Canon Pixma MX490 same error code, 2 printers. 6910

[candrade]

I have 2 printers, purchased at the same time, using in 2 homes.  One stopped working and gave me a 6910 error code.  Code says service needed.  After trying to factory reset, reinstall drivers, etc.  It would not let me do anything and am at square one with same error code.  Brought 2nd machine from one location to current location, thinking it would just allow installation and i am completely shocked to see same error code on 2nd machine.  2nd machine has hardly been used.  Is there such a thing as being completely outdated and unable to use.  Machine is still in great shape and hardly used.  Ink is still sold so I'm thinking I should be able to get it going but am at a loss as to what to do next........will not allow me to do anything, have tried several times unplugging, etc.  1st one went to the dump, is that the fate for the 2nd as well.  Anyone, please advise.
