Good day, I have a canon mb2040 that won't print. the orange light in the right hand corner is on and I have never seen it on before?

Turning off and on pressing buttons does not work. Error 6000 means either paper is in the way. Try rolling the paper bar inside the printer to remove paper jam. Or, most likely the ink well, right hand side, needs cleaning .use toilet paper to remove excess ink in the ink well. Just recovered my printer doing this .

possible soution

check printercartridge and scan print alignment paper

setting option have mentinanceoption use mentinance option

I assume you have good full ink cartridges in the machine.

Go to your printer set up by clicking on START in the lower right hand corner of your screen then click CONTROL PANEL then look for printers - may be under DEVICES AND PRINTERS. Then make sure the correct printer is online in the drop down menu. Look around the choices after that and see if the test page will print properly. Good luck. Pete

Found this today (and it worked):
canon waste tank reset for canon i70

Below is a procedure that in most cases should resolve a Canon i70 waste tank issue

1) Close the print head cover, and turn off the printer. While pressing the Resume/Cancel button, press the Power button.

(Do not release the buttons. The LED lights in green to indicate that a function is selectable.)

2) While holding the Power button, release the Resume/Cancel button.

(Do not release the Power button.)

3) While holding the Power button, press the Resume/Cancel button 3 times, and then release the Power and Resume/Cancel buttons.

(Each time the Resume/Cancel button is pressed, the LED lights alternately in either orange or green, starting with orange.)

During initialization, the LED blinks in green.

4) When the LED stops blinking and lights in green, press the Resume/Cancel button 4 times (Each time the Resume/Cancel button is pressed, the LED lights alternately in either orange or green, starting with orange.)

After the function (menu) is selected, press the Power button. The LED lights in green, and the selected function is performed. (When the operation completes, the printer returns to the menu selection mode automatically.)

*** 4 times Green Waste ink counter resetting Both the main and borderless print waste ink counters are cleared.

Canon i70 InkJet Photo Printer

open the cartridges may be stuck off and installed
first is printer is good ofter prin out coming

this indicates a the print head is not installed correctly or is faulty.

if the green and orange is alternating 5 times then it is caused by the sheet feeder.

Hi Dave
First thing to check is that the left hand paper guide (as you look at the printer from the front) is up tight against the edge of the paper stack in the feeder. I've seen many printers where (over the course of day to day use) the paper guide has progressively moved itself to the left so that the paper is not held at all. The pick-up for the paper is at the bottom right hand corner and if the guide is loose the paper can skew as it goes in - and then it only gets worse.
Another possibility (and this has just happened to me) is that the long piece of sponge that runs the length of the platen (you'll only see it if you open the top and shine a light in) has come adrift slightly. Mine actually came completely out after 2 or three skewed/crumpled sheets. I washed it, dried it out with kitchen towel and then carefully refitted it. Now the printer is running like a demon.
Let us know what your outcome is.

Check the following:
Make sure you have removed the seal on each cartridge.

Turn of Printer, open all shutters, front and back and close them firmly, firmly.

Make sure there is no paper jam.

Usually these are the immediate causes of this kind of scenario.

Then try to print again.

Hard to say without being there, but I am guessing that
you have to get into Lexmark printer setup, and change
the port from LPT1 to USB.

If your computer shows the printer icon n the lower
right hand corner, right click on it and click on PROPERTIES.

IF no icon click on START, ALL PROGRAMS and find the
Lexmark Icon.
Good Luck
Joe
