I have a canon pixma ip1600 printer,
when told to print is always flashing
blink, and there is an answer service error 5600.
How do I make the printer
walk normally? Thank you.
Cannon printers have a problem with the waste ink absorber. It is a little tank situated at the back of the printer. Have you ever reffiled your cardtiges. That may cause the problem. Take it to a service centre.Cannon printers have a problem with the waste ink absorber. It is a little tank situated at the back of the printer. Have you ever reffiled your cardtiges.

Generally means that you're out of ink in your ink cartridge. Note that the NUMBER of times it flashes is significant: if it's 2 or 3 flashes at a time, then it's a paper problem (jam, out of paper, etc.), otherwise it's an ink problem (replace the cartridge).
Jennifer, According to an answer by kev1952 on 19 Sept, to my similar error condition ( "repeating sequence of 7 orange and 1 longer green flash of power LED" ) in a Canon i550 printer, and assuming that what you called yellow I called orange, then you too may have a printhead fault. kev1952 recommended to try to get it cleaned and checked at an ink refilling specialist service.

I have a canon ip 1300 produces an error(both LED's are alternately blinking one blink for the green led and 5 blink from the orange led) then it will produce an error 5600.
