My printer suddenly only wants to print from the rear tray (which I had to look for -- didn't know it had one). I've tried resetting the paper source through the computer and by pressing the feed switch. Neither one works. Keeps flipping back to rear tray. What do I do with this?
When you go to print you should get a print page on which you will see properties
click on that and select the tray you want to print from
make that tray the default tray-- apply ---and ok

I'm not sure if you've already checked this, but this was my issue. I, too, would try to print something and it would make a great deal of clunking noise but would then say that there was no paper and told me to load some. I went to the Canon site and before I actually went through the process of cleaning the print roller, I checked the feed switch button on the display panel. It's right below the ON/OFF button and, what do you know, it was set to feed from a paper cassette instead of the back loading tray. I pushed the button and it's now printing fine. I'm sure we must have accidentally hit the button when we were trying to turn the printer on or off quickly. Hope this does the trick! It's always nice when it's something easily fixed!

The error code 5700 is the sensor error.Replace the sheet
feed unit and then adjust the timing of the paper feed gears.

I just spend over an hour on the phone with Canon for the same problem... the resolution is simple. From the Control Panel, select Printers & Faxes. Right-click the mp620 printer, and select Properties. Select Printing Preferences from the bottom of the General tab, then click the Page Setup tab. Choose Print Options at the bottom. Place a check mark in the box next to "Disable the paper source setting of the application software." Click OK 3 times and the problem should be solved.

The paper source keeps re-setting itself to "feed switch." Changing the paper source from the document print setup window or from the printer window doesn't stick. When I try to print after re-setting, the printer still tells me the rear tray has no paper and to load some. I look and the setting is back to "feed switch", even when I change the selection and save it, then immediately reopen the window, it's back to feed switch. Clicking the feed switch on the printer has no effect. There is paper in the cassette.I am not seeing any numbered error code, just the no paper warning.
