The printer driver may not be installed correctly. Uninstall and re-install the printer driver. – Make sure that there is a direct connection between the printer and USB port of the computer. Reboot the computer with the printer`s USB cable unattached and reconnect the cable once the computer has restarted.
Almost all printer USB cables are universal. They usually have a USB Type-A connector on one end and a USB Type-B connector in another end. This is because most computers have a Type-A port and printers have a Type-B port.
Connect your printer via a USB cable

Simply plug one end of the cable into the USB port on the Canon printer and the other into the USB port on your computer. Then, plug in the power cable and turn on the printer.

The USB port is located on the rear of the machine.
Troubleshoot the printer USB connection

Check the USB cable for damage and recommended length, and then restart your printer and computer. Turn off the printer and the computer. Disconnect the USB cable from the computer and printer, and then inspect the cable.

Please use a USB cable equipped with a Micro-B plug for connecting to the camera and a Type-A plug for connecting to the computer.
Most computer USB ports supply 5V of electricity with a maximum current of 0.5A.
For a printer connected to the computer via USB, the Port should be set to USB Virtual Printer Port (such as USB001, USB002). For a printer connected to the computer via Parallel, the Port should be set to LPT1 (or LPT2, LPT3 if you have more than one Parallel interface port on your computer).

Simply turn the printer off with the power button on the printer. Once turned off, disconnect the printer`s power cord from the back of the printer. Wait approximately 30 seconds before you reconnect it. Once reconnected, use the printer`s power button to turn the printer back on.
Check6 Make sure wireless signal is strong. Monitor signal strength and move printer and wireless router as necessary. Place the printer and wireless router where there are no obstacles between them. Wireless communication between different rooms or floors is generally poor.
If you connect the printer to your computer via a USB cable, check whether the cable is properly connected. If it isn`t, re-plug it and make sure they are properly seated into the ports on both your printer and your computer. Try another USB port on your computer in case the one you previously used is broken.

feed issue
ANSWER : Haven’t seen this issue on that model. Solenoids never go bad. Every solenoid HP has ever used has this sponge to dampen the clicking noise. The sponge will disintegrate from heat and use and then become sticky. This causes the pickup roller release plate to stick and allow the roller to rotate continuously. All you have to do is scrape off the goo and replace with thin sticky backed felt. I’ve fixed thousands of them this way.

Printer having issues detecting paper
ANSWER : There’s only the one sensor in the printer that is just before it gets under the cartridge path. Once the paper hits that sensor, the printer assumes that it is ready to get print on it and prints until the job is done, whether the paper moves or not. If it doesn’t hit the sensor or doesn’t clear it after printing, then the printer signals a paper jam. I’ve never seen an inkjet where the transport mechanism after the pickup roller fails to move the paper. So, if it picks up and gets to the sensor, the only thing I’ve ever seen stop it is a scrap of paper left behind after someone impatiently yanked a jammed paper out. What to try is to take a piece of file folder and shove it down the paper path in the direction paper normally moves. The file folder is usually stiff enough to push out any unseen leftover scraps of paper.

Print Quality Issue (Streaks and Ghosting)
ANSWER : Streaks are mostly caused by internal drum wiper blades that clean left over toner off the drum to prepare it for a new image. Ghosting is caused by a leftover image on the drum. The 6 inches that you mention would be the circumference of the part that is causing it. Fusers will never cause either problem.
