Error code C000 - PIXMA MX860

[rpulaski]

My Canon PIXMA  MX 860 ran out of 2 ink cartridges, so I ordered replacements on line and when I replaced the 2 that the printer said to an error code showed C000. I shut the printer off and when Im turned it back on the same error code C000 appeared. I can not get rid of this code rendering my printer useless. I even removed the new ink cartridges and replaced them with the empty ones and error code still showed.
