I have an old Canon Pixma ip90 portable printer that I have
been using for over 10 years.  Up until
today it has worked perfectly.  Now it
makes a clunking sound and it sounds like something (The gears or those metal
bars) are rotating.  It will print and feed,
although the feeding part of it looks like it skipped when I look at the label
or paper I just printed.  







Is there any hope for a simple fix?  Canon won’t even look at it as they have
determined this product is too old and has been replaced with the Pixma
110.  







Sometimes it will print correctly, but it makes that
clunking sound.  The light blinks 3 or 4 times when it fails to print.










Thanks.

Best I can do for you, dig in.

Verify how many times the light blinks and look it up in the manual I linked to.

You'll probably have to open it up to see what's slipping or stripped.

If you're lucky, it'll be one of the parts you can find on ebay for $5, like a stepper motor or print head assembly.

There are places on the  interwebs that fix them, but last time I looked it was cheaper to buy new.

Used to have 100 plus out in the field sales force

Thanks!  I will play around with it some more.  I printed a test page using the procedure outlined in that document and it printed fine.  Thanks again!
