I can't get the paper to feed into Canon MP190. No paper jam, machine sounds like it's trying to feed paper.
It's almost always something stuck in there...for me it was a paperclip...the cardboard trick didn't work but it did convince me something was blocking the feed as the cardboard wouldnt go through, but came out with a dent in it where it kept meeting resistance, convincing me SOMETHING was in there. No jiggling upside down would shift it, so I stuck a bread knife under the row of rollers, lifted it up a smidgen, shone a light and saw the culprit! Then while holding the line of rollers up, with a piece of wire fished out the paperclip...so delighted as had just spent loads on new ink cartridges and was thinking Id have to buy a new printer etc...

In the comments section Blumm suggests pushing a piece of cardboard (like the back of a legal pad) through the feeder as far as you can. Turn the printer off and then on again with it in there. Pull the cardboard out and check for any foreign objects that have been pushed through.
It worked for many people including myself - I got a piece of plastic and it works wonderfully again!
there should be no more than 3. look for them, see if they move freely and spring back,
