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.

the 5400 error is telling you there was excessive temperature in the printhead, and this error code will stop all printing attempts.

Unplug the power from the printer and leave it off for a hour and then check the pins inside the carriage and clean them and clean the contacts on the back of the head.

Verify the ink cartridges.

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...

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

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!!

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.

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

Please send it to your nearest service centre.

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.

Hi ...

This printer has an ink absorber that takes in ink during the printing and print head cleaning processes. The cleaning process is necessary in order to keep the print head nozzles from becoming clogged. Over the life of the printer, the amount of ink that the ink absorber has absorbed is calculated by the printer. Eventually, after substantial use, the printer will enter an error condition when the ink absorber is nearly full. At this point, printing is still possible by pressing the <Resume> button on the printer. To protect the printer from damage, you will not be able to print at all once the ink absorber is full.
Canon recommends having the printer serviced before the absorber becomes full. We are aware that there are many "do-it-yourself" Web sites that offer instructions for making this repair. Replacing the ink absorber is a complicated and potentially messy procedure. Even if the ink absorber is successfully changed, the ink absorber counter must be reset. Be aware that if you attempt this procedure, it is at your own risk.
