Double check all doors/ rollers for small pieces of paper stuck in the rollers. Sometimes just opening the door in question and closing will reset the paper jam sensors. Paper jams can be smaller than your pinky finger nail. So double check,
1. there is a sensor at the end of the printer which shows paper jam recovery. the sensor of your printer may be jammed. clear the jam and it will work.
2. if not, there may be a small piece of paper near the sensor of your printer. clear it.
When the orange light is flashing, either paper jam or ink problem is happening.Try unloaging & reloading the stack of paper in the main tray. Remove & reinsert ink cartridges in the printer. You may also clean the contacts of the cartridge and inside the product.

Hi emdos, Did you mean blinking three times in Orange?. Well, the problem is paper jam error occurs in your printer. First, check if any broken paper inside printer. If it so, remove broken paper. If problem still persist, it seems that drive assy broken or paper feed sensor fault. Find more useful article about this below.
The BJC 3000 will flash two different colored lights in a pattern to signal several different errors. From the documentation I have the two colors are orange and green, could those be the colors you see?

The number of orange flashes between green flashes indicates the type of error, as outlined below. Check the cause and take the appropriate action.
Two flashes: Out of paper, paper jam or paper feed error Replace the paper correctly and press the RESUME/CANCEL button. If paper has jammed in the printer, clear the jam and press the RESUME/CANCEL button.
Three flashes: Paper jam If paper has jammed in the printer, clear the jam, replace the paper in the printer correctly and press the RESUME/CANCEL button.
Four flashes: Empty ink tank One of the ink tanks is empty. Replace it.
If all of the above won't help, unplug the printer from the power cable, wait a while, and plug in.
If that didn't fix you, I guess it's time to get in touch with canon, or a repair lab you trust.
Good luck
