No manual on Canon Multiplass C530 printer. How

I found that some Windows Plug and Play services were note running and were set to start 'manually'. I started those services which seemed related to Plug and Play, and the installation went without further errors.

This sounds like the print head alignment is not stabilized and may indicate you need a new print head ($$$). Try looking in the Service Manual.
A copy of the Canon i860 Service Manual is downloadable at:

Does the printer show up in Control Panel, Printers? Have you installed the drivers? Does it do anything from the computer? Drivers are here http://driverscollection.com/?H=MultiPASS%20C530&By=Canon

MM85

You can get it HERE

Here is the driver package for XP (XPC530.EXE)

sounds like you have the ink cartridges in the wrong spot
1. Replace / Install the Ink Tanks - C530 / C545 / C560 / C555 / C635 2. Cleaning the Print Head - C555 / C560 / C635 / C530 / C545 3. Printer attempts to print but no ink is on the paper (C530,C560,C545,C555) 4. Properly replacing / Installing the BJ Cartridge - C530 / C545 / C560 / C555 / C635

I believe what you are seeing is "WASTE INK TANK FULL"? This means that the tank that collects the waste ink from cleaning the head is full. You can read more than you ever want to know on this subject on the following link: http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/printer/38697#1 These are the steps to clear the message by reseting the counter: 1)Printer on, press Additional Functions, Scan, Copy, Scan Now you should be in service mode from there for waste ink tank reset 2)Select Test mode which is like the last available selection 3)Select #8 Printer Test, it will do something here like cleaning or something then it will come up with some other options this is where it gets a bit confusing cause now all it says is like 8-2 or 8-3 push the + or - button until it says 8-3 then hit the select button The menu will now say EEPROM Clear Select Ink count which is option (0) and press set Your done!

Make sure the guides where the copy paper is loaded, are tight against both sides of the paper.
