Howdy!
I have a "Cannon MP210" and get an "Error 3". Error 3 means it is a papper jam, however there is no paper jam. Anyone familar with this printer that can help.???
Thanks,
Walt




Hi Walt,I am a Canon & Sharp copier tech and I do not work on these small inkjet printers so my advice is limited here. You are right that it is a paper jam which Canon support says this. "If paper has jammed in the machine, clear the jam, reload the paper in the machine correctly and then press the Black or Color button." Here are something I would do:
Turn the power off to the printer and turn back on. Is the the error still present? If so then there is a paper detect sensor that is still actuated and would usually be at the registration near where the print head goes across the paper. Most small inkjet printers only have one sensor as their paper path is very short. However getting to this sensor can be a bear sometimes.
If after resetting the power and there is no error but jams as soon as you try to print means other problems.
Also if you have not tried Canon's support you might email them and see what advice they have.
