Ms. Lin Young.

OMG, I was about to throw this thing in the trash (Except I was still using it as a scanner only) because paper would not feed. I tried your trick of stuffing the cardboard down in the rollers AND IT WORKED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dang, Your'e the BEST! THANKS !
Omg!! It worked!!!! A quarter and a penny came out!! Had to run it through a few times... but hey my printer is fixed!! Thank you so much!! For the skeptics, give it a try.
I was about to give up and go on amazon and buy a new printer, I tried the cardboard thing and it did not work until I let the printer take the cardboard, I felt it probably didn't work be4cause the cardboard jammed partway through, I went to shut it off but checked the inside by the cartridges and suddenly I see a shiny penny, I then tried again and this time the paper fed through perfectly! Thanks Lin Young! Your solution really does work!
My printer has been dormant for almost a year and so now I'm experiencing the problem.. but the solution WORKED! In my case, I just used thick paper. Thanks a lot!
Thank goodness I came across your video!! I tried your trick and out popped a Rememberance Day poppy of all things! Thank you for sharing and for saving my sanity!
Hahaha. So glad it worked for you. 😆
Thank you so much Ms Lin. I was getting ready to purchase a new printer and I watched your video. I did exactly what you did and behold! There was a scrunchie stuck in my printer! Once I pulled it out, I fired up my printer and everything is working perfectly. Thanks so much for the help!!!
Hahaha. I am so glad it worked you! 😆
Wow. It worked ! I'm not aware of any foreign objects coming out, but there was a loud "clunk" and after reconnecting, everything worked. Thank you so much!
Oh my.. at first, I never thought that I would work.. but it did. I was so stressed with my printer for days now. You are an angel. I am glad I bumped into your video. Nice trick :-) God bless you.
amazing!! it worked like a charm..after several times of trying, the cardboard finally pushed outside my son's stone like candy stucked inside my Canon G3010..lifesaver! thank you so much!
OMG thank you! I use a random paper manual to force it out. I found beaded ring in there thank got I elastic didn’t break. I even bought new inkt thought that’s the case though. I did multiple hard reset no results. After some searching found this vid. Your method works!! Thank you
So glad it worked. 😆
This worked for me today! Took out a thick plastic clip from the feeder. Excellent - i kept the printer for garbage, but wanted to give it the ONE try after looking at this video, which to me was kinda ?!? but turned out to be !!!!! awesome. Thanks!
This worked for me. Didn't see anything come out but paper will load again now so this was the fix that worked. Worth a try whoever reads this
@@JayCmakinmusic 😄👍
I tried it with just a thicker piece of paper and shoved it in there and IT WORKED afterwards! Thanks
This worked. It turned out that I had a pushpin lodged in the roller. The cardboard trick dislodged the pin. Thank you so much!!!
THIS WORKED. I shoved the cardboard through and it pushed out a hair tie that had gotten stuck in there. I had no idea. Im so happy!!!!
Wow!! This worked!! There was a small flattened stone, the kind you put at the bottom of a fish tank in the left side of the small rollers!! Thank you!!
Wow! This worked. I just folded some thinner cardboard to make it thicker, and the cardboard pushed out a flower bud that my 2 year old had put in there, came out! Thanks so much.
BRILLIANT!!!! WAS GOING TO GET A NEW PRINTER . WITH NOTHING TO LOSE I TRIED IT AND ITS WORKED .....NEVER POSTED BEFORE! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH
john bayram -glad it worked. flattered you posted . :)

you just salvaged a 200.00Epson ecotank printer that was only 6 months old. I couldn't return it because I had used sublimation ink in it. thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you!!! It worked on my Pixma G3200. I just started to 'print' the document, and shoved in the cardboard instead of paper. Voilà! A push pin popped out. Liked and subscribed!! Thanks!
