The most popular solution is to shut off your printer and allow it to get relax for a couple of minutes. The reason for this could be an obstruction in those rollers or paper jams to the paper that needs to be cleared. For some, this is a good idea. However, if it doesn’t work, there’s an option to test. It all depends on the number of cartridges in the printer and what Canon printer uses.
