Paper feed issue on canon MG3550

Eric -

the first paper feed roller is not picking up the paper. (Canon MG3550 printer)
I have to "help it" by pushing each sheet in by 1 or 2 cm.
How can I clean (or replace?) the paper feed roller?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello
Over time, paper deposits "dust" particles on the rubber rollers that move the paper.
Dismantling and cleaning with 90° alcohol is possible, along with other tricks like using double-sided tape on the sheet to stick the dust, but be careful that the paper doesn't wrap around the rollers.
There are explanatory videos on YouTube (often in English, but that's not a problem) about cleaning methods for your Canon MG model

Replacing it involves finding parts that cost almost the price of the printer at Canon ;-(

Cheers
If this answer helped you: a little thank you is nice. If it’s resolved: the green button at the top is better ;-)

Let whoever has never opened a user manual throw the first mouse.

As far as I'm concerned, I've started several prints using the photocopy button by placing a fine grit sandpaper in the tray and holding it in such a way that it doesn't get pulled into the printing circuit. This causes the feed rollers to slip on the sandpaper and clean them. In any case, with regard to my Canon MG3650, it worked.
