Thanks! 

I have a Pixma mg7520. It is unresponsive but has a glowing amber light. It does not show an error  code as the screen is not lit up. The computer does recognize the printer.

Hello.

 

If the amber light is on, an error should be on the LCD display as well.  What error is on the display?
