[X4U] Pixma Mystery Paper Jam

[Neil]

I spoke too soon.  Every time I try to print from the bottom sheet  
feeder, the paper jams behind that trap door.  If I use the top  
feeder, the paper gets pulled in by only one corner, so it gets stuck  
there.  No matter what I do, I can't get this thing to print.

I board my flight in less than ten hours, so it is too late to get a  
new printer shipped to me in time for my trip, but I plan to call tech  
support when I get back and see if they can resolve the problem for  
me.  I hope they take care of me as well as they did Randy.   Thanks  
for all the help.
