I had the same problem with my MX340. I called canon and it turns out that something have falling in the paper tray. tilt it to the back and stick your finger in there and try to move the rollers or shake and tap it a little till it falls out. I had a little nail in there. it's working find now.
I had the same issue and I couldnt see any jams any where. If moving the paper pick up wheels with your fingers dosent work as suggested above, Turn Off the Power, open up both lids as you would when you are changing the ink. Move the ink wells over to the left of the printer as you are looking at it. There is a white toothed cog on the far right of the carrige, directly below where the ink wells rest in the off position. Wind this with your fingers forwards and it will push out any small bits of paper trapped underneth that you cant see from the back. Mine was a small triangle of paper about 2cm x 1cm that was causing the error. Once removed all was good. Hope this helps, it is very frustrating I no!.

I followed the advice above of winding the toothed cog. What finally worked for me was to cut a 4x11 piece of card stock and slip it in to the location where the rollers will catch it. This then revealed a wad of paper the I never say otherwise.
Once I removed that wad of paper about the size of a spit ball, all was well.

That worked for me too. Believe it or not, in my case it was a packet of ketchup - the ones you get from togo places!! Luckly it didn't burst... Just pulled it out and ran a clean up cycle to remove smudges during the print... And the printer was back to normal.

There may be any piece or obstacles in the left side of paper path. Try to use thick paper, like 250 GSM and push the paper in to the printer with your hand when printer pickup the paper.
I took mine in to the garage and used my airgun. At first nothing came out other than a heap of dust. Then I turned it upside down and booooom out came a crinkle chip... Damn kids
For us it was a small screw. Could not get it from the back, had to poke it from the front to the back with a BIC pen tip and then it fell out with the printer tilted back.
Thank you all for helping!
Thanks for the suggestion to turn the printer over to see if anything had fallen inside. Sure enough a sliver of glass fell out from when a glass broke and a piece landed in my MX340. It is working just fine now. Thanks for saving me from having to bring it to the service center!
This worked for me too except mine has crumbs from a cake that was set on the computer. Turned it upside down, a few shakes & the 2 crumbs fell out that was hindering my printer.

This was such a lifesaver! I thought I was going to have to buy a new printer. I found a bead inside of mine and now it is working fine. Thank you so much for the posting!
Thanks so much for the suggestion to fix the paper not feeding on the MX340. When I turned it over a sliver of glass fell out where a glass broke and a piece ended up inside the printer.It is working perfectly now.
I thought you were all nuts until I too turned my printer upside down, shaking it like a rag doll. To my shock and awe, a gift card fell from it's jaws! Thank you! You saved me money and misery!
My canon printer is showing paper jammed but no papers in the printer
