MG 5450 prints a few lines, then stops with paper jam message

[ramasaig]

My Canon MG5450 has taken to printing a few lines, then stopping and announcing a paper jam. Prior to this it had printed 20+ double sided A5 with a few hiccups, but I'm sure there's no paper actualy jammed anywhere (none of the sheets came out torn). I suspect that because it will print a few lines before stopping that there must be something in the paper output slot that's getting the the way of the emerging sheet, but I can't see how to open that slot up to check. This stoppage even happens on test prints, so it can't be the computer connection

Any suggestions, please?

Thank you for your reply. That's very disappointing, as there doesn't seem to be a support community based in UK.

I would imagine that there must be very similar models (to MG5450) that are sold in USA, and which might suffer the same problem.
