If no default printer is selected, or no printer driver is installed, Printer Error #5 is displayed.Select a default printer in Windows by going to your Control Panel > Printers. Highlight your Printer and go to File on then Menu Bar and choosing Set as Default.If the correct printer is already set as the default, and you get Error #5, try setting another printer as the default printer. Then select and set the desired printer as the default, and reboot the machine. This sometimes clears the problem.If you need any technical help on printer then you can reach at http://www.vtechsquad.com/printer-support/

Ink Absorber Full This may clear the ink absorber problem. There is ink absorbers located at both ends of the printer where the ink head move. To dry the ink absorber, power up the printer and open the cover so the ink cartridges and print head will move to the middle of the printer. Then take several sheets of absorbent tissue, fold it into a pad and place it inside the printer over the ink absorber on the far left hand side of the printer to soak up the excess ink. You may need to change the absorbent tissue a few times. Then repeat the same procedure on the right hand ink absorber. Close the lid and the printer should now function normally.

I have the same problem sometimes it seems to clear when i turn off and back on and by holding the paper to stop it feeding , i think the error is paper jam , sometimes takes a few tries to clear , also check that your printer head isn't jamming . Stick a piece of cardboard in the hole at the rear righthand side so you can have the printer open so you can see the moving parts when you start it up , i have fitted an Automatic ink system fitted to mine so no need for expensive cartridges constantly , http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cis-continuous-ink-system-Ciss-fits-CL-41-CL-51-PG-40-PG-50-MP-Series-/270835941485 hope this helps...

Verify the ink cartridges.

Verify the ink cartridge.

you have not provided enough details but i think you paper conveyance path may be obstructed, could be torn pieces of paper from previous jam. otherwise supply more info.

Replacing the absorber is a hard task. if this is the first time you have had this problem.Hold the ON/OFF button down, while holding the Stop/Reset botton down. Look under your finger untill the green LED is on. Then follow these - press reset button twice, wait a few seconds, and then press it 4 times. (You hold the power button down the whole time.) Then let go of both buttons. Then turn off the printer, it takes a while to respond to this. Turn it back on and off you go!!

paper jam clean the paper out of it turn it off and back on should fix it

First you need driver..you can download from manufacturer website..After that you can install it...

This seems to be fault in the transport of the paper in the rollers. So if you have used any adhesive sticker printing, it is possible that some glue has got clogged into the rollers. If not there can be some jammed paper in the rollers or the mechanism. So start this work only if you are mechanically able with the right tools. Remove the covers to get access to the mechanism . Remove the motor drive assembly , the fitting of the motor to the mechanism. Once this is removed the rollers can be turned manually so that you will be able to feed a paper to see the progress of the movement while studying if there is any obstruction or damage to the paper. There is a in-detect sensor, usually an opto-coupler , make sure this is not clogged or dirty as this IR detection feeds the signal to the processor for starting the motor drive feed. Reassemble but make sure the rollers are aligned to be in equal gap to feed the paper without a side pull. Now you must print and see if the fault has changed. If not repeat the above work to confirm the area of obstruction.

I just bought a CANON PIXMA MP145. I installed the drivers perfectly but now when i try to scan something, it gives me an error code 2114,0...plz solve this problem

Please try to uninstall the printer software, then restart the PC and reinstall the latest software, by downloading it from the canon support site.

please service the printer with bloor

Paper jam I suppose is the commonest of all printer problems as it can occur due to strayed, stuck bits of papers in pathway of paper tray, outlet, roller etc. I would recommend cleaning the paper inlet, outlet, and other possible areas to avoid a paper jam situation. I have observed that most people fan the paper pile to keep them dry or non-sticky. It's a wrong method because fanning the pile of papers make them go haywire and often lead to paper jam.

Does the scanner work? If the scanner works and the printer doesn't then it's definitely a print head problem. This is not a DIY fix. If the scanner doesn't work either then, you have a power supply problem. Usually this means that the small miniature power plug has been damaged (look at it to see if its bent or loose) or the mains power plug is broken inside. Change the mains power plug first as its easier... tools needed: a new mains plug, a small screwdriver (electrical contact type with lamp in handle works best), and a pair of wire insulation striping pliers. Just cut off the old plug and connect the wires to the two poles (this type of equipment is internally grounded (double insulated) so usually there is nothing connected to the ground terminal (leave it blank). Try the device and see if the scanner powers up. If it does, then you're home free. If it still doesn't power up, then you'll have to replace the miniature plug too. You need a 25 watt soldering iron and some fine (thin) electronics solder. Bear in mind that polarity (what is plus and what is minus or positive and negative) is important as there are only two fine wires and two terminals on the new miniature plug. Unscrew the jacket off the replacement plug and pass the wires through it first and then attach the two fine wires. Attach them by twisting gently through the small hole provided in each terminal and then check to see if the scanner works, if it does... disconnect and solder the wires in-place. When buying the new plug, take the old plug with you to buy the proper one there are many different types and a slight size difference can affect the connection. Worst comes to worst, the fusible link inside the power transformer (the plastic rectangular box the power cords plug into) is fried. In this case, you have to buy a new power cord... the whole thing. A fusible link is intended to protect the circuitry in the event of a mains power problem. It can't be replaced. Next time, plug your equipment into a surge protecting multi-tap (extension cord) specifically made for electronics. Belkin and ADP, among a few others, make reputable surge protectors.

Uninstall the printer drivers and any software that cam with the install disk. In Windows go to My Computer>Hardware>Devices Manager and then click open the printers/scanners entry, then right click and select "delete". (If you have any Yellow highlights anywhere in any device list... the problem runs a bit deeper. You will need to delete and reinstall any hardware that is Yellow marked as this indicates a device conflict. My recommendation is always to update standard Plug and Play drivers with specific drivers provided by the device manufacturer, if available.) Check the software to see if an Uninstall command is included in the PROGRAM file. If not, go into MY Computer and uninstall the printer/scanner software from the Program List. REBOOT the computer! Then go to the Cannon home page and find the newest drivers for the product and your operating system on their site; download and install. Also check for updates to any of the software that you had on the install CD that came with the printer/scanner. Install only the software that came with the install CD from the CD. THEN REBOOT THE COMPUTER. Then go back to the Cannon support site and install each software update IN ORDER until you finish. Reboot the computer and check how everything works. Bear in mind that some software may be made by a third party (from another supplier) and to get most recent updates you may have to go to the third party site. (As an example, EPSON typically uses NEWSOFT and ABBYY Fine Reader for scanning.) Do not use illegal software or cracks to get new versions of software that you're equipment may be able to use. This only makes it more difficult to update the programs later. The advice provided by the other technicians is valid, just keep things as simple as you can when diagnosing compatibility issues.

Try unplugging, plugging back in. Take out the paper and put it back in. Take out all cartridges and put them back in. If none of that works your printer is either broken or you do not have the software installed on your computer.