Hey I am glad it worked 😃
THIS WORKED! You are a genius. Thank you SO much. Oh my goodness. I had an entire USB cable that had fallen in there! Unbelievable. I did exactly what you said. Thank you SO much.
omg.... god bless this video.. i was literally taking my printer apart because i was so stubborn thinking "nothing fell into the feeder, nothing could've fallen into it",,..... turns out a little charm i had sitting on my printer fell into it 😅 safe to say I'm never putting little things on top of my printer ever again. tysm
Hah! Glad it worked 😃
i realllllly can't believe i watched this video and decided to give this a shot, i figured i had a mechanical problem and really doubtful i had something stuck in there, i shoved a piece of cardboard through and an iPod cord charger popped out lmao, thanks!
Excellent, worked for me. Almost put the printer in the bin. But i followed the simple steps and out came a staple! Thanks
Dang, I'm impressed. I was so confused by the comments at first but this actually worked for me. To clarify, I was expecting to have to clean the rollers since I was getting the paper jam error but there wasnt any paper. Turns out, there was a twist tie inside the printer. To get it out, I just forced the cardboard in while the printer is not printing and for me it pushed the twist tie out. I wouldn't have expected that to be the issue like how would anything have gotten in there, but this video saved us from buying a new printer so thank you.
OMG! This worked for me just a moment ago!!! Not sure who left a 20 cents Singapore coin on top of my printer cover and having not thought about it, I opened the printer cover and before I could even stop, it slipped into the roller section, not visible at all! My thought of THE END of my Canon Pixma MX357 that had served me for the last 7 years depressed me. After many attempts to shake it out failed, including trying tho learn how to take the printer apart, I was about to accept its fate. I decided check out UA-cam for a solution. Among the many videos, I just wanted to try this. Lo and behold! The coin dislodged and became visible. Lift and tilt.
Thank you Lin Young for sharing this!
Thank you very much.... I did the same way for my CANON PIXMA E400 & it worked. The hard paper pushed out the particle that blocked my right side of the paper roller. Wonderful.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS REALLY WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! The tip of an Inkpen was jammed in mines. This fix saved someone from getting an RKO. Thank you, ma'am!!!!
Elder ceo you are so welcome. who'd have thought of this idea, right? glad your saved money from buying a new ball pen. hope you saved the pen...:)
OMG this worked like magic! I just bought my printer and just a few days after, it kept on pushing the paper to the right side of the feeder and the paper comes out with tore on the side. I was about to have it checked where I bought it when I watched this. Tried it with half the size of the cardboard tho, but voila! I got a one peso coin in there. This really helped a lot. Thanks!
Thanks for your video and advice, tried what you suggested and it pushed out a tiny spanner which had fallen in from my dremel after doing diy the other day, wasn’t aware I’d lost such a small spanner tool. Thanks again for this hack and a trip to my electrical store
I was very skeptical. I tried this because we just bought brand new ink, both color and black. Had nothing to lose. It worked!!!!!! I did not find anything actually stuck but there had to be something jamming it, hadn't used it in about a year. Thank you very much!!!
Was honestly thinking some of the comments under this video are not real LOL! But after trying this I immediately found a foreign object inside the printer. Not really sure what it's called but it's like an accessory attached to the zipper so it will be easier to pull, some kind of cable with a plastic on the end, it was stuck in there. I thought it was part of the printer as I was pulling it. But I thought that the first piece I took seems to have been cut already so if it's part of the printer then it's already broken to start with so pulling the other part shouldn't cause more damage than there already is and after getting it pulled my mom identified it as one of the little cables attached to the zippers of the bag. So yeah, thank you soo much! I thought I'll have to spend money just to get this fixed. But your 6-year old video just help me!
This worked! Had to really push the cardboard down, but eventually it pushed out 2 small pieces of dry wall to fell into the feeder (renovating my "home office). Thank you!
IT WORKED!!!!!!! Thank you. A little flower from my crafting supplies was stuck in there.
Glad it worked! :-)
Ha! Worked for me too! A pen had rolled into my paper tray and it popped up! I couldn't even see it before I put the cardboard in there. Awesome! Saved me from buying a new printer! I never thought of something being stuck in there!
...and my printer had a very thin paintbrush in it. This worked for me and now the printer is working fine. Thanks!
this helped me so much! i really was about to cry because my canon pixma ts3122 was doing this, it picked up paper but it wouldn't go through! i tried this method and found a cornflake chip, im not sure how it got there but im glad i stumbled upon this video!
