Halo Barbara, Did you mean Pixma MP140/160/150/170/180?. I never hear Canon pixma MP10. Well,it doesn't matter. Did you refill your cartridge?. Error code E6 indicates that ink level is not detected properly by the printer. It usually occurs in refilled cartridge. To fix this problem you need to deactivate ink level detection function by performing following procedure: For MP150/160/170/180: Press START button (Black or Colour) For MP140: Hold down STOP/RESET button for about 9 seconds
Please rate me as Fixya if this solution useful for you. Thanks
