Cannon 600 paper will not feed when printing or copy,
Clean the feed rollers.
If you have the Canon Pixma MP600, then there is a "Feed Switch" button on the main button-pad, just below and to the right of the "On/Off" button.
The "Feed Switch" button lets you choose between feeding the paper into the somewhat upright feeder in the back of the printer (the one where you can see the paper sticking out of), OR feeding the paper from a hidden tray that pulls out from the very bottom of the front of the printer.
I didn't know about the hidden tray - the plastic is the same color as the main printer body, and is flush with the bottom. It is below the output feed "drawbridge" tray, and you can't see it when the drawbridge is down.
You can pull the bottom feed tray out and put paper in there to feed the printer.
But I like using the rear feeder because then I can see how much paper I have left before running out.
Sounds like either the paper pickup roller is dirty or the paper tray lift spring located inside the paper tray is not lifting the paper when the drawer is inserted into the machine.
Try feeding paper through the manual paper feed area. This is the same place where you would feed envelopes into the printer/copier. If the unit feeds the paper into the unit and completes the printing cycle, sounds like the main drive mechanism is working just fine. If the paper does not feed, then sounds like the drive clutch on the feed motor might be bad and will need to be serviced by an authorized technician.
Another thing you can try is to change the paper you are using. Sometimes if the paper is damp, it will slip when the pickup roller attempts to grab the sheet of paper.
Hope this information helps.
Cheers,
Keith

don't know if it's the same problem i had but its maybe worth a try. My paper went in a little, the wheels were turning but it didn't take the rest of the paper or print.
someone replied to my problem, i tried it and its fixed 1st time, for others its taken a few attempts and then worked..
Solution:- Use a piece of thin card, a magazine cover is what i used, make sure its A4 size then try to print something, as the paper starts moving PUSH it through! and hey presto it worked for me, everything printing fine now. hope this helps, let me know how you get on. Garty

I get the same problem, except when I print I don't hear any mechanical clatter. I get a "printer out of paper" error from windows.
