So I went to the Internet for inspiration because I knew I wanted to somehow either add weight to the horizontal bar on which the rollers were mounted, or increase the spring tension. There's nothing really you can adjust with these printers the tension spring was just not good enough to adequately pull the rollers down into contact with the paper. You end up stretching the rubber tracks around the feed rollers, wearing them smooth prematurely and ending up with catastrophic loss of grip, just like excessive camber on F1 cars (ha). I tried all sorts - wrapping the rollers with small strips of tacky gaffertape to widen their diameter, pushing up on the underside of the paper tray to try and make them contact the rollers better, even moving the rubber tracks towards the edge of the wheels to make their edges 'ride up' and contact the paper better.īut in the end, some sponge (visible behind the bar supporting the feed rollers) solved the problem! ( view larger)īefore I used the sponge method, moving the grippy rubber bands to the edge of the grooves on the rollers worked, proving it was a simple issue of roller clearance, but it's not ideal.

The Canon MG5750 (and printers of its ilk) are designed to a price, and that is cheap. The fix, as it turns out, is really simple! I put up with this for a while but an attempt to print some documents evening pushed me into investigating. Soon after buying mine, the paper feed (take-up of paper from the tray into the mechanism) started to behave irregularly soon after that I ended up having to nudge each sheet of paper in to the printer, it was unable to take in paper itself.

Resarch indicates it's sadly a common issue with this range of Canon printers. Unfortunately, one of the fundamental requirements of any printer - to be able to take in paper successfully - was a little lacking with this unit. Was handy at £45 (another set of genuine ink for it costs the same, go figure) but obviously I never expected it to be perfect.

I have a cheap Canon Pixma MG5750, a Currys PC World purchase when I needed a cheap multifunction printer fast.
