I purchased a Canon Pixma MP160 about 10months ago.
Last week the printer suddenly started to issue an error E 3 signifying paper jam.

There is no paper jammed in the mechanism.

I've tried workarounds which I found on google such as gently forcing an A4
card through the rollers but alas the error wasn't cancelled.

Has anyone come across this ?

According to the other forums I googled it is quite common on some of
these lower end Pixmas and a lot of threads come to a dead end with no
solution provided.
