After partially disassembling the Canon printer, we discovered that it's almost impossible to get to the part that is broken. I think I will still attempt a full disassembling some day, when I have lots of patience and time. In the meantime, we ended up buying a new printer - the Epson WorkForce 600. So far (after an hour) it seems very nice - nicer than the Canon it replaces. Only two downsides: it doesn't do duplex printing, and it installs some crapware. I had to search a bit on Google to find the following thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=648074
The install process was tedious, with about 6 installers kicking in at various times. But now the printer seems to be working well - wireless printing, good quality photos, better faxing. I'm happy.
Except the environmentalist inside is crying a little. Quite a waste of resources to buy another printer when we have one already. Hopefully we can fix it and then give it to someone who can use it.
