Are the cartridges in working order. I had similar problem with another make of printer when printer lights kept flashing and one of the cartridges was defective.
E 4 or E5 for PIXMA is ink cartridge not recognised by printer. Try to take out ink cartridge (one by one) and check the brass connectors (at cartridge and the printer ink holder). If nothing suspicious, put cartridge back gently in and close lock firmly. Normally have to do this 2 - 3 times. If problem still occurs a simple trick put a piece of paper (with a bit of thickness) before locking the ink holder. Detail tutorials available here. Problem is due to the cartridge and ink holder connectors not aligning properly between one another.

When the Power and Alarm lamps flash alternately, and P and number (error code) are alternately displayed on the LED, an error requiring servicing might have occurred.
Turn off the machine, and unplug the power cord of the machine from the power supply.
Plug the power cord of the machine back in, and then turn on the machine.
If the problem is not resolved, contact your Canon service representative.
Hello Surs,
Wish I could be more confident of this but I couldn?t find much on this series of printer. You didn?t indicate if there were any LED codes being flashed but this is the only reference I could find involving ?6000? and this model printer.
Issue: Power light (or Alarm / Power lights) alternate(s) between orange and green 3 times (6000)

Solution: Reset the printer
Follow these steps to reset the printer:
1. Turn the printer off with the Power button (if available).
2. Disconnect the data cable from the printer (not applicable to WiFi, Bluetooth or Infrared) .
3. Unplug the printer's power cord for a few seconds, and then plug it back in. If troubleshooting a communication issue, reconnect the data cable (not applicable to WiFi, Bluetooth or Infrared).
4. Turn the printer back on.
I don?t have a service manual for this printer nor was I able to find one anywhere. From poking around the Canon site it appears that there are other error codes than what is published in their manual or web site so it might be worth a call to the help desk.
