how can i fix my printer?

i have a canon pixma ip1500. on start up, the printer makes a strange noise, then the green light flashes orange three times. this suggests a paper jam, only there is no paper stuck.help!

had the same thing Stephen on my canon s520,if you put your help disc in i wouldnt mind betting it will also tells you that your waste ink tank is full
i just went out and got a cheap printer because the cost of repairs was more than the printer was worth
