Someone, somewhere, suggested removing the cartridges and then the printer head, putting them back, and unplugging and then rebooting the printer. I do believe this has solved my problem. I had been living with the horrid grinding sound for many months, and now it is gone. I am crossing my fingers that this will last, because otherwise it's been a great all-in-one.

use a lint free cloth with a touch of rubbing alcohol or buy a tin of dust-off. The glass is nothing more than glass so don't be afraid of keeping it clean. You just need to be careful not to use anything that can scratch the surface. Be sure to leave the lid open to allow it to dry before scanning.

There is not an easy fix for this sadly. "Head temperature sensor rank" is typically a case of calling a technician or chucking it in the bin depending on how much the printer is worth to you.

I would do all of the following and see if yo can clear this code. It is not on any Canon list of possible codes, so I have no idea what it means., but let's do this:Turn off the printer and unplug it. Remove the print cartridges. Look at them, are they leak free? Look into the cartridge holders. Are they clean?. Dried ink or blobs should be cleaned off with a little alcohol and a Qtip.Are the little wire holders bent or broken? Do they look exactly the same?Turn the printer back on reinstall the cartridges.Check in your printer preferences/services and clean your cartridges. Turn the printer back on reinstall the cartridges.Check in your printer preferences/services and clean your cartridges.Now turn it off again and unplug it. Open the paper jam door and gently push the paper roller forward until it clicks. At the same time, look for even the tiniest scrap of anything in there. Close the paper jam door and plug your printer back in. Restart your computer.If the problem is not solved. You may need to reinstall the printer. Do You have your original disc? Be sure to do a clean install. ( Turn off all running programs in the lower right corner including your virus control. Also go to Toolbar>tools>internet options>general>and delete all you cookies and temporary internet files.) Turn off and unplug your printer.Reinstall the software. When it is finished if it has not told you to plug your print back in do so now. Restart your computer and turn your printer on.I hope this helps. Good luck to you.

The spot in which the paper is fed into could have a fence/blocker. Use wood or a little hunk of aluminum to only allow 1 sheet. You could get fandy and use a rod that could also be mounted on the font.Be crea8tive and good luck.

OK. It sounds like there's something on the carriage bar restricting the movement of the ink carrier. Perhaps some ink got on the bar.
Try taking a clean lintfree rag dampened with rubbing alcohol and clean the bar. This may have to be repeated a number of times to get the foreign matter off the bar and the ink carriage.
Let me know if this helps. iF it does not we can try something else.
Thanks.
