Canon G5000 constantly jamming

[Roberto Smith]

I've had a Canon G5000 for about 2 years now and it's been a good printer overall with little trouble. The last few weeks however have seen it start to jam more frequently, to the point now where it's getting paper jams pretty much every time I try to print. I have to open the lid and manually yank the paper out. Most of the time it's not even started to print or maybe gets an inch or so into the print before it jams.

Any ideas what's causing it and how I might fix it? I can't see anything obviously wrong and I'm using the same paper, ink etc that I've always used.

Aha just tried loading it from the top and it seems to work okay. Printer from the cassette jams it all the time though!
