PIXMA TR7020a Foam Strip Out of Place and Torn

I had a paper jam in my 7020 printer. After removing the paper and trying to print several more times, I kept getting jams. Upon looking closer inside the printer, I found the foam strip out of place and a little torn. I have been searching to get a new foam strip but just cannot figure out how to get one.

Anybody know how to get a new FOAM STRIP for my Canon 7020a?

Many thanks

I suspect you won't be able to. Unfortunately, the consumer grade printers aren't really intended for repair.

That printer is available for $79 on Amazon right now, and that includes a complete set of ink which by itself sells for $30. The cost of any repair would not be economical.

John might be correct about availability.

Canon has a Parts Department

Canon Parts Order Desk at (866) 481-2569
Weekdays from 9 AM - 7 PM, ET.

Speak the words "order parts" when calling. It will direct you to the parts desk. Availability might depend on whether the part is considered "user replaceable". You'll have to ask.
