Add paper and pus blinking light. Or you may have a piece of paper stuck in paper feed area.

The printer part of the device just died. Your scanner and card reader will continue to work, but that heralds the end of the printer itself. I've had two die that way. (I actually keep one around for the scanner).

I already have had this printer for appro 10 yrs. Has been very good & reliable until now. Was having the same problem. Found new driver. Added cartridge. Added paper (of course). No paper stuck in the feed area. Finally talked to a tech that I trusted - & he told me that this printer was past it's lifespan. So I have bought a new one - sometimes you just have no choice. You could take it in somewhere - or have someone out, but it would probably cost more than the printer. Sorry.

You can try reset your printer by restarting your computer and your printer. You may also need to reinstall the drivers or install a new updated driver

My PIXMA was was also displaying a "Remove Paper Jam" message that I couldn't fix, because I couldn't find the jam. I turned the printer upside down and banged on it pretty force ably with an open hand for about 30 seconds, flipped the printer right-side up and it began working again.

I don't know how. I called Cannon. I was told I needed a knew printer, that the printer head had burned out. Read others on line how they resolve this issue with theirs. You might get luck. Good luck!

Plug the old one back in and see if everything works like it's supposed to. That will tell you if it's a problem with the cartridge. Next step would be to try the other, new cartridge you got and see if it causes the paper jam alert. The other resource to utilize is the printer manufacturer. Ask a tech rep.

Suggest you junk the printer. I had two of them and neither worked for long.

Hi, did you manage to stop the clicking noise? Mine is now doing this--as you said, about every second. Additionally, the "in use/memory" light is flashing. This started only minutes ago when trying to print. Thanks for any help.Allison

I gave the printer a good review and I am still happy. I did have a paper jam problem a month ago and there was a piece of torn paper in the back of the paper tray. I would suggest you call the customer service and they will go with you step by step to look for the problem. If nothing is found, they will give you the closest repair shop (Brother pays if under warranty). Hope it works out but maybe you got a lemon.

Yes, same here - no phone line plugged in and printer clicks away like it's destroying itself. I'm replacing it with a new Epson. Posts regarding a phone line must have a different problem!

I had the same problem--the shredder stopped working, and the power light wouldn't come on. I saw Ed Barrington's answer about the safety tab inside the basket. My tab was still there, but when I *removed the plastic bag* that I was using to line the shredder, the machine came on and started working again. Thanks, Ed!

Yes, I have it. Rather, I had it, before the entire printer stopped functioning. There came a point when it wouldn't turn on any more; I'm reasonably certain that it was the printer, though, and not the cable.

Check the new toner make sure it's installed correctly and full. I always put a piece of black tape over the sensor so I don't get that warning when it's still half full. Then I would turn the power off, unplug it for a minute or 2. Then plug it in and follow the reset instructions for that printer. They're available on line.

Take them out to see if there is any ink left...and reset them that might help.....I'm not an electronic person though so I have no idea

I've had a similar problem after the printer sat idle for a week or so. I was able to correct the problem by re-priming the ink cartridges using the syringe provided with the Ink Block system. Remove the plug in the non-working cartridge, and using the syringe, draw a small amount of ink back into the cartridge. Run a cleaning cycle, and see if it is now working.

Hi. Please take the cartridges out, then please turn off printer and then wait 20 seconds. Then turn on printer and don't put in cartridges yet. Wait until the printer starts up. And when it prompts for the cartridges. Please put them in and do 2 test prints. This should work. Please let me know. Thank you

If you contact Brother, they can help. Their CSR Rep was able to help me Purge the print head and now I'm back in business. I got a back-up printer just in case.

If it's plugged in put a cac card in it. There should be a little green light that blinks. If not, the reader is defective.
