The inner cover is inside and just above where the paper comes out after you make a print or copy. Reach in and flip the grey bar up to close.
You are exactly correct. The confusing thing is that this "gray" plastic bar is not always gray. My bar is black. When my wife put in some more ink she moved this black (gray) plastic flap or bar down. This creates an error saying the inner cover is open. When the black or gray flap or bar in front of the ink is correctly "up" you can see the silver color roller bar that spits the paper out. Ift the flap or bar is down you can't see it. So filp it up and you are ready to gol.

AFTER REPLACING THE CARTRIDGES THAT WERE LOW ON INK, IT KEEPS SAYING TO CLOSE THE COVER. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT COVER THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AS I THINK ALL THE COVERS ARE CLOSED TIGHT. THIS PRINTER HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST PROBLEM, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW CANON GETS AWAY WITH MAKING YOU REPLACE EACH INK BEFORE THE PRINTER WILL WORK. IF YOU WANT TO USE JUST BLACK, SHOULDN'T YOU BE ABLE TO?
I had the exact same problem with my brand new MP610, and I finally just turned it off and back on. That appears to have worked.
Turning it off and on didn't work after all. On my MP610, you have to look inside from the front of the printer to see the inner cover. It's a cover you have to open to install ink cartridges. It took me a while to figure it out on my printer too. They'd save a lot of headaches by putting a small identifying label on the inner cover.

The inner cover is in the front of the printer in the place the paper out if you print is small
I had the same problem also, I found that the issue was the flap in front of the printer catridges, just below, I had lowered it when loading the cartridges and forgot to raise it back up.
You are exactly correct. In front of the ink cartridges is a black or gray plastic flap or bar about 2 1/2 inches high and 6 or 7 inches wide. If this flap or bar is flipped down while replacing ink and not flipped back up to the up position you will get this "innner cover open error". If the flap is down you can not see the silver colored bar that spits the paper out. If the flap or bar is correctly up, you can see the silver metal bar that spits the paper out. Good Luck. Go Auburn and Beat Alabama!

I encounter this problem lately.I print a cd label then this problem appeared,I noticed that the printing set-up was wrong,I set the printer into "AUTO SHEET FEEDER" instead of setting it to "PRINTABLE DISC". All i can suggest is to check your printing setup properly.

The inner cover is a flap on the inside in front of the carriage when it is at rest when the cover us open. You had to flip the inner cover down to access the ink cartridges.
Open the cover. The inner cover is in the center and need to be flipped up.
Good luck.

Are you looking at the canon error window picture that show up on your monitor: It is the front inner flap you see after you open up the two top "covers". I forgot I opened this one looking for a paper jam. The printer cartridges would not even move to the front with this flap opened. After I closed the inner flap it all works (after opening and closing the top two "covers" many times!
The above picture shows the inner cover.
