Please consider the following:
Are you using a factory new ink cartridge?
If you are using a refilled or third party cartridge that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.
They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead.
If you are using factory new cartridges, then please call the manufacturers Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges

Thats like asking why your engine works but your tires are flat. You need scanning software on your computer for the scanner to work, but if you just want a copy you press copy. It won't scan until it knows where to send the scan and how you want it scanned.

E5-5 = The ink cartridges are not installed or a non-supported ink cartridge is installed, or the ink cartridges are not installed properly

It's mean the ink in cartridges going empty.

Are you trying to use a re-filled cartridge or a third party cartridge?

If so, the printer's logic may be blocking the use of the cartridge.

If you are using a factory new Canon cartridge, then you need to contact Canon Technical Support.

E4 is a ink empty error.There is a memory in the cartridges and printer still recognize it like empty.You need to turn off the function on printer to show the ink level.Push and keep the "resume"button for 5 seconds.

E4 says the ink is empty, sometimes you can print if you just press and hold the OK button for a few seconds, but if the error doesn't clear, you will have to replace the color ink before you can print in just black.

This is an error athat shows that the FINE Cartridge may not be installed properly, or the Cartridge may not be the compatible with this machine. the cartridge may be faulty or if it is a compatible type that you have not used before it may have adefective chip and you will need to Install the appropriate FINE Cartridge. If lines are misaligned or the resulting output is not satisfactory, carry out the FINE Cartridge Alignment

just reinstall the application software agian.the cd which come along with the printer.

You have refilled the ink that is why it reports low ink.
The explanation for this, is that the ink cartridge estimates the ink level by using the number of pages you have printed. Once you have reached a pre-programmed number of pages, the ink cartridge reports that it is empty; but it is not necessarily empty.
If it prints then continue printing. However, it will always give a low ink warning. Remember to get it refilled once the pages start getting missing text (or graphics).
If you cannot print, then you will either have to purchase a new cartridge or ask the person at the refill shop to reset it, if it is possible.
