Hello, Jordanreinha - You will need to install a color cartridge, too. Oddly enough, with color printers, both the black and color ink/s are used to print black. Go figure? Best wishes.

Something is wrong with the scanner or communication to the scanner

Your feeder wheels need to be cleaned, open it up yourself from diagrams online, locate the feeder wheels, remove them, clean them with rubbing alcohol and a lint free rag, that will take care of the problem, if however the wheels are worn or how chips in them, then you can order the replacement parts If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/michael_2094e122cc46f24c

The tiniest shred of paper in there will cause this message. It does not need to be a whole sheet. Follow these procedures fully https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART124145 http://www.manualslib.com/manual/24399/Canon-Pixma-Mp470-Series.html?page=71 .

If you cannot find it on the printer, your next best option is to log into your internet router if you have one and check the assigned addresses in the DHCP list.

Hi I have found a couple of web pages that may be useful to you, as they explain how to change or clean the absorber pads. The first is here: How to Clean Canon Ink Absorber and the second here: How to replace the ink absorber on canon printer eHow UK I have always found printers very fiddly to muck around with so I am not sure that I would try this. Good luck.

Open up the printer and see if there is a small piece of paper that is interfering with the paper path. You may have to use a flashlight to see it.

No. There are not normally rubber bands in printers. There may be a rubber belt but they are a little more difficult to remove than just falling out. They normally have a tread on the inside of the belt and a smooth exterior. As for paper tray errors. If it is not picking up that there is paper in the tray then there may be something else stuck in the paper feed system.

Canon mp470 is an excellent printer.I will always recommend using original catridges in your printer.Refilled catridges are not accepted by the manufacturers.Let me tell you i used to work for HP in the beginning of my carreer. I have seen that HP refused to accept refilled catriges. hence i would reccommend you take a cotton cloth ,remove the catridges from the printer.Clean the print heads using that cotton cloth n then reinstall the catridges back ....... Lets see if this resolves the issue With Regards, AsitRoutRocks

Hi Lang,You will need to replace the ink absorber - please call 1-800-652-2666 to order this part, and it will come with directions on how to install it, it's a fairly cheap accessory. After a while all ink absorber pads become too full and must be replaced. Additionally, you can try to reset this error, as long as your prints look ok you can usually do this once before having to replace it:

1. Press and hold both the "Stop/Reset" and the "Power" buttons on your printer.
2. Release the "Stop/Reset" button.
3. Push the "Stop/Reset" button two times, while continuing to press the "Power" button.
4. Release the "Power" button. Your printer is now in Service mode.
5. Insert paper into the paper tray.
6. Push the "Stop/Reset" button four times.
7. Press the "Power" button to turn off the printer. The printer will print counter information about the ink absorber before powering off.
8. The printer will now work normally.

Regards,Sean

Put in the printer CD.

If the cover is closed and you have found the switch and tested it ok, try to unplug the printer and restart.

earlier model mp 470's were not wireless capable.

John Doe,Thank you, you're solution worked, however now my colors print very light. Any suggestions?
