Printer Troubles with the Cannon S820...

[Raistlfiren]

Well I feel like I have tryed about everything out of the book to try to find out why my printer is having so many issues, but I just can not find what the issue would be. My printer keeps on wanting to feed the paper in incorrectly. I have no clude why, but it will feed it in the left side first and get it jammed each time I want to print out something!

I have tryed installing the most up to date drivers for my printers, and still issues. I have tryed blowing it out with an air compressor to try to get out anything that maybe clogging the printer. I have also tryed installing the printer on another pc with the original drivers going step by step with the printer manual. I have tryed several types of printing paper in it and it still wants to feed incorrectly and jam. Nozzle Checks and Printer Head Alighments do not work, because the paper gets jammed. And by golly I have even read instructions on how to feed in paper correctly on the dratted printer. Yet it still gives me trouble with incorrect paper feeds and paper jams. Oh and yes, I have looked at the user guide to follow insctructions on how to correct these issues, and no luck.

This printer is rather old and I was curious if dryed up ink or almost empty cartidges of ink are screwing it up. I wouldn't think that would be an issue, because it seems like that is working and the paper being fed in happens earlier than when the actual printing starts. I really dont want to blow $50 or so dollars on printing cartidges if it still does not work. Anymore ideas on how to correct this is issue?

Sounds like the feeder on one side isn't working. First see whats moving to feed it in then look on the other side to see if it may be jammed.

Hmmm... I dont see anything, but im still looking. It qorked before, but now it isnt... Ugh, so irritating. Why can't things just work ?

Sounds like the pickup roller and pad are shot. Try buffing them with a piece of really fine sand paper. If they have a glave on them that should help. for a while any ways.