Thank you, Lin Young.
I just bought my printer one week ago. The roller keep rolling, but never pick up any paper.
Service Center asked me to send back the printer, but it's too troublesome.
Then i found your video. Guess what? Immediately after inserting the cardboard, a ruler was pushed out underneath my printer!
Then...... it works again! Thank you very much!
Haha...I am glad it worked, and you found your ruler. :)
I have a Canon PIXMA Ts3122 printer, the paper would get pulled down but wouldn't feed through. Just did this and it was such a life saver! My piece of cardboard didn't run all the way through, but it pushed out what was stuck. Which turned out to be one of those bread twisty ties!😂 Thank you so much!!
😊👍
Thank you. Had a piece of junk stuck in there. Your method worked great. You saved me $$$$.
This is a fantastic trick. I followed the instructions and there was really a piece of plastic in there. Tried to print but the problem existed. Then I followed the steps again with placing the cardboard at the other side, and surprisingly found another piece of plastic : ). Finally tried to print and it really worked out. Thanks.
I can not believe this worked. This is a replacement printer I bought a year ago because my previous printer did the same thing. The Cannon website was zero help, I ran all the tests they suggested. I'm going to dig the old printer out and see if it is also fixable. Thank you!!
Big thanks for posting this great video. I thought my old MP 240 Canon Printer was on it's last leg until I stumbled upon youir vid. It worked like a charm.
IT WORKS!!! I forgot about the popcorn i dropped in my printer one night. Couldn't get it to feed paper, tried everything! Card board pushed popcorn right out. THANK YOU!!!!
FlushHella popcorn. hah! glad ithe trick worked..

Ty so much!! Been trying everything for 2 days, cleaning with alcohol, shaking (yes, last resort)😂, did this & when it finished & I printed out a copy paper, it spit out a dried up cactus flower, had plant sitting on top, never thought of it! Ty, ty!
I cannot believe this worked for both my printers!!!! Thank you so much for this trick!!!
Haha. Glad it worked. So what did you find?🤣
Oh my god...I can't believe this worked. Saved me from buying a new printer. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Glad it worked! :-)
worked for me. Should be tried first especially if you have toddlers. Spent 2 hrs doing many trouble shoots. this solved it instantly and I found a pen refill and a clip stuck there. thanks.
This was an awesome suggestion. I totally did this and found a piece of card board in my printer. It has been printing forever then just stopped. YOU DID GREAT. works perfect now.
Glad it worked! :-)
this sounds silly but this tip really worked. turns out there was some of my earphone earbuds that got into the printer! it took some time before it came out...but now my printer is working again. need to do a mental note to fold the paper feeder flap down to cover the paper pathway whenever it's not in use to prevent anything from going into it again!
Holy cow. You absolute genius. I bought my printer used and was afraid I'd gotten ripped off when the paper wouldn't feed through and kept jamming. I found your video after HOURS of trying literally everything else. It worked! Turns out there were some pieces of walnut in there. So random.
Hah. Now you know the seller loves walnuts. Could be their kids 😃
Thank you for this method. İ put thin paper and forced to pass through it. İt worked. There was piece of paper stuck in it. My printer is now working fine. Thank you a lot.
Oh I am so grateful, it has been driving me bonkers. Like you I have cleaned and cleaned but to no avail. This worked perfectly well. Many, many thanks.
This worked! Mine was clogged by a piece of dried potting soil (my printer is on a shelf under my plants!) I forced the cardboard in and pushed it right out. So glad I found this!
THANK YOU THIS SAVED ME BEFORE MY FINALS, I OWE YOU MY LIFE. SO HAPPY RN!
Hope you did well on your finals 👍
I was skeptical at first but I tried as a last resort and it amazingly instantly helped removing some surprise hair band my daughter gifted the printer before.
Oh my goodness I just tried this and you fixed my printer I was getting ready to throw it away. Thank you so much!
IT WORKSS!! idk how a piece of usb cable got stuck there but your video helped me tysm
YES!!! My dad had this problem and he was ready to go buy a new one, but we tried it (half size, not full size sheet of cardboard) works best - out popped a little hanger and nail - we couldn't see it before!
