Canon PIXMA paperfeed problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

We bought a PIXMA 3000. The paper feed (upper paper supplier) grabs the
paper on one side and crumples it as it goes into/through the printer.
Cassette feeder works fine. Also, a photo printed with this machine
comes out with horizontal lines across it.

We are obviously going to return it, but I would like to know if we just
got a lemon, and a replacement will work fine, or should we look for a
different printer? Have been extremely happy with the old Canon i850,
but it suddenly refuses to print black, and deep cleaning didn't solve
the problem.

TIA

On my IP4000 that happened only once. After I moved the slide a wee bit
over to the left to relieve pressure it has not happened again.
