If My Printer is not displayed on Start screen, select Search charm. I uninstalled the printer & reinstalled using original cdrom, rebooted computer & still have the same problem. Start when Windows is Started Starts the Canon IJ Status Monitor automatically when.
Ha ha !! There is absolutely nothing in the manual for troubleshooting. Went to Canons website and I dont see any new driver downloads available & they say Win 7 driver should work. If this doesn`t clear the error, see the printer manual for more details". So I clicked on " OK " and first the color ink light started blinking and then the amber alarm light would blink 8 times, which apparently means something ? Then another error message would come up on the screen that read, " Service Error 5200 ", " Cancel printing and turn the printer off and then on again.
If the printout contains misaligned lines or is not satisfactory after the installation or replacement, refer to the User`s guide, ( which has absolutely nothing at all in it for troubleshooting ). The message reads "The ink cartridge has been installed or replaced. On the heading it reads "Canon MP 240 Series Printer-USB001". After I do this, the color ink light starts blinking and a message comes up. So I click Start and then click notepad and type out a few words of script. After I turn the power on, just the green power light is on. I have rebooted the computer, I have pressed every button there is to press, When the color ink light is not blinking, then the alarm light is blinking. The MP240 has high-speed USB and PictBridge interfaces for printing directly from compatible digital cameras and camera phones. I just put a new black ink cartridge in, the color cartridge is empty but still in place. The color ink cartridge light keeps blinking.
