Hugh, thanks. I'll take a look...but I have a feeling that degree of
disassembly is probably above my pay grade and I'd end up with a
workbench full of printer parts.
The machine is actually a spare and used only occasionally by my wife to
make copies. She said she doesn't mind the single sheet feed-- so it
might be better to just leave well enough alone!
I took the machine out of service several years ago because Canon
stopped updating the drivers for it and I couldn't use it any longer
with the then-just-updated Mac operating system. Interestingly, I
noticed that Canon now has issued drivers for the current Mac OS on
their website.
I was ticked off back then when they obsoleted a perfectly running
machine and I complained to their customer no service department and
escalated the call. The "supervisor" said I needed to buy a new
printer...and I said I would-- but sure as hell not a Canon ;-)
