Difficult to be certain with the information given; but, it may be that you have updated your operating system to a point where the original scanner software is no longer the correct version for your operating system. If you have not already done so, try downloading the latest driver and software from the canon website and install that.

You may download the Canon drivers from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/multipass_series/multipass_mp730#DriversAndSoftware

The error code ##334 represents a EEPROM check error. The manual says this means the Printed Circuit Board may need replacing, however, try this procedure.
Insert paper into machine.
1)To enter service mode press Menu, copy, #
2) Select Test Mode with the + or - keys
3) Press OK
4) Press 8, lcd shows 'Please Wait', after wait, press 3, the lcd then alternates between 3-0 (EEPROM clear), and 3-1 (Purge flag)
5) When EEPROM clear (3-0) shows in lcd, press 0, then OK, then Stop then press the OFF button.

Repeat the above from Step1 to step3
in step 4 this time reset the Purge flag by pressing 0 when 3-1 shows in the lcd, OK, Stop, Off.
If the red fault light is still blinking press Resume.

hope this helps

Try replacing all the ink absorbers and resetting the counter to zero.

Clean the print head/cartridge with Isopropol Alcohol (rubbing alcohol)and Q-Tips, The nozzles, the contacts and all the excess ink that had acummulated around the nozzles. The error message should clear.Run through all the maintenance checks and alignments. If this does not fix it, the print head needs to be replaced about $45-$60 from Canon.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it and give a testimonial for my response. Thanks, Joe I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/joe_8b8c2cd6ce148309

Hello there Hi there you can try.

• Press power button and the printer power will off. Otherwise off, depress again power button.

You may not see a paper jam.

This may work for you, it has worked for many here I given this advice so gave it a try it could work for you. Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.

First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.

If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.
And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.
