My printer wont do anything 5 amber flashes is all it is doing what can i do to fix this
From iP3000 user manual:
Five flashes: Print Head not installed / Print Head not installed correctly / Print Head is defective
Install the Print Head. If the Print Head is already installed, remove the Print Head and check the electrical contacts for foreign matter, then reinstall.
After reinstalling the Print Head, you may need to realign it.
If this error still remains, the Print Head may be damaged. Contact a Canon service representative.

I get five amber flashes. I have reinstalled the printhead and tried resetting the printer by disconnecting it for at least 10 min. Neither of these does any good. Although, I did manage to reset it once and it worked for a couple of print jobs and then began blinking again. I don't think there is anything wrong with the printer except it seems to want to cut out to this error message and then it won't function.
Please is there ANY person who can help with this problem. Cancelling the printing and turning the printer off and back on does not help. What else can I do. Thanks. Louise
