Are the ink cartridges properly installed? Perhaps one or both are loose?

Is there any paper that is still stuck? Does the front panel of the printer show error 1300 (Paper jammed)?

If not, probably best to call Canon to see about a service or repair. Just a guess, but clicking sounds may be gears slipping.

Did you know that Canon charges $20 for you to talk to someone there!? Ridiculous. I"ve tried adusting the ink, no paper stuck and I cleaned the encoder strip. still knocking.
